11. Q: How can the process be performed right on the car without hurting the paint?

A: The Gold Effects' water based solutions have been specially formulated not to harm automotive paint. The solutions only react to conductive surfaces. The paint on the car is non-conductive and therefore is unaffected by the plating process.
