Hey there! Just got my pins the other day, I'm crazy about em- got to admit I was slightly concerned about the soft enamel, but the epoxy coating on them with the screenprinting over that? Chef's kiss. I was actually wondering if I could inquire about a particular aspect of the pin design- not asking for a manufacturer or anything, but I can see that the metal of the pin is colored, are they like, plated with a special color metal?? Not certain how pin metal plating works, but when designing my own pins I've always only seen metal coated with, I guess more enamel that results in more of a matte appearance. I just wanted to know exactly what's been done and what its called! Of course, if you'd rather not divulge your design details I completely understand as well and you're not obligated to! I absolutely love the end result of the project and I'm super happy to have these pins :) (also the packaging for the blind bag pins is amazing lol)
