Is Electrophoretic coating an alternative to Galvanizing?

2005

I would like to know if it is possible to turn an ordinary steel (not stainless steel) to look like brass or chrome plated with only using the Electrophoretic process. I already knew that this is possible with the galvanizing. I could use this in covering/painting lighting fixtures, because it is far less expensive.

Thank you in advance.
