Hi, MJ. You should see if your school or town library can find some books on this for you:

Gold Plating Technology by Reid & Goldie would be a great one. But you should be able to find a good introductory chapter in most plating texts like the Metal Finishing Guidebook or the Electroplating Engineering Handbook [on AbeBooks or eBay or Amazon affil links] .
