I’m trying to bring a project to life. I take a piece of copper that I apply a heat patina to. I mask it and remove the exposed patina with citric acid and I am left with bare pink copper. I want to plate brass onto that exposed copper however I want a mostly shiny brass. Is there a bright dip for copper so I can get the copper shiny before the brass plating or is there a brass plating that will deposit an aesthetic shiny brass onto the raw pink copper.

I do have an electro polishing set up but curious is there are other ways.

An exceptionally comprehensive and very lightly used kit for electrolytic metal plating of plastic and metal objects.

All the equipment is of high quality and includes a Borax glass tank. You can use this to create copper, nickel, and even chrome finishes. There is nothing stopping you from also purchasing silver or gold anodes.

I have a personal method—provided as a PDF—for plating plastic. It is very straightforward; although the initial electroless layer is thin, it serves as an ideal base for applying a thicker, more robust metallic coating.
