Electroplating tin plate strip

Is it possible to electrolitically nickel plate tin plated strip as a post finishing operation?

Semantics here. Yes you can nickel plate over tin with the proper preplate steps.
I would definitely not call it a "post" process.

thanks for the reply, can you enlighten me as to what kind of preplate steps you are talking about?
