Want a Black Stainless Steel Finish by plating

We are looking to finish a welded stainless steel frame assembly in black. Presently we powder coat - is there a plating solution that would be corrosion resistant and electrically conductive.

Hi, Tim . There are several choices including black chrome, black nickel, and black conversion coating on zinc-iron. Black chrome is probably the most expensive but the most durable. Good luck.
