Hi Noel:

    You don't say where the "black part" is. Is it a flat surface you
    can easily reach? Or it is in recessed parts? I do know that silver
    that has been textured or bead blasted will take a much darker
    patination than smooth surfaced silver, so whether or not that would
    help is the question. Let us know how you resolve your problem since
    I'm sure all of us would like a blacker black in certain areas some
    of the time and are always interested in how others achieve this. 

    Kay, in warm Sarasota, where although the calendar would suggest
    winter, it's not happening here.
