Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.
View in San JacintoOur metal plating serves San Jacinto ranch and dairy owners, downtown businesses, contractors and homeowners who mail their parts to our Oceanside shop. Equipment, gate hardware, fixtures and home pieces return refinished and insured.
An old valley town at the foot of the mountains.
San Jacinto is one of the oldest towns in Riverside County, set against the San Jacinto Mountains on the north side of the valley it shares with Hemet. Its downtown along Main Street has historic buildings, and dairies and farms still work the land around it. Resort and casino properties sit in the nearby foothills, and the summers run hot.
Boxes leave the north end of the valley and are normally on our bench a day later. Send photos for a written quote. We strip, coat or plate each piece, inspect it, and ship the finished order back insured.
Dairies and farms send equipment brackets, gate latches and stanchion hardware. Downtown businesses send signs and storefront hardware. Hospitality properties send fixtures, and homeowners send porch lights, faucets and patio pieces.
San Jacinto relies on powder coating, refurbishing and chrome plating, with nickel plating for home and hospitality fixtures.

Dairy and farm equipment takes a beating from moisture, manure, sun and daily use. Stanchion hardware, gate latches and brackets come to us for rust removal and tough powder coat that cleans easily. Repeat orders keep the same color so a barn ends up uniform.
San Jacinto's historic Main Street has buildings with signs, brackets and door hardware worth keeping. Hospitality properties in the foothills send fixtures and rails for refinishing between busy weekends. At home, porch lights and patio sets fade under the valley sun and come in for powder coat.
See the price before you ship a thing.
Snap a few photos from different angles and tell us the finish you have in mind. You'll get a written quote and a realistic lead time. Standard work takes 3 to 5 weeks, and expedited orders are possible when the schedule allows.
San Jacinto orders get to us in four steps.
Send photos of every part with a short description. We reply with a written quote and a lead time, usually the same business day. Never ship before you have a quote number.
Wrap each piece individually, keep metal from touching metal, and use at least three inches of padding on every side. Double box long trim and bumpers.
Ship with any carrier, insure the box for what the parts are worth to you, and email us the tracking number so we know it is on the way.
We send photos when the work is done. Once you approve and pay, your parts go back to you packed the same careful way.

Frequently Asked Questions
San Jacinto farmers, shop owners and homeowners ask these.
Yes. We strip rust and old paint, blast and pretreat the steel, then powder coat it in a tough, smooth finish that's easy to hose down. Moving parts can be masked so they still pivot freely. Tell us the count and we'll schedule it in rounds if the barn can't spare everything at once.
Often. Metal signs, brackets and lettering can be stripped and refinished. Painted areas need careful handling, so photos of both sides help us plan.
Please hose off mud and manure and let parts dry. It keeps the box clean and helps our inspection go faster. We still do a full cleaning before any coating.
Some do. Bath fixtures, rails and lighting can be sent in rounds so rooms stay open. We label everything by room. Busy weekends are easier to plan around when we know the dates.
Powder coat and nickel and chrome hold up best. A quick rinse now and then removes dust that dulls the finish. Light colors stay cooler in summer.
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.
