Is this the same process that is used to gold plate vehicle emblems? Many moons ago when I was a Nissan tech, a guy would show up and electroplate the factory plastic emblems with 24k gold plating. He hooked a cable to ground and then swabbed the emblem with a cloth covered wand that would plate the emblem gold. Was quite popular in the mid 90's and seemed to hold up very well.
