Someone here suggested Penetrol a while back. I tried it and it
really works!

I used a heat gun on mine and I would not do that again. I ended up with much
blacker flares, but with green spotches on them that seem permanent.

I put Penetrol on mine a couple months ago and they have stayed black... or at
least muck blacker than they were. it was easy and cheap. You can get it at
paint or home improvement stores in the paint department.
