In order for silver to adhere to gold, or any other metal, it has to be rubbed in slowly. Silver plating is sold as a paste and it is used like a tarnish remover by rubbing and buffing several coats in until the desired color and sheen is achieved. The plating can be removed with a high quality gold cleaner and it will wear off fairly quickly.
