Gold Plating Brass

What does it take to gold plate brass? I recently took a tour of a metal plating facility and documented the steps to gold plate the brass dice that I made. I had no idea cyanide was required for many steps in this process?! Fascinating to watch!

Very cool but I can't afford this setup. I'm just trying to make these brass screws shinier. I already clean, and polished them. Is there a lacquer or finish you'd recommend to make brass shinier and similar to gold plated.

Love your videos! How much would something like that cost?

Hi, can you share the name of the place in LA where they conducted the gold plating? Thanks!

Leif_Maginnis,

Is there a difference in color between a gold plated brass and gold plated bronze? Or would they look the same since it’s gold plated?

[@treich1234]

Why is brass plated with copper then nickel before the gold plating? What is the rational for this sequence?

[@customcopperhoods7502]

Are they plated with real Gold?

Hi good morning.

So it’ll eventually fade

That's gold effect but not real gold.
