Default Dull zinc wanted...

I hate zinc.

At least, I think it is zinc that I hate.

I\'ve got some electronic equipment I\'m trying to restore, and its case and innards contain a lot of that dull gray finish metal which I assume is zinc plated. Anyway, it has darkened in certain areas, and especially where it was subjected to ancient fingerprints. Is there any way to remove this \"tarnish\"? I guess I could re-plate, but I\'m wondering if there is any kit/solution which will provide that same dull gray finish.

If I just polish, I think I\'d just be removing the zinc - and anyway, it would not then match the original dull coating. Any suggestions?

Thanks
