Retouching sliver plate

A clarinet I'm rebuilding had one key who's silver plating was very thin. I wore through it in a few spots when I buffed it. Does anybody have access to a tank plating system? I wish I could try a plating wand, but it's worn right on a touch piece, and I don't think the new plating would last long.

Most local plating shops (that mostly do motorcycle and car parts) will do silver, gold etc and don't have a problem with small items, so it's worth ringing around.
