Epoxy paint and Electroless nickel

[MrRage]

I want to nickel plate some parts that are going to have a section of them epoxy painted. If I submersing the part would the painted sections of this part be plated as well? It?s my understanding that painting it will mask it off, but I wanted to double check.

The epoxy paint should mask it well, I can't say for sure if the finish and color of the paint would be uneffected. Test it on a scrap piece first, you may have to put a top coat of paint on after plating.
