The invention relates to a method for selectively electroplating a strip-shaped, metal support material (10) in a continuous process, especially a strip of support material with prepunched contact elements. The inventive method is characterized by the following steps: a) coating with an electrophoretic paint the support material (10) at least selectively with a paint strip in an electrophoretic painting device (14), b) removing the paint on the paint strip by laser (40) in those areas that are to be electroplated, c) applying, by means of selective electroplating, in an electroplating step a metal layer to those areas on the paint strip where the paint has been removed, and d) subsequently removing the at least one paint strip. |
