A rotary brush plating apparatus utilizing a porous brush member formed of a hydrophobic material is disclosed. Plating solution is pumped interiorly of rotating, cylindrical brush member and radially outwardly through interconnected pores to its periphery where plating takes place by the passage of parts lengthwise of the brush member in contact with its surface. A continuous circulation of plating solution is provided so that an adequate supply is always provided on the brush surface. Means are provided for recapturing excess solution for return to the reservoir.
