Seeking brass paint instead of brass electroplating?

We are producing lamps for mirrors in Poland and I'm looking for brass-looking paint to replace brass electroplating. Can you help me? Who is producing such paints? I've tried Google to find anything but it didn't help.

Hello, Leszek. I think your two options are:

the new generation "chrome-look paint" as shown in the banner ad above. These rely on small flakes of aluminum which lay down very smoothly into a reflective layer, or

a brass-toned electrophoretic lacquer on top of nickel plating. I know that Atotech offered that brass colored electrophoretic lacquer at one point but I don't know whether or not they do currently. .

Good luck.
