Shiny Color Plating

and Colored Metallic Plating

Shiny color plating is sometimes called electrocoating or chrome color plating. The factory name is electrophoresis plating. A silver or nickel base goes on first. Then a colored metallic plating layer is applied. Those two bases are the only way to get the shiny colors on the charts below.

925 silver base is brighter and costs more. Nickel base is a little darker. This finish works best on pieces that can take a hanging wire: pins, medals, and wine charms. Coins depend on the design. Ask before you order a coin in this finish.

Final color varies from batch to batch. Chemical mix and exposure time change the hue. Colors will be close to the charts, not an exact match. Plan for that when you order. This plating cannot be combined with dual plating. 100 piece minimum. Add-on only.

Shiny Color Plating Questions

What is shiny color plating?

Electrophoresis plating: silver or nickel base, then a colored metallic layer. That is how the chrome-like colors on this page are made.

Silver base or nickel base for colored metallic plating?

Silver is brighter and costs more. Nickel is a little darker. Both use the same color layer. Pick from the matching chart.

Will my shiny color plating match the chart exactly?

No. Batch-to-batch hue shift is normal. Treat the chart as close, not a PMS match.

Can I use this with dual plating or hard enamel?

Dual plating is not available with this finish. Hard enamel is not a fit. See pin plating options for standard finishes.

What is the minimum for shiny color plating?

100 pieces. Sold as an add-on on pins, medals, and wine charms. Coins depend on the design.
