Hi Mate,

you've probably posted in an unusual section to get much traffic for you question

Try posting in our signmaking section
General Signmaking Topics - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

but here are a few links to get you started.
you could try using a clear contact like used to cover books on the brass before cutting the design, this will mask off sections where blackening isn't wanted.
Try a small sample first! .....i'm not a sign maker by any stretch of the imagination!
