Try some brown toner lacquer sprayed into a container and apply with a small artists brush. You may need to build a couple layers to get the color right.

I suspect a lot of the black trim on radio and TV cabinets was originally hand painted after the main finish was sprayed. Sounds tedious, but a trained factory worker could put that trim on in seconds. Back in the day people used to hand paint sign and vehicle lettering, as well as freehand pin striping.
