Trying to make aluminum change color with simple finish
We have some existing .5" thick dimensional aluminum letters installed on the walls throughout the institute. They currently have a brushed natural finish and I was wondering whether or not there might be a way to darken the color without removing them from the wall? Thanks.

You can oil it very sparingly (olive oil or
linseed oil
[affil links] or egg white), then you must heat it to 200-400 °C ( hot air gun is best)!
Good luck!
