We can't write new textbooks in response to internet queries, Sooraj, we only point out existing ones. Coombs' classic "Printed Circuits Handbook" [link is to info about the book at Amazon] may be what you want. But I'm not clear on the question. Why do you intend to plate lead on the board, and where (on the traces, as an etch resist for work in process). You do know that lead-free is the current standard? Good luck.
