I have one or two ideas but would be interested to hear if anyone's actually done it.

Doing it all the time, especially Webley pistols, it really sets them off. Degrease the area with cellulose thinners, brush white or red model paint across the whole lettering area and wipe across the surface with a rag. The stamped lettering remains full of paint, looks like new.
