You could always try painting the armor a dark Grey or a very dark silver, and then put in the details with black.
Or, you could try a glossy coat for the raised areas, and a dark, not shiny coat for the depressed areas, that would bring out details.
Pictures should be helpful.

im sure a solid black wouldn't look good due to past experience.
try a dark Grey or like what Tipper said.
Adam's weathering technic should work

well i was considering painting my Helm steel colored but was worried about details as well since i did Flying Squirells Pep Helm. But i did come accrost one good Spray paint that i have found in the automotive section of Fred Meyers and Wal-Mart that is usedto paint rims and it's a dark Steel with sparkle type stuff in it (like Automotive Paint) and it would work perfect for showing details still and would give you that perfect color to match Halo 2 or 3's "Steel" color. I hope this helped.
