Alu Black, or any bluing, after trying that same trick with my DL-44 flash hider, I found out can't be applied evenly in just one pass. It works best if it's done in multiple passes, buffed down with a fine steel wool pad, and then applied again. For mine, I did 3 light passes, buffing in-between, to get it to the color I was happy with.
Of all the methods explored so far, this looks the best to my eyes.
While I do see slight brown, I think it's just from the light. It looks more like the black on the grenade section than it does the brown on the windvane.
Of course, this could just be me. Now I just can't help but think, how aren't there any really good pics of the v2 prop?
Edit: Also having looked at the video with Brandon and Mark Hamill, it does appear that this section is black. But again, I could be mistaken.

Just as a precautionary step for those of you putting aluminum in your dishwasher, I would advise that you do not wash any other dishes, cookware, nor any cooking or eating utensils in the same load. So basically put it in there by itself. Further, I would run an empty load to clean the dishwasher just to be safe. I've been reading up on the effects of aluminum leaching and it's spooky. Granted, the amount that may be leaching out is low and that the amount you may end up consuming off of contaminated dishes is low, and that it may take quite a bit of spoon licking to totally poison yourself, but why risk it? Brain lesions similar to Alzheimer's disease, and atributible to aluminum consumption, have been discovered.
So, if it were me, I'd be using a bucket that had nothing to do with food preparation, dish cleaning, or even cleaning the bathtub just to be safe. And I'd be doing it outside while standing upwind of the bucket.
Be safe guys!

I have also read this, but didn't get that much detail out of my search. All I could find was "don't do it, it's not healthy"
Thanks for sharing

I really haven't seen a whole lot of articles about the health hazards of aluminum in the dishwasher. However I have read a ton of articles about ruining your aluminum cookware in a dishwasher. Maybe the aluminum cookware has a something added to it to make it safe to cook with? Just to be safe I cleaned my dishwasher really well but I'm pretty sure I have aluminum parts in my washer.
