Hello Mr. Quzafi. There are at least three different copper plating processes (cyanide, acid, and pyrophosphate), each of which is appropriate for some applications and inappropriate for others. And each of these has variations. And each requires multi-step pretreatment sequences. Plus you probably will need anti-tarnish post-treatments after the plating. You may want to read some good plating books or sit down with a plating consultant, explain what you are trying to do, and have him come up with a plan for you. Good luck.
