Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.

Three square miles between Anaheim and Garden Grove.
Stanton is one of Orange County's smallest cities, only about three square miles, squeezed between Anaheim, Garden Grove and Cypress. Beach Boulevard runs straight through it, lined with motels, auto shops and small businesses. Light industrial buildings sit along Katella and Cerritos, and residents live in mobile home parks, apartments and modest single family homes.
Stanton customers ship by ground, and boxes usually land the next business day. We price the work from photos. Every part is stripped, plated or coated and given a close look before the insured trip back.
Motel owners send bath fixtures, door hardware and room number plates. Light industry along Katella mails us brackets and housings for a plated or powder coated finish. Auto and repair shops send brackets and small chrome pieces, and residents send faucets, railings and mobile home steps.
Stanton orders usually involve chrome plating, nickel plating and powder coating, with brass plating and tumble finishes.

Motels along Beach Boulevard turn over rooms every day, and faucets, towel bars, door hardware and room number plates wear fast. Refinishing a full set of rooms costs much less than buying new and keeps every room matching. We return pieces in rounds so no room sits without fixtures for long.
Stanton's mobile home parks have their own needs: porch railings, step rails, skirting trim and mailbox posts that rust in the coastal humidity. Our refurbishing work strips them and refinishes in powder coat. Small manufacturers and repair shops along Katella send parts and brackets in batches.
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.
Stanton parts reach us in these 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
Stanton motel owners, shops and residents ask us these.
Yes. Faucets, towel bars, shower heads and door hardware are stripped and replated in chrome or nickel, which handles daily cleaning well. Send a block of rooms at a time, labeled by room number, and we return each round before the next goes out, so the motel stays fully rentable.
Yes. Steel railings and step rails are stripped of rust, repaired and powder coated in a color you choose. Pieces are usually small enough for parcel boxes, though long rails may need a tube box.
They do. Bag parts by number with a count, and tell us the finish. Repeat orders are matched to the first batch you approve.
Usually. Brass plates can be polished and sealed, or replated in nickel or chrome for a modern look. It's an inexpensive way to freshen up a whole building.
Yes. Small brackets and trim are stripped, polished and plated nickel and chrome. Pot metal pieces take extra care.
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.
