I don't know about rhodium, but some of the exotic metal plating is actually vapor deposition, and is extremely thin, like on the order of .0001" or less, so it would take very little metal to actually plate a gun. Compared to gold electroplating, which goes on about .001-.002" thick, you are talking about very minimal metal cost. Of course, equipment costs for the process may be high.
