Blue chromate and staining

WHAT CAN I USE TO HAVE A BLUE CHROMATE CONVERSION WHEN PLATING AND MOST OF MY PRODUCTS ARE STAINING.

Hi, Dylan. I think you are going to have to invest significantly more effort in explaining your situation before anyone can help :-)

We don't know if you are rack plating or barrel plating, acid plating or alkaline, plating mild steel or something else, and whether you are saying that the staining happens in the blue chromate or you were expecting the blue chromate to conceal the stains. Good luck.

Regards,
