It is not rocket science, just put on some rubber rubber gloves ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] pick up an old rag and swab it on rubbing back and forth until you get the color of coating you are looking for, then rinse off. In only a few cases will you need to swab on a deox first, most of the time the mechanical action of rubbing on the chromate will simultaneously remove surface oxides.
