Default rack bleached out

This spring I found my nice 8 point I lost last fall over a mile away. The rack is bleached out due to the weather and sun. Do any of you know a good way to put natural coloring back into the rack?

Rub it with motor oil. It will darken the rack and put a really lite shine on it.

Lightly run some steele wool over it. get some brown paste shoe poilsh. Just put little on a spot to test for the color you want. Lightly put the paste on and then wipe off to desired color. Oil does work also ,I just like the color and texture you can get from messing around with polish. Like you can put it on heavier at the bumpy bases which just enhances the rest of the antler

True, but they won't rust for a long time. So he'd have that going for him, which is nice.
