There was a thread about this on a newsgroup (by saying just 'F5' it got
past my Nikon filter!) recently. Someone suggested black nail varnish;
someone else said black nail varnish was the same stuff as modellers' dope;
and yet another suggestion was to use a Sharpie pen. On my OM-40 I cleaned
the brassed parts with lighter fuel and then applied a permanent black
marker pen to them - a considerable improvement and easy to reapply when it
wears off.
Some markers are a bit greyish rather than black so perhaps a test trip
round a stationers looking for a shade match might help the original poster.
