Brush Plating

Here is a brief overview of the brush plating process:

Step 1: Clean / polish the item to be plated.

 

Step 2: If the item is chrome plated, strip the chrome with G.S.P Chrome Stripper which takes between 1-15 minutes and then rinse. If the item is nickel or stainless steel, brush over with the appropriate activator for a few seconds and then rinse.

 

Step 3: Brush the gold or other metal solution of your choice over and over, building up thickness as you go. Do this for between 2-20 minutes depending on the size of the item and then rinse / dry.

 

Step 4: Rub G.S.P Gold Polish over the item and then wipe off to bring out the final shine.

 

Please note: You do not always apply precious metals directly over the original substrate, it depends on what that metal is.

 

Examples include - copper would need to be plated with G.S.P Nickel Plating Solution first, this would be followed by using G.S.P Nickel Activator, then the piece could be gold plated.

 

Brass would be plated with G.S.P Copper Strike, then with G.S.P Nickel Plating Solution, followed by G.S.P Nickel Activator and the piece could then be gold-plated.
