You could do gold "leafing" at home but most likely not gold elecroplating. Unless you plan to do a lot of plating, the equipment and chemicals required to electroplate would be cost prohibitive. Leafing on the other hand is easily mastered and done using common adhesives and gold leaf which are both available at any craft store.
