Gold plating means when you are Adding extra feature in
your product to delight your customer (a kind of surprise).
Gold plating is not a bargain. It can increase operation and
maintenance costs and reduce quality. Gold plating in
software engineering refers to continuing to work on a
project or task well past the point where the extra effort is
worth the value it adds (if any). After having met the
requirements, the developer works on further enhancing the
product, thinking the customer would be delighted to see
additional or more polished features, rather than what was
asked for or expected. The customer might be disappointed
in the results, and the extra effort by the developer might be
futile.

gold plating generally is to give extra unpaind service and it's may be bad for the customer
it means fine tuning to your job and i also agree with Mr. Mahmoud Saleh in his answer
Gold Plating - Similar to scope and feature creep, It can increase operation and maintenance costs and reduce quality.
Gold plating is giving the customers extras ( could be in terms of better performance of the product, extra scope, extra functionality or higher-quality components) This entails to meeting and exceeding customers expectations. Usually Gold Plating is Individual / team's impression of what is valued by the customer, and the customer might not agree. It is a problem because very few projects provide what the customer wants. Most of the projects have difficulty meeting the project objectives hence all available effort should go into achieving those objectives rather than Gold Plating.
Totally agree with Mr. Mohmoud hassan
