Default Artificailly aging metal

Wondering if anyone out there has a good way of artificially aging metal. Say if there is a spot on a receiver that needs to be polished out and after you want to gray it back to try and match the rest of the patina on the gun.

I know when I took jewelry class in college, we used to use a pickeling solution to darken metals.
