    Although it has been many years since I tried this I do recall that
    it was not successful for me. I think the thickness of the gold layer
    probably has a lot to do with the outcome as the thinnish layer of
    gold seemed to oxidise and become dark before the enamel fused. By all
    means gold plate after the enamelling is completed though, that did
    work well. 

Good luck,
