Used as a brilliant substitute for rhodium but at a fraction of the cost, platinum is being used frequently for plating white gold jewellery - take a look at the composite photograph above which demonstrates how little difference there is between a ring plated in rhodium and a ring plated in platinum. This platinum solution can be plated directly over gold or white gold surfaces and gives great results.
Our G.S.P Platinum Plating Solution contains 5 grams of platinum per litre and produces a finish almost as white as rhodium and is very hard-wearing. It can be brush and tank plated, is most used by jewellers, and gives a very luxurious finish. If plating over metals other than gold or white gold, we recommend beginning with a flash-plate in our 24K Gold solution and the use of our G.S.P Brush Plating Probes or 316 Stainless Steel Flat Tank Plating Anodes for optimum performance.
Please note: this solution cannot be used in conjunction with any of the kits in our G.S.P Portal range and is not suitable for pen plating.

Overview of use
Instructions for use of:

Pen plating:
N/A
Brush plating:

Additional notes:
Just like rhodium, platinum requires a very highly polished substrate to look brilliant white. May require post-polishing to remove dark marks from higher current. We recommend the use of G.S.P Compound Polish mixed with G.S.P Gold Polish in a ratio of 1:1 for removing dark marks from plated platinum.
