Hi all.
Got some Aluminum Black not too long ago, and have been experimenting with it. So far, my results are "meh". I've seen some great weathering and effects with it, but not getting those results myself yet.
So far I've used a couple MHS pieces as well as some 6061 test panels I have for testing paints, etching etc.
I've followed the instructions, but it seems to come out just blotchy and barely gray. I've tried it with the parts as is, and also super cleaned with acetone. I've tried heating the parts, and a few different application methods.
It just never goes on like I've seen on other vids. I understand the alloy of your material will affect the finish, but 6061 is most of what our sabers are.
This might sound counter-intuitive, as I'm trying to weather the parts and make them dirty looking. I don't know, it just doesn't feel right.
Anyone who's had decent results share any tips? I'd appreciate it.
Thanks
