It still comes down to the flatness of the surface you are plating. All electroplating will do is apply a relatively uniform thickness of material "X" over material "Y". If material "X" isn't flat, the finished product will not be flat either (although the Ra roughness may be better in the finished product).
Electroplating is also not something for the DIYer. Possible sure, recommended, nah. Some of the chemicals required (for a really nice job) are regulated and require hazardous waste disposal procedures. This is truly one area best left to the professionals.
