Plug
N' Plate® is a new concept in plating small parts.
Our unique mains power pack supplies just the right
amount of power allowing you to brush, and in some situations,
dip plate your smaller components.
The Plug N' Plate® system will also
allow you to patch repair areas where the original plating
has worn away.
Plug N' Plate® is ideal for vintage
vehicle restorers, antique collectors and dealers, and
small workshops doing prototype work.
What could be simpler? The Plug N' Plate®
wand is attached to the red plug on the Power Pack,
and the alligator clip is attached to the work-piece.
The end of the wand is covered in an absorbent bandage,
which is soaked in the plating solution for a few seconds.
By simply stroking the part with swift
brush strokes, the circuit is closed and the plating
metal bearing solution goes to work, depositing its
beautiful layer onto the object.
Plug N' Plate® is perfect for gold
plating car emblems. Simply strip the chrome off with
Chrome Stripper, then apply the gold. Full instructions
are included.
Plug N' Plate® may be applied onto
most metals. To see which kit plates onto which metal,
read
our instruction booklet. To plate onto Stainless
Steel, use our Stainless Steel Activator first, with
a stainless wand and 4.5V power pack. When gold plating
onto stainless, apply our Stainless
Steel Activator For Gold with a stainless wand and 4.5V power pack,
then you may gold plate directly onto the stainless
part.
We do not recommend plating aluminum
directly with our Plug N' Plate® kits. Use our
Flash Copper Kit with zincate
primer first, then you
may Plug N' Plate® onto the copper. To plate plastic, or other non-conductive parts, spray with Silvaspray, plate with acid copper, then use a Plug N' Plate® kit.

I am a watchmaker in Scottsdale, Arizona and I specialize in restorations of fine antique watches and clocks. I was recently commissioned to restore a one-of-a-kind French clock, Ca. 1860 which was ornamented with hand-made, gilded accents. The original gold was long gone due to improper handling and (Yecch!) Brasso. Because the clock is irreplaceable as are the hand-made accent pieces, I did not feel comfortable in sending them to another state for plating because of the possibility of loss or damage. I bought one of your Plug N' Plate™ kits to see if I could achieve a good finish at my own bench. Your product totally exceeded my expectations! It is easy to use, put down a uniform layer of beautiful 24k gold (after proper cleaning of the pieces of course) and the clock is simply stunning. Your products have opened-up the door to yet another service I can offer my clients. Thank you very much for making such a fine, fun and easy to use product which yields excellent results!
