    Aluminum Colouring

    Does anyone know a way to colour aluminum black while still keeping the brushed look? Without resorting to anodizing of course.

    I'd do something like a powder coat then use a metal brush and gently bush it in one direction

    I was kind of thinking something i could do for myself, which kind of puts powder coating out of the equation.
