The reason I arrived at the way I do it now is that it's 
possible, and doesn't take a month. Blacking tops, lubricating 
tops, epoxying or CAing pins in, keeping lacquer off the pins, 
etc, meant that I had to abandon something I thought 
beneficial to performance to make it look like everyone 
thought it should. Now I epoxy pins in the natural colored 
cap, dry brush the slop down into the notches to get it out of 
the way, and spray a coat of semi gloss lacquer over the whole 
mess to even out the sheen. Works for me.
