Pin point plating 

Hello!

I need advice on how to plate particular portions of a flatware[cutlery] handle made of stainless steel. We plate flatware. We export to the U.S.

Now we need to plate portions of our stainless steel flatware with gold color.

For e.g. if there is an embossed flower on the flatware handle, only the flower is to be given the gold color. It seems to be some kind of electrolytic (electrophoretic?...) lacquer.

The rendering should be highly defined.i.e. only the embossed flower should be plated and the surrounding area should be clean. Could u help me.
