Martin and Robert,
Here is a link for the Co. I bought my brush plating kit from [url=http://www.goldn.com.au/]
I am in Australia, and they also have the main branch in the UK. Not sure about the US, but just do a search on the net for brush plating kits and I am sure you will find some.
I have probably spent about $500 AUD on an economy kit, electrodes, and silver/gold solutions. I think this is reasonable when doing a bit of plating etc. The solutions go a fair way, and yes Martin this method is as good if not better than traditional electroplating with it's durability. The best thing about it is that it gives you more control over where you want the plating, and is great for small intricate pieces.I also replated the gold designs on my phalarae with the plating pen....basically a pen with a swab at the end for applying the soloution.
You can also plate with tin,tin zinc,nickel,bronze,copper and chrome plating.
