I think the "electroplating" was just the silver, then they paint transparent colors on top of that. They don't electroplate the colors.

That's how I painted my 1:1 scale Cap Shield anyways.....and that's about 98% movie accurate.

The shield on this should have no problems as it's regular paint, nothing fancy.
 
Autumn day seems like a good time to take Cap outside for a pic. He's sitting on a re-painted and weathered GI Joe Harley Liberator:

Thanks. This is before I modified the bike.

The Tommy gun holster was way too big so I cut it to be more accurate to the real deal. The whole bike was repainted to a more accurate army olive drab and re-decaled. I worked on the side bags to give them a better leather appearance and cut down the straps. Then I weathered and sanded on it to give it some dirt and miles. A few more tweaks here and there. It's not movie accurate, but it looks pretty good on the shelf.

Cap has a bit of dark wash on the pants, helmet and I added some oily grime to the goggles, weathered the jacket slightly and added some wear and tear to the shield. The shield has since then had the arm straps removed and a tiny bra hook glued so it will hang on his back where the straps criss-cross. I have some very tiny rare earth magnets I'll use to reattach the arm straps so they can snap on/off.

Been waiting to get this guy for a while, finally saw it in person today and snagged it, real pain in the a putting the gear together but my favourite version of the cap.

When i first got mine, i was astounded that it all had to be put on by hand. And some stuff isn't easy to locate, lol.
But it looks great with it all on.
