If I want that speckled metal background on my lapel pin, do I pay extra for it?

No, it never costs extra with any plating. A stippled or speckled texture on recessed metal, including a sandblasted finish, is cut into the mold as part of ordinary mold work, so you do not need to draw dots into your own art to avoid a charge.

If a reorder from a mold on file needs that texture removed or changed, you pay a new mold fee for a new mold, because factories do not rework an existing mold’s texture.
