I came across an article on diy electro-plating while reading Toolmonger today. It features a kit from Caswell that lets you electro-plate small items yourself. The author on Toolmonger used the kit himself to gold plate a Motorola radio. The Caswell page has several how-to’s and an article from MacLife with intructions on how to gold plate your iPod.

Some quick searching shows there are several other companies online offering similar kits. Searching reveals that for best results, everything needs to be super clean.
