Imitation gold platingcoatings
KF-EP300 Gold Effect Paint
KF-EP300 imitation electroplated gold coating uses copper-zinc alloy nano pigments and a transparent protective coating to present precious metal textures such as 24K gold/rose gold/champagne gold. It is widely used for high-end imitation electroplated gold coating on luxury packaging/cosmetic containers/sanitary hardware/trophies and medals.
ProductsOverview
Electroplating-like gold coating is an eco-friendly decorative coating developed by KeXin New Material using special metallic pigments and mirror resin technology. It achieves electroplating-grade metallic mirror effects through spray coating, without the need for electroplating equipment or wastewater treatment.
Strong metallic texture (glossiness up to 98 GU), excellent adhesion, weather and yellowing resistance. Provides an efficient and eco-friendly alternative to electroplating surface decoration for automotive parts, bathroom hardware, home appliance casings, and other industries.
Why choose imitation gold-plating coating?
CoreAdvantages
Nano copper-zinc alloy pigments simulate gold
Nano copper-zinc (Cu-Zn) flake pigments precisely mimic the reflection spectrum of 24K gold (Au). The coating presents a warm golden hue (peak reflection at 570-580nm wavelength) highly consistent with the visual effect of real gold. Compared to traditional iron oxide/titanium dioxide gold-imitation pigments, the gloss and hue are closer to real gold.
24K gold/rose gold/champagne gold multiple color options
Multiple gold color options available, including 24K gold (Au Yellow)/rose gold (Rose Gold)/champagne gold (Champagne Gold)/white gold (White Gold)/18K gold/14K gold, etc. Meeting the gold tone needs of different luxury brands and products.
Luxury packaging-grade appearance quality
Cosmetic powder compacts/lipstick tubes/perfume bottle caps. High-end liquor bottle caps and labels. Trophies/medals/commemorative coins. Watch cases and straps. Pens/lighters/belt buckles. All luxury goods and high-end consumer products requiring electroplating-like gold luxurious texture.
Professional coating technology support services
Kexin has an experienced coatings R&D and applications team that supports the whole process - substrate analysis, coating selection, optimisation of process parameters and on-site application guidance. Our engineers commission the coating parameters on your own production line so that finish quality and output are both optimised.
Eco-compliant green manufacturing system
All products are RoHS/REACH compliant and their VOC content meets national environmental standards. Waterborne and high-solids low-VOC formulations are continuously refined to keep pace with ever stricter environmental requirements. Environmental performance test reports issued by third-party authorities such as SGS and CTI are available on request.
Complete quality control and batch traceability
A quality-control system covering the whole process, from incoming raw materials to finished-goods dispatch. Every batch undergoes rigorous physico-chemical testing and simulated application trials. Batch numbers are traceable end to end, so raw-material sources and production data can be retrieved. Each shipment is released with a batch test report and a product warranty, so customers can use it with confidence.

Frequently AskedFAQ
ApplicationProcess
Surface preparation
Thoroughly clean the substrate surface to remove oil, oxide scale, and mold release agent. Sandblast metal substrates to Sa2.5 grade. Wipe plastic substrates with a specialized cleaner. Sand wood surfaces smooth and repair defects. Remove loose old coatings from existing substrates.
Priming / sealing
Select the appropriate primer or sealer based on the substrate and coating system. The primer enhances topcoat adhesion and seals substrate pores. Strictly mix according to the product ratio and control the film thickness to 10–15 μm. After baking or air drying, inspect the primer for defects before proceeding to the next process.
Topcoat / effect layer application
Apply 2-3 coats of topcoat via precision spraying or manual application. Ensure adequate flash-off between coats and control film thickness to 30-50μm. For artistic effect coatings, use specialized tools such as scrapers, trowels, or sponges to create texture and layering. For metallic flash paint, ensure uniform flash effect in the final coat.
Drying / curing
Bake at the temperature specified by the product requirements or allow to air-dry at room temperature until fully cured. The oven temperature uniformity should be ±5°C, with gradual heating to avoid coating defects. For UV coatings, pass through a UV curing machine at 800-1200 mJ/cm². After curing, allow natural cooling to room temperature before conducting performance testing.
Inspection / protection
After complete curing, test gloss/adhesion/hardness/color difference/chemical resistance. For artistic coatings, check the consistency of texture effects. Once all pass, protect with dust-free materials, package, and ship. Attach batch inspection report and quality certificate.
