Birchwood Casey Super Black Flat Black Touch-Up Pen – BC-15112
Even carefully maintained firearms and outdoor equipment eventually develop scratches, handling marks, and worn finish areas. The Birchwood Casey Super Black Flat Black Touch-Up Pen provides a convenient way to conceal those cosmetic imperfections on compatible black-finished surfaces without undertaking a complete refinishing project.
Designed for matte and flat-black finishes, Super Black uses fast-drying, lead-free paint formulated for adhesion and durability. Whether touching up an exposed edge on an alloy firearm receiver, covering a scratch on a trigger guard, or refreshing the black exterior of a scope or flashlight, this pen makes small finish repairs straightforward.
Keep Your Equipment Looking Its Best
Black finishes can make even minor abrasions stand out, especially when scratches expose the lighter aluminum beneath a dark coating. Super Black helps visually blend these worn areas with the surrounding flat-black surface, restoring a more uniform appearance.
The pen is particularly useful for firearm owners who prefer to maintain the original appearance of their equipment rather than leave cosmetic scratches exposed. It is also convenient for routine maintenance, range equipment upkeep, and touching up black sporting accessories that see frequent use.
Flat Black for Matte-Finished Firearms and Accessories
The flat-black formula is intended for equipment with a subdued, non-glossy black appearance. Common applications include compatible alloy receivers, trigger guards, riflescope exteriors, binocular housings, cameras, flashlights, and fishing reels.
For glossy black surfaces, Birchwood Casey also offers the Super Black Gloss Black Touch-Up Pen, BC-15111. Selecting the finish that most closely matches the original surface helps the repaired area blend naturally with the surrounding equipment.
Convenient Pen-Style Application
Unlike traditional paint touch-ups that require a separate brush and container, the Super Black pen provides a convenient applicator for small areas. Its fast-drying formulation is intended for localized cosmetic repairs and helps fill visible scratches or worn spots.
Super Black is a surface-applied paint, not a chemical bluing treatment or anodizing process. It is intended to improve appearance rather than recreate the original factory-applied metal finish or restore damaged corrosion protection to its original specification.

Birchwood Casey Super Black Flat Black – Applications, Finish Matching & Touch-Up Guide
What Is Birchwood Casey Super Black Used For?
Birchwood Casey Super Black is designed to conceal scratches, nicks, and worn areas on compatible black-finished firearms and sporting equipment. The flat-black version, BC-15112, is particularly appropriate for matte and low-sheen finishes commonly found on firearm receivers, trigger guards, scopes, and other shooting accessories.
Because the product applies paint directly to the affected surface, it can help reduce the visible contrast between a scratched area and the surrounding black finish without requiring complete disassembly or refinishing.
Flat Black vs. Gloss Black – Which Should You Choose?
Birchwood Casey manufactures Super Black Touch-Up Pens in two finish options:
- Flat Black – BC-15112: Intended for matte and low-gloss black surfaces, including many black-finished firearm components and outdoor accessories.
- Gloss Black – BC-15111: Intended for black surfaces with a shinier, more reflective appearance.
For the best cosmetic match, compare the existing surface sheen before selecting a touch-up color. Black finishes vary between manufacturers, and no universal black paint can be guaranteed to match every factory coating perfectly.
Super Black vs. Aluminum Black – What's the Difference?
Although both products can darken the appearance of certain surfaces, they accomplish this in different ways.
Birchwood Casey Super Black is a surface-applied paint used to cover cosmetic scratches and worn areas on compatible finished surfaces. It does not recreate anodizing, bluing, or another original metal conversion coating.
Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black is a chemical treatment designed for compatible bare aluminum surfaces. It chemically darkens exposed aluminum rather than leaving a conventional black paint film.
For black-painted or coated equipment, Super Black may be the more appropriate choice. For exposed aluminum, the correct treatment depends on the underlying metal, existing finish, and manufacturer's recommendations.
How to Apply Super Black Touch-Up Paint
- Unload and Secure the Firearm: If working on a firearm, verify that it is unloaded and remove ammunition from the work area.
- Inspect the Damaged Area: Confirm that the scratch or worn spot is cosmetic and does not involve structural damage or a component requiring professional repair.
- Clean the Surface: Remove loose dirt, grease, and contamination with a compatible cleaner, following the instructions on the product label.
- Apply the Paint Carefully: Use the pen applicator to cover the affected area. Thin, controlled applications may be preferable to leaving excess paint on the surrounding surface.
- Allow Proper Drying: Follow the manufacturer's directions for drying and handling before returning the equipment to service.
- Inspect the Finish: Evaluate the repaired surface after drying and determine whether another application is appropriate.
Avoid applying paint to internal operating components, firearm bores, chambers, locking surfaces, electrical contacts, optical lenses, or other areas where an added coating could interfere with function.
Does Super Black Restore Factory Anodizing?
No. Super Black is cosmetic paint. It can conceal exposed metal and worn exterior finish areas, but it does not restore the original anodized layer or reproduce the factory treatment.
For many small exterior blemishes, cosmetic concealment may be all that is needed. More extensive finish damage or corrosion may require a different refinishing method.
Is Super Black a Permanent Repair?
Birchwood Casey describes Super Black as non-permanent. Although the manufacturer formulates the paint for adhesion and durability, a touch-up may eventually wear or require reapplication, particularly on high-contact surfaces.
Can Super Black Be Used on Scopes or Flashlights?
Yes. Birchwood Casey identifies scopes, binoculars, cameras, flashlights, fishing reels, and other sporting accessories among the intended applications. Always verify that the surface is suitable for paint and avoid lenses, markings, moving assemblies, and sensitive components.
