How to: Gold Plating on Chrome Items - Plastic Car Emblem - Kit Demo (NEW) 

Back in the 90's it was HUGE. We sold thousands of our Gold Star Kit and did plating for dealerships all over the USA. It fell off for a decade or two and now it is back and spreading like wildfire. Low-riders, show cars and even regular cars are getting gold packages now. In the show car community is a must-have, in the current trend. We've sold hundreds if not thousands of these kits since it came out 2 years ago and the vast majority of those people are doing automotive plating.

I agree there 🤩

Great! We're glad you liked it :)

Thank you very much! :)

Hey, thanks! We can't wait to do business with you. We'll help you succeed!

@Gold Plating Services do you have a link for some of your equipment. I am trying to do car parts

Thanks!

RBTech I PITY THE NISSAN

I will

No istead they actually buy 24k almost pure gold chains and even covered in diamonds that can cost up to 100000 to 500000 or more dollars

Agreed! After decades of doing this it still is fascinating.

We've been doing it over 25 years and it still hasn't stopped being magical. It really is quite an incredible and fun thing to be able to do. Truly unique and guaranteed to impress. Gold plating can be extremely difficult if you don't have the correct setup and instruction. We have made it as easy as we possibly can for our customers and we share every bit of knowledge we have with them as well. Thanks for watching!

cutlass supreme toy?

We have a lot of customers in Dubai who do very well. Thanks for the comment!

Gold Plating Services Will the gold stick to plastic car emblems? And would you recommend clear coating the parts afterwards to protect from the elements

Hussain Bangash hello DUBAI. HAVE A NICE DAY.!!!

@@GoldPlatingServices what price is the gold plater

@@GoldPlatingServices jalsa.uae@gmail.com

Yes. As long as the item is chrome plated you can plate it. This item is plastic that is chrome plated, and as you can see it works great! Thanks for the question.

Thank you!

You need to comply with local disposal laws and regulations. It varies from area to area. Usually landfill's will take waste. You can collect your waste in large containers and dispose of them all at once.

Lots of people do Daytons, they look great. www.goldplating.com/collections/chrome-plating/products/universal-plater-chrome-edition

Usually if the heat will affect the look of the chrome it will affect the look of the gold plating. Our gold is great on high temperatures (up to about 400 degrees) but the metal beneath the gold may start to corrode.

For this question we think it would be best if you sent us an e-mail with some pictures of the emblems. They may be able to easily be plated with the Universal Plater Kit, but we would like to see them before we say for sure. The e-mail can be found in the text description of the video. ( info(at)goldplating(dot)com ) This particular kit is $999.00 and comes with everything you see in the video. $300 worth of gold plating solution are included as well as the accessory chemicals as well.

There is no need to apply multiple coats. The longer you plate the thicker it gets. You can gold plate directly onto a coin. DO NOT HOME BREW YOUR OWN GOLD SOLUTION! Regardless of videos shown on youtube it is extremely dangerous and the result is far from professional.

Great! Our sales department should be with you as soon as possible. Thanks for your inquiry.

do you know where i can buy one of these machines?

Head on up to the description of the video: "WHERE TO GET KIT" ( gold-plating.com/collections/brush-plating-kits/products/universal-plater-chrome-edition )

Thanks for the good questions: 1- How long the gold plating lasts depends on how thick it is plated, the conditions it is exposed to and how often it is handled. If you apply a thick layer and take good care of it, it can last many years. We have an employees car that has been plated for over 20 years. 2- Gold plating itself does not rust or corrode like many metals do when exposed to moisture. The only thing that can happen is the underlying metal can corrode. We have plated hundreds if not thousands of faucets over the years, it is very common. 3- We are not familiar with electrostatic paint, sorry.

We wish we had time to go to car shows. It's an idea for one of our customers though, buy the kit and go!

We had an ad in a car mag in the 90's. Probably was our Gold Star machine!

We have many customers who are extremely successful. Thanks for the comment!

The thicker you plate it the better it holds up. Its hard to quantify how long it will last in any given situation, but i can tell you that we have had people buy it for that purpose and also to gold plate scooters.

Absolutely! To touch up gold plated items, you need to get it looking as good as you can before starting the 3 step process. Sometimes the gold needs to be removed first, other times you can just plate over it and it looks great. Stainless Steel can easily be plated with this kit as it comes with everything necessary. Here is a video showing how to plate onto stainless steel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R3hvbtwE3Ho.html That knife had been improperly prepared and in that video we show how we replated it properly. Keep in mind, that video was for demonstration purposes and if we were doing it for a customer we would have plated the entire knife.

Fortunately, papertowels do not affect our hard gold plating :)

not even on a micro scale ..? there must .

I personally would dry it with compressed air ,

Nickel Activator (or Surface Activator) is an acidic solution that has no metallic content. It is purely for activation of certain metals. Either an activator or a strike is used when plating onto almost any metal, which one is used depends on the metal being plated onto.

It is truly amazing. The kit does come with everything necessary to gold plate bare steel. Yes, we sell and manufacture everything you see in this video (except the emblem) and sell them on a consistent basis - we have for 30 years now. The gold solution will cover about 1000 square inches of area to a typical decorative thickness. Many people pay off their kit quickly due to the high amount that can be charged and the low cost per square inch to do it.

If you have huge tanks you can, but this is a brush plating kit.

Gold can be chemically stripped, however the result is not a usable plating solution. The gold dissolves back into the stripping solution and although it can be recovered it can only be done by refineries who recover it from that form.

@@GoldPlatingServices do you have a line up of equipment I can buy. I am trying to do car parts

seems the difficulty is to get the chrome plating right. The gold plating comes easy.

The nickel won’t stick to chrome

How long gold plating will last depends on a few variables. 1) How thick the gold is applied. 2) What type of item is it/How will it be handled?The thickness is controlled by how long you plate the item. For instance, if you were to stop plating immediately after the item turns gold, that would be a very thin plate. However, if you spent multiple minutes plating that same area, it would be very thick. The thicker the gold the longer it lasts. Different types of items are handled differently, some a lot and some not at all. If it were a decorative item that is never touched it would stay gold plated indefinitely, could be centuries. If it were something like a Wedding ring that is worn daily, it then depends on how thick the gold is plated. If it were a thin plate it could wear off in a week. If it were very thick, like Vermeil plating (100 micro-inches) it cost last a lifetime. When done properly, gold plating lasts many years if not decades on most items. If it's a thick gold plate, even on an item that is handled properly, it should last many years unless it is purposely removed by abrasive means (polishing etc.)

All of the steps we have shown are very important to the gold adhering properly but also looking correct in the end. If you do not strip the chrome and activate the nickel the gold will not turn out the way it should. We would never include steps that do not have a good purpose.

Unfortunately, no. Chrome plating is a very toxic process that requires baths and special permits to do. Your best bet is to send them to a chrome shop.

If you can send an email with a picture we can give you an idea. info@goldplating.com

Thanks!

If a piece is dull before plating, it will be dull after. If it's shiny before, it will be shiny after. Unfortunately, you are not able to plate onto aluminum on a consumer level. It would need to be nickel plated by a professional plating shop before you can plate it with our products.

Hi Josh, we do ship world wide. Check out our website for more information on our various kits. www.goldplating.com

If the paint is removed and it is made of steel or something similar then it can be done.

A. Kurniawan oo

Alchemy!!!

alchemy

hey you read my mind lol

I came to post "alchemy" was beat by 7 months

Electroplating requires the item to be conductive (metal) or at least have a metal surface. Glass that has gold on it is typically done with a gold glaze.

lmfao thats pretty hilarious
