What is Bright Finish on Nails

I am interested in knowing what the finish / coating is on bright finish nails. I have 130 boxes at 50 lbs each of 3/8" X 8" spikes...in natural steel finish. Am trying to figure out how to make these into bright finish spikes.

Thanks

The bright finish put on nails is usually added by plating nickel over the finished nail, there are a few other finishes that are done as well. I really can't think of an economical way to do what you want, I suppose you could electroplate nickel onto the spikes. Electroplating isn't my forte but I'm sure you can find something on the internet.
