I would say that when you’re plating your parts, you want them to be as clean as possible. Fortunately, a plating line will have a pre-cleaning step in it where it’s going through a series of dip tanks, and it will include a cleaning stage. This typically should be enough to remove the corrosion inhibitors, but you cannot plate directly. You would want to remove them, and you would need your surface as clean as possible to get as even of a plate as possible.
