How to do a matte finish Rhodium plating

We intend to plate matte finish rhodium plating on our part. Could anyone help how to do it.

Hi, Lim. Rhodium plating is usually so thin that I don't think you can texture it. I think you'll probably need to do the sanding, grit blasting, etching, bead blasting (or whatever imparts a texture) before the rhodium plating.
