A. Hi, Manoj Kumar,

I believe that "Micro Plating" is just a trade name like Coca Cola or Windows.

? Do you mean flash gold /Immersion gold? The plated film thickness will be in the order of 0.05 microns.

A. Hi,
Are you looking for a higher thickness in gold by electroplating. The measuring unit of the plated gold thickness is defined either by Micro-meter or Micro-inch. There are several types of micro-gold electroplating solution formulas, they are not the flash gold types definitely. And it depends what is the thickness and gold colors that one wants to obtain from the micro-gold electroplating process.
The conventional gold flash chemicals based plating solution will make you lose a great fortune if you put gold flash on the brass alloys based metals.
And beware of ions/atoms migration between two different metals.

Look for a credited chemical supplier.
