Hello, Fadi. If you cannot locate a shop that can do this for you, start with the gold plating chapter of the
Metal Finishing Guidebook, and also look up and read about cleaning cycles and Wood's Nickel Strike in the same book. With that general background under your belt, feel free to ask any specific questions you may have. Thanks.
