Justine,

    I talked to the folks at CIM in Tucson regarding whether I need to
    pen plate with nickel first. Because according to the plating book
    it said I needed to. But, when talking the guy selling and
    representing the Midas Plating system from Rio he said No I should
    be able to just plate directly over the sterling or fine silver and
    he showed me how to do it. 

    Here is another question. You want to enamel over plating? Can we do
    that without burning the plating off? In order to get the warm hues
    of gold I have using gold foil under my enamels and over my fine
    silver.
