FWIW, There's many an old gun floating around the used gun market, with Gold Model Paint (enamel) in the engraving/lettering/stamping applied exactly the same way.
IIRC, I first saw the method, using white paint, in a gun rag article, in the early 70's.
I use it on guns I wish to photograph F/S, to show special markings clearly.
