Frequently Asked Questions About Gold Plating
Is gold plating expensive? NO! Gold plating is not as expensive as you might think!
How long will the gold last? 24 Karat gold will never corrode. With proper care and under normal conditions, the gold plate will last many years without peeling, fading or chipping.
Is gold difficult to maintain? Gold requires very little maintenance at all. Gold will not tarnish, rust or corrode. Just wash with a gentle solution of soap and water.
What type of material CAN be gold plated? Any chrome, raw steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, some metalisized plastics, to name a few.
How can I tell if a conductive surface is chrome, aluminum, or stainless steel? Most silver colored, metallic (conductive), surfaces encountered in everyday use are either chrome, stainless steel, aluminum, nickel, zinc or silver.
What type of material CANNOT be gold plated? We cannot gold plate non-conductive materials such as glass, plastic, wood, etc. However, if the non-conductive base already has an existing metallic coating, it can sometimes be plated. For example; Many of the chrome/plastic grilles in automobiles can be gold plated.
Does an automobile emblem have to be removed before it can be gold plated? Not usually and the plating solutions will not affect most car finishes.
Why is aluminum so difficult to plate? Aluminum is a very reactive metal that oxodizes within seconds of coming into contact with the air.
Can you create a "two tone" finish? With custom masking techniques we can "two tone" many items with a gold/chrome finish.
Will Gold add a shine to my piece? Gold plating will not change the finish. If the original piece is shinny the finished piece will be shinny Gold.
