Conductive Black Coating on Aluminum

I'm Looking for a conductive Black to go on A380 Aluminum. We use a Black nickel already, but we would like something less metallic looking. It must be RoHS compliant as well.

Thanks

Hi, Bernie. I could be wrong, but this sounds as easy as running the nickel plating with less or no brightener, or sanding or beadblasting before plating. If the nickel plating is functionally satisfactory, I wouldn't change more than necessary.

Regards,
