Well after the suggestions given in the original post and from a couple DM’s I gave it the good old college try. I used Speedball Super Black India ink with shellac as it was the best quality available with the highest carbon black content in town. I am going to give it 24 hours to dry and then will give it a light dusting of matte lacquer clear. Once that sets up I’ll give the raised metal a buff.

Thanks everyone for your help.
