PURPOSE: To obtain accessories having a two-color tone, by ionic-plating the whole surface of a metal such as stainless steel having a baked heat-resistant masking agent on the required parts of the surface and by removing the masking agent with a prescribed liq. remover.

CONSTITUTION: The required parts of the surface of a metal such as stainless steel, "Stellite" or a superhard metal are masked with heat-resistant ink or paint. After baking the masking agent, the whole surface of the metal is ionic- plated. The masking agent is then removed with a liq. remover consisting of a solvent contg. chlorine, an ester solvent, alcohol, formic acid, a nonionic surfactant and paraffin wax. At the same time, the plating on the masking agent is removed.
