Metal Finishing Shop Serving Pico Rivera

An industrial city with a rodeo arena.

Pico Rivera sits between the San Gabriel River and the Rio Hondo, next to the open space of Whittier Narrows. It once had a major auto assembly plant, and manufacturing still fills its industrial areas. The Pico Rivera Sports Arena hosts rodeos and concerts, and neighborhoods of postwar homes line the streets in between.

Pico Rivera customers mail us their parts. We price the job from photos, you ship by ground, and the box is normally with us a day later. Every part is stripped, plated or coated and checked before it heads back to you insured.

Factories along the rivers send formed and machined parts by the bin. Event and rodeo businesses send buckles, trophies and arena hardware. Restaurants send rails and kitchen trim, and families send faucets, door sets and wrought iron from their homes.

What We Do

Plating Services in Pico Rivera

Pico Rivera usually asks for chrome plating, nickel plating and powder coating, plus silver plating and gold 24k plating on show pieces.

Chrome, Nickel and Brass Plating in Pico Rivera

Factory floors, arena nights and family porches.

Rodeo and event work makes Pico Rivera different from its neighbors. Buckles, trophies, conchos and decorative tack come to us for bright silver, gold or nickel, and they need to shine under arena lights. We plate them carefully and keep fine engraving crisp.

The rest of the city keeps us busy in a more practical way. Industrial shops send parts for chrome, nickel or powder coat. Homes from the 1950s have wrought iron gates and window guards that our refurbishing work brings back, and solid faucets worth replating.

    Yes. We strip worn plating, polish carefully around engraving, and plate bright, satin or antique silver. Gold accents can be added on a nickel barrier. Fine engraving stays sharp because we polish by hand instead of with heavy machines.

    Heavy polishing can soften engraving, which is why we work by hand and go lightly on raised areas. If a piece is very worn, we tell you what to expect before we start, so there are no surprises.

    They do. Bag parts by number, include a packing list and tell us the finish. Runs from a few dozen to thousands are normal, and repeat orders are matched to the first approved batch.

    Yes. We strip rust and old paint, straighten bars, fill pits and powder coat them in the color you choose. Large gates usually travel by freight, so send measurements before shipping.

    Polished. Stainless doesn't need plating, and hand polishing brings it back to a bright or satin finish quickly while keeping the original metal.

    The shop is open Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM and Saturday from 9 AM to 2 PM. We're closed on Sunday. Shipments are received Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM Pacific.

    Usually, yes. Send a photo of the piece you want to match, or ship it along with your parts as a sample. We adjust the finish until the new work sits right next to the old.

    When the work is done and inspected, we pack your parts in fresh materials and ship them back insured. If you're close to Oceanside, you're welcome to pick them up instead.
