If india ink doesn't do it, then try black shoe polish.  It should seep in and give a permanent color.

I’ve an original Lucas control box cover in need of restoration.  I’ve removed some of the yellowish brown patina with 0000 steel wool, and used some Mother’s Back to Black, but there’s more that needs to be done.  Seeking the wisdom of others as to the best process to restore the cover to its original semi-gloss black.  Is painting it the only way?  If so, how best to prep it?  Other options?

 

Thanks.
