In Response To: Aging metal screws (Charlie)

Gun blueing will darken most steel enough so that a little steel wool will clean them back to match the rest. I also use amonia fumes to darken brass and other metals, can't recall if it works on zink plate. If all else fails shoot with a black or brown spray paint, lightly, and buff back off to match.
