Default high resistance plating

Hi Brendan

Have you tried PCB manufactures? they plate through holes in non conductive
boards all the time
your task should be easy.

I'm looking for a company who specializes in plating copper onto high
resistance conductors. The material I want to plate has about 100 ohms
across a strip about 2 inches long. Does anyone have recommendations?

Thanks,
Brendan

Not a problem. Just keep the current low until you have a "flash" of
copper. Once flashed, it'll plate like a piece of metal.

You could also flash it with electroless tin, but I don't think it'll
be necessary.

If you want to have it done, look for a place that plates flowers and
baby shoes. One hit from Google:
