For aging on aluminum I have been using a caustic soda solution to literally "eat away" the metal and create a pitted look that takes paint or birchwood caseys aluma black very well.
Go to the local hardware store and buy a bottle of drain cleaner (lye). take your saber completely apart, cover up the threads with electrical tape (I use rubber stoppers to seal the ends) dip the saber in the solution for 12 hours (or until the metal is pitted to your liking) you have to be careful with this stuff (ever see that scene in fight club about chemical burns???....same stuff) also it will change tolerances ( i now do machining after the solution bath if I can help it).
where did you find the blue print?
