This oatey tinning flux paste is what I've used and it works pretty well. Just get a flux brush and spread a thin layer on the metal and heat with a heat gun or a torch. If using a torch I would do it on the side of the metal that isn't being tinned though. If the layer is too thin just add some more and reheat. After the tinning wipe off the extra flux and then I like to shine it up a bit with some 00 steel wool. You can use something like nevr-dull to shine it after that. I've been using the normal but the water soluble would likely be easier to clean up.
