Features: An attractive appearance is the pursuit of many product designers, manufacturers, and consumers. Electroplating, painting, and corresponding coloring and dyeing techniques are effective means to achieve a colorful appearance for products. With the authors' rich practical experience and theoretical knowledge, this book discusses the methods for achieving bright white, chrome, golden yellow, black (including gunmetal), and other decorative and protective coatings and paints. Introducing plating and painting processes according to product appearance color systems allows technicians to compare and select surface treatment goals and find corresponding process methods, which is one of the features of this book. How to make various decorative coatings and paints is the main question this book aims to answer. The book provides detailed introductions to the technical foundations of electroplating, painting, coloring, and dyeing, as well as the processes, analysis, troubleshooting, and handling of each coating or paint method. Given the importance of pretreatment and post-treatment in surface technology, this book also dedicates chapters to electroplating pretreatment and post-treatment processes. The process combinations and examples of multicolored coatings and paints are one of the distinctive contents of this book. It is hoped that this book will become a valuable guide and companion for engineering technicians and electroplating operators involved in the design and production of electroplating products.
