Parts passivation
Hi Gaz
I've never tried this, but Frost sell a DIY kit for passivating your own bits and pieces?

Good luck

Gaz,
When I did mine true passivated was not available in the UK and had been changed to Yellow zinc plating or some such term, depends who you talk to.
Any electroplater should be able to offer this and you can have various thickness as well, 25microns as a max I think.
Sprayed all mine with a clear matt VHT paint which took away that "rainbow" effect that plating has and gives a more gold colour.
One last thing, take pictures of everything that you send as small bits can often go missing in the process.
HTH,
Andy.

I thought you could only passivate stainless steel - does someone make stainless tinware or was that the reason for the zinc coat instead?
