Achieve stunning 24kt gold finishes in 3 easy steps! Gold Effects systems are high tech; but totally user-friendly. Absolutely no technical or mechanical skill is required – if you’ve ever used a paintbrush, you can operate a Gold Effects system.

The entire process is completed in a matter of minutes, using a simple three-step process:

  1. Remove existing chrome from the work piece
  2. Activate the nickel base layer
  3. Apply the 24kt gold solution

Gold Effects’ water-based solutions are specially formulated to only react to conductive metal surfaces – they will not harm automotive paint or any surrounding materials. Featuring advanced self-regulating electronics, our systems automatically adjust to your work piece size for professional results every single time!

3 Steps to Extraordinary!


STEP 1: CHROME STRIP

It is first necessary to strip the existing chrome from the work piece. The characteristic bright yellow color appears on the cotton sleeve as the chrome layer is removed from the surface.

STEP 2: ACTIVATOR

Once the chrome is removed, a bright nickel layer is exposed underneath. Using the clear activator solution, the nickel is “activated” and ready to receive the 24kt gold deposit.

STEP 3: GOLD PLATING

The 24kt gold layer is deposited using the purple-colored solution. Real gold atoms are drawn from the solution and electronically bonded to the activated nickel surface. More gold is deposited with each pass of the sleeve.
