Questions about electroplating with gold for magnets
I was wondering if any one has tried to coat a TiN magnet I am looking at coating a SMM tin magnet with gold and then using FDA16 or FDA2T for extra layers. I am unsure if gold with electroplating would work and if those would not work would one be able to brush coat or pen coat.
Any help is appreciated.

from previous post etc, gold does not work, as just general issues with body rejection
Gold is bio-inert; however, I've heard of it wearing off. I was also planning on coating my SMMs and passed it over with the community but now I've been thinking that a gold and rhodium plating may be better.
So in a related question, has rhodium plating been implanted by anybody in the community?
@cassox TiN is highly conductive so I may pull out my old bench psu and get some gold plating solution to try coating a couple at different voltages to see if I can get it to work at all. I just ordered a steve haworth magnet but I am a little worried that it won't give me the best results because it has been autoclaved
@Cassox If I were to try and plate them should I try to avoid Acid-Based solutions?
@cassox Was there a reason people were saying that they weren't as strong as the m31 or was it just that they thickens of the coating was dampening the feeling?
I didn't make this clear sorry I was trying to plate the SMM magnets I already have to do some testing. I do bouldering and some others I do it want magnets and I am trying to find through testing on myself (starting with the haworth magnet) what one interferes the least with climbing and hold up the best
