Coloring a Metal Surface
By Bob Caletti

I would like to ask the MMD readers if they know where I can get
a product that will dye steel blue.  The compounds that blue parts
produce a very dark gray appearance, not a true blue.

 [ A very thin (transparent) layer of electro-plated copper or nickel
 [ on the steel surface might enable coloring with a metal-complex dye;
