For Gold or Silver, I use Sharpie Extra Fine Point Paint pens:

For Black, I use a Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pen in super fine point.  They have India Ink in them.

I just bought what Eric posted and used it on the bow I built for Kenny in the swap.  Not that I haven't seen much much better, but its the best lettering I've been able to do yet.
