I ordered a relatively inexpensive tin plating kit from Eastman. It arrived today. First attempt results. On the left is the capacitor can, center is an untouched shield, and on the right a replated shield that looked like the center one. First, the pieces were bead blasted to remove rust. Next, they were rubbed out with 0000 steel wool. Then washed in dish soap before actually plating them in the plating solution. Finally, they were rubbed out again with 0000 steel wool and polished with Autosol metal polish (part of the kit.) Not bad!
