24 carat gold colour

Sir,
I am in manufacturing of gold ornaments. We are producing ornaments of various carats. I want to know how and by using what chemicals(colour) can I get a finish and colour of 24 carat gold on the ornaments. It is only for finishing purpose and display.

Dear Chowdhary,
There are manufacturers of 24Kt gold flash electroplating chemicals manufacturers who may be able to guide you to achieve the colour you want. I am sure there are suppliers in your city.

The other process used is electrophoretic lacquer will a gold dye. This is done either after nickel plating or after silver plating depending upon what the customer is willing to pay for.

The quality is certainly not the same as flash gold.

Electrophoretic clear lacquer is also done top of flash gold to increase its life.
