Denny,
While at iHobby this year, I noticed a product that could have 
numerous applications for this sort of procedure.

If you look here:
http://www.deluxematerials.com/newitems.html
and look at the product called "Liquid Gravity" you can see what I mean.

This product is a thick self leveling liquid that can be poured into 
things like boilers and cars and it sets in a nice dull black 
(actually, when put on a floor of a coal gon, it takes on the 
appearance of coal dust) - there are a variety of products to "fix" 
it.   Non-toxic, no need to heat it - it has a lot of uses.

Some of their other products were intriguing as well.   The product 
line is supposed to be picked up by Horizon for distributing in the US.
