Micro-Tools sell Lacquer Stick Sets. Come in various colours.Just rub into indentation and then wipe off excess.Work well and permanent.

However I use Humbrol matt enamels for model kits.Fill indentations using small brush or wooden cocktail stick and leave to dry.Take a small piece of card cut from cereal packet.Soak with Ronsonol/Naptha and use to rub off excess.The card ensures that the infill is left flush with top of engraving/stamping.I have done this many times on my FED and Zorki type 1 specials.You do not need to prepare the 'metal'before hand.

As Jon says for the quick instant repair, nail polish takes some beating.Just keep the polish and remover off any plastic parts.
