Our Smoky Nickel Brush Plating Solution plates quickly on a range of metal surfaces such as copper, brass and stainless steel.

Like all nickel coatings, Smoky Nickel is as allergenic as normal nickel. This means you should not use it for things like jewellery. where there is skin contact.

For outside use, you should plate our Smoky Nickel on to a thick undercoat of normal nickel. You should then seal the surface with sealing lacquer.

It is possible to gold plate directly over a smoky nickel layer.

 

Here is the smoky nickel plated on to a scratched stainless steel surface.

Our brush plating equipment is powered by our EasyPlater. It’s very straightforward to use, compact and lightweight.
