tinplated
Given metallic coating
Tinplated describes something coated with a thin layer of tin, typically steel or iron sheets used for cans and containers.
The tin coating prevents rust and corrosion.
Tinplated steel is standard for food packaging.
Figuratively, tinplated can suggest something cheap or superficially shiny—more appearance than substance.
