Gold plated là gì

Thanks for the great question! We would love to assist you in any way with your project. We are in the process of getting the new site finished, so if you have any questions or issues with navigating or using our website please let us know.

Thank you! We're glad you think so, we think so too! :)

Thank you! We're glad you liked it. We're working on another video on this topic at the moment, so make sure you subscribe and check it out when it's done.

I’m wondering this too.Please let us know

We're happy to help! You absolutely can apply gold over nickel, it is very common. For plating basic metals (nickel, brass, bronze, copper, silver, etc.) you typically pretreat them all the same way: Electroclean, Activate, Plate. The metals that are special case scenarios are Steel/Stainless Steel and Chrome plated items. Steel/Stainless Steel need to be Electrocleaned, Woods Nickel Strike'd and Plated. Chrome items need to be plated as shown in this video (Stripped, activated, plated). The only time you use a nickel bit is if you're using a nickel based solution, such as Bright Nickel or Woods Nickel Strike. You may find this video useful regarding plating onto nickel: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9GkhsmilbKonas.html

If you are careful to stay within the voltage guidelines of the equipment you should not have any burn spots. However. if it were to happen it is easy to fix. Simply take a mixture of baking soda and water and make a paste. With a soft cloth gently buff it out. If you get faded gold spots, just clean the surface thoroughly, activate it, rinse it and gold plate it again.

Temperature definitely can affect some solutions, however it does depend on what temperature and what solution. Typically unless you intentionally heat the solution or intentionally heat the item being plated it should not be an issue.

You can plate onto chrome guns, nickel guns, stainless steel guns and regular steel guns. Guns that are blued or coated with anything need to have the coating removed prior to plating. Once down to the bare steel, you can easily plate onto the steel the same way as you plate onto stainless steel. Here is a video showing how we did just that on an AK-47 safety, made of steel: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbRydpNk19eXYZ8.html

It can do everything the standard universal plater kit can do, as well as plate onto chrome items.

Many cables have gold plated connection points. So do Printed Circuit Boards in computers.

You can reuse the solution until it is gone. The sleeves can be used until they are destroyed or you feel need changing. Eventually they will wear a hole through or get deformed. Sleeves are only about $1.50 each.

Haha! That's a good one.

Then you will never see them again, because they'll get nicked in no time.

Typically you have to polish off all the existing gold prior to replating. However, sometimes you can get away with just plating over it. It's worth a try to do a small area, usually the worst spot, just to see how it looks - if it looks good, plate it. If it doesn't look good, you polish it and plate.

Metals that have rust or corrosion need to be polished to get it down to the bare metal before you plate. Gold plating will only look as good as the surface looks before plating - if its dull before plating it will be dull after, if its shiny before plating it will be shiny after. The kit will plate onto steel with no issue as long as you use Woods Nickel Strike as your second step instead of Surface Activator (This is all included in the kit). To remove chrome you just use the chrome stripping solution. To remove rust you have to polish it off. You can then activate the nickel and gold plate the piece. There is no need to copper plate onto nickel, which nickel is under every chrome plating job. We have lots of customers who restore guitar parts.

Unfortunately they are entirely different solutions. Bright Nickel applies a decorative bright nickel plate. Woods Nickel Strike does not produce a "plate" but instead was designed to allow you to apply a final "plate" and have it adhere to steel/stainless substrates, such as gold on stainless steel. They are not even remotely similar except for they both contain nickel. All other ingredients, pH and purpose are different. No worries, this is a craft and an art - you will spend your entire life learning! It's just like any other skill, there are levels of mastery and always room to learn more. Please let us know if you have any questions, we're here to help!

It sure can! Pretty much any electroplating (brush) solutions will work with this kit.

You would plate a steel gun slide the same way you would plate any piece of steel. You would first Electroclean, then Woods Nickel Strike, then gold plate. See our video here for plating onto steel gun parts: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbRydpNk19eXYZ8.html We also have other videos showing how. If you have any questions or concerns please e-mail us at info@goldplating.com we'll be happy to assist!

All you need is plain water and a microfiber cloth to clean anything gold plated.

you can reuse them for a little bit and they would have to go on the same anode and in the same chemical they were used in. You can find the price of them on our website if you ever need more.

All types of steel are done a specific way. We have a few videos showing how to do it with the Universal Plater Kit. You have to first Electroclean, then Woods Nickel Strike, then Gold plate. If you skip any of the steps it will not bond correctly or look good.

We do. We offer a whole range of plating services. Visit our website www.goldplating.com to see our list of services.

Brass is a highly platable substrate. For plating onto brass you follow the "basic" plating process of the standard Universal Plater Kit. This basic process is: Electroclean, Surface Activator, Gold. Some people choose to apply a layer of nickel prior to gold plating, as it serves as a "diffusion barrier". As you probably know, brass quickly corrodes when exposed to oxygen or other things especially sweat (which contains salt). A layer of nickel will protect that brass from ever corroding , even if the gold plating wears thin. In this situation, you would do the same thing: Electroclean, Activate, Nickel plate, then Gold plate.

Thanks for watching! Will only work on metal surfaces. So if it's plastic, it would need to be chrome plated first.

Will the machine Crome plate plastic?

DURABILITY: It's has hard as gold plating can possibly be. The thicker (longer) you plate it, the longer the plating will last. If it is taken care of and not polished, it should lost many many years if done properly. TIME PLATED: Most automotive platers spend about as much time as we did on this wrench. Check out our other videos that show plating emblems to get a better idea. If you're concerned about longevity, plate it longer. However, this is not a common problem. The only way they're going to come back a month later saying it wore off is if they polished it off or you just tinted it gold (stopped after seconds of gold plating). STRIPPING CHROME: A lot of times people see chrome plating bubbling and think it was painted, however that is due to incorrect chrome plating. Underneath every chrome plated layer, there is a layer of nickel (across the board). This means it can be easily plated once you strip the chrome. In the event that you did get down to plastic, somehow, it would not be platable. We're happy to answer any and all questions before and after you order. Thanks for the great questions!

Gold Plating Services thanks for the ridiculously fast reply. Sounds great I will be ordering a kit very soon ! One more question though if you don't mind , how would you go about gold plating things that aren't chrome ? Would you plate it in nickel then gold ? Do you sell a kit for that ?

You're welcome! If you need to nickel plate something prior to gold plating purely depends on the situation. Typically, nickel is commonly used as a "diffusion barrier" between a more reactive substrate, (such as copper or brass), and the gold plating. Gold plating is porous, especially if it is thin, and the copper or brass can still corrode underneath the gold unless you either plate it thick or nickel plate before gold plating. If the item is stainless steel, this is not necessary as stainless steel does not have issues with corroding typically. If you do determine you need a nickel underplate, this kit will perform the nickel plating. You would just need to get some Bright Nickel Plating Solution along with your kit. Here is a link to that solution: www.goldplating.com/collections/nickel-solution/products/bright-nickel-plate-solution

Gold Plating Services I see! Thanks for the answers and quick replies .

Of course. Each customers success is very important to us. We like when customers fully understand what they're buying.

Yes, this kit has plenty of power to plate 32" rims. We have many clients who do this. It requires patience and a little practice, but its done exactly the same way this wrench or an emblem is. You do wheels in sections.

Yes

It is pretty fun to have gold plated tools and other items. Once you have a kit, you see how many things around you can be plated and it only costs a few dollars to do per item once you have the supplies.

Lambo owners have mechanics not toolkits

That's a very good point hahaha 2 grand oil changes

that would be foolish,how long before it wares off on tools you use?

This seems like something a Lambo owner could afford to do to his tools

There is a way that you can plate directly onto the Chrome, (by using completely different chemicals), however the gold plating quickly degrades within a year or so. Plus, there is zero benefits and it does not look better. The proper way to do it is as shown in this video. In fact, it is our opinion that gold platers who started plating directly onto chrome, (back in the late 90's) is part of what killed the automotive gold plating industry. Gold Plating on cars gained a bad reputation because peoples gold packages were looking horrible within a year or so. If done this way, it can last decades if properly taken care of.

@@GoldPlatingServices Nice info, thanks.

The ProLab CM is our best plating kit for plating onto firearms. Rifle plating is extremely difficult and it is highly advised to have a professional plating company plate larger parts with Nickel, which can then be gold plating using the Universal Plater Kit.
