The invention relates to an electroplating process for an automobile central controller. The electroplating process comprises the steps of pretreatment, nickel preplating, copper replacement, acid copper plating, semi-finished nickel plating, pearl nickel plating, nickel sealing, chromium plating and drying. In addition, acid activation treatment is added before both the steps of semi-finished nickel plating and chromium plating, and acid pickling is added before the step of pearl nickel plating. Meanwhile, an F90R color scheme is selected and used as the color scheme of pearl nickel, and the pearl nickel is formed by mixing K5 with the concentration being 0.06 ml/L and K6Al with the concentration being 0.4 ml/L. The electroplating process for the automobile central controller has the advantages that mixed liquid of copper and sulfuric acid is adopted for copper replacement, so that cleanliness and flatness of the surface of a to-be-plated product are improved; in addition, an acid pickling procedure or an acidification procedure is added before all the plating steps, thus binding force between coatings can be improved, and separation between the coatings is reduced; meanwhile, specific to the A10 automobile central controller, the pearl nickel of the F90R color scheme is selected and used; and in the pearl nickel plating process, the concentration requirements of the F90R color scheme always needs to be kept, and thus the color of the product is uniform.
