Electrophoretic lacquer as gold plate alternative

2004

Hi,

I have a question regarding gold electrophoretic lacquer. Can someone tell me whether or not this is something I could do at home? And if so, where would I get the chemicals, equipment, and instructions for such a thing. I can already do gold plating at home, but I'm looking for a cheaper alternative for gold plating. If someone has a better suggestion to achieve a gold "mirror like" finish, I would appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks.
