Disclosed is a method for the plating of a substrate with a composite coating bearing a metallic matrix with finely divided particulate matter dispersed therein. The plating bath is derived by the admixing of a prestabilized particulate matter composition or a precursor thereof along with the required plating chemicals. The use of a prestabilized particulate matter composition offers a convenient way of shipping treated powders devoid of liquids and thereby minimizing shipping costs and aging effects commonly associated with liquid dispersions. The use of the novel prestabilized particulate matter composition along with the plating chemistry provides results substantially the same as those observed from freshly prepared liquid dispersions and their incorporation along with the plating chemicals.
