Copper Wash Finish, Finally Got it

[do_the_fandango]

Would anyone here know which steels this process works on? From what I understand the process doesn't work well with 154cm... anyone know if this would work on CPM20CV?

Stainless steels are difficult to plate. Using an acid wash right before electroplating helps.
