You don’t dilute aluminum black you just leave it on for less time. The longer the contact the darker it gets.

im familiar with birchwood aluma black which you can dilute with water. Birchwood Casey aluminum black, according to a quick Google search can be diluted with water also to lessen the effect. I’d prefer this method rather than full strength, less time.
thats great to know, i have only ever used water to stop the effect! Ill try a few different dillutions
the decals will not be placed on, so you can choose to purchase a different decal directly from TheSaberTrade to use instead

I am also familiar with Birchwood aluminum Black. You are correct you can dilute it. However you fail to realize that it's also not a permenant solution. It wears off over a small period of time.
All paint Jobs do.
If you are handling a prop or saber enough to wear finish you are opting for the “weathered and lived in look” which is star wars to be fair ha!
Yeah, when desired effect is achieved, clear coat it.

Man, these look incredible. I’d be on board with paying a little extra for the blacked-out detailing, for what that’s worth.
We are working on the diluted aluminum black ratios and will report our findings and an option for the service to darken the grips if desired.
We will post some pictures and get some feedback

There's a kill switch and a 2020 led strip mentioned in the install that aren't on the sheet, not sure about the 2020 strip but the kill switch was on the original list from way back when.Parts list Doc

I'd be interested in the painting service if only because I don't want to have to do it again (I have a Korbanth that I did myself, which I'm hoping to replace with this one)!
