Yes, it's called "any paint you like". Really, just any good spray paint, applied in a nice thin coat, will work.

Would brass black work? It oxidizes the metal instead of coating it and turns it black.

Because this is a chemical application, the fine details will not be obliterated. Most Victor Brass reproducer have a dark black/blue finish anyway. The potmetal ones are painted black.

Glad to help, and glad it worked for you. Also, this stuff is great for those black/blue screws for Edison, Victor and such.
