I too lost a book on coloring metal, actually a magazine with an article on coloring stainless steel by applying a chrome oxide layer on the surface. If any one knows how or who supplies the process, please contact me. thanks

Hi. Finishing.com's supporting advertiser, B&M Finishers / Prismatic Stainless Steel [a finishing.com supporting advertiser], offers this process under the trade name Prismatic Stainless Steel, and they may be able to help you, Todd.

Dear Sir,

I want to know if there is any paint or liquid metal available which can be applied on the surface of the metal which will make the non conductive metal conductive and then plating can be done on site without dipping.

Secondly how to clean the job before and after plating.

Hi, Rajat. Lots of companies offer conductive paints; then the articles can be brush plated.
