Another option is to use a white crayon, I think the cheaper ones worked better than the name brand. After filling the depression, you may need to clean the surrounding area up by wiping.

I let it dry thoroughly. Then I spray some carb cleaner on a clean rag and wipe away the areas around the crest/serial/armory markings leaving the paint in the engraving or stamp. I have to spray the rag and use a clean area for each dab of wiping otherwise the wiped paint will spread. Works for me and oil/solvent doesn't sen to bother the paint.
