i researched this a bit for you (google for 30 seconds)
i would try getting one of these from a gun shop or mail order from ebay or whatever:

-edit-

just bought one on ebay for $8.34 USD
going to try the gloss one. i have enough other black electronics (flashlights mostly) that i'm always scratching up that this is probably worth it.
Other thing you could do is try a hobby shop and get a tiny bottle of paint they use for models, should be about $3 at most. I just don't think that type of paint works on metal?? Lots of people use black nail-polish but I am definately not going to the store to buy some of that!! Probably would come off almost as easy as a normal pen too
