Problem with getting bright yellowish finish on brass

2005

Hi there,

we are finding problems in getting bright yellowish finish on our brass products.

we follow the procedure as follows :

1. we dip the parts in to diluted nitric acid
2. give 2 wash in softened water
3. Dip into chromic acid
4. give 2 wash in softened water

the result is redish orange colour but we want bright yellowish color on our items.

what to do, please help.
