Electroplating should be the best-known <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gs-jj.com\/lapel-pins\/Custom-Lapel-Pins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lapel pins<\/a><\/strong> protection process. There&#8217;s actually another way, which is spraying. Electroplating (covering a layer of other metals), spraying (whole product is sprayed with a layer of paint, and the coverage area is the same as electroplating). Now let me show you the difference.<\/p>\n<p>Electroplating: \u00a0Electroplating is a process that a metal coating is added to the surface of a carrier, such as gold, silver, copper, nickel, and other metallic materials. Through the movement of atoms, metals join with metals. Electroplating can prevent metal oxidation, improve wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic enhancement. To the lapel pins, different electroplating on the pins protection is the same, and the main difference is its aesthetic impact.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Advantages:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>1. Good uniformity and strong binding force of the coating<\/p>\n<p>2.Wear resistance and corrosion resistance<\/p>\n<p>3. A beautiful metallic appearance<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Suitable for custom pins:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li>\u00a0Shiny platings: gold, silver, copper, nickel, black nickel, etc. This kind of electroplating is suitable for Soft Enamel Pins, Hard Enamel Pins, and Die struck pins with sandblasting.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Antique Platings: Antique brass, Antique Gold, Antique Copper, Antique nickel. This kind of electroplating suits to lapel pins with the old appearance. For example, Antique pins and\u00a03D or Cutout Pins.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12059 size-full\" title=\"Electroplating\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gs-jj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Suitable-for-custom-pins.jpg\" alt=\"Electroplating\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Spraying:\u00a0 Spraying is used as the air pressure of spray guns that disperses liquid paint into uniform and fine droplets and then covering on the surface of the carrier. The spraying on the enamel pins is to spray different colors of paint on the metal surface. The paint is attached to the pins, and the binding force is weaker than the electroplating. (electroplating: the combination of metal and metal).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Advantages:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>1. You can choose any color other than metal color at will.<\/p>\n<p>2. The price is the same as metal electroplating lapel pins<\/p>\n<p>3.

And the soft enamel pins that can use spray paint craft is, add electroplating layer or coating first, after on enamel color, and then complete already, need not polish. For example: if hard enamel pins are spraying black paint(dye black finish) before filled enamel color, then the black paint will wear off after polishing. If you fill enamel color and polish first and then spray black paint, the filled enamel color will also be covered with a layer of black paint. It will cause the whole lapel pins to be black.<\/p>\n<p>Suggestion:<\/p>\n<p>If you want the dye black effect of your custom pins, you can choose the black nickel plating.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12063 size-full\" title=\"Electroplating VS Spraying\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gs-jj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Electroplating-VS-Spraying.jpg\" alt=\"Electroplating VS Spraying\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After reading above, how about doing a quiz to consolidate the knowledge you&#8217;ve learned?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the or False?<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Is there only one kind of plating process for the protection of the lapel pins?<\/li>\n<li>Can the soft enamel pins use the Spraying process?<\/li>\n<li>Can the hard enamel pins use the Spraying process?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Surely you can answer these three questions correctly?
