Can artist have a stainless steel pot silver plated?

Hello,
I making a art project and need to use some stainless steel pots. I would like to have the finished look having silver on it. Can I then use the stainless steel pot and have it electroplated?

Hi, Scott. Plating onto stainless steel requires an extra activation step that not all plating shops are equipped to do or are comfortable doing, but there are shops who will do this for you. Good luck.
