Chrome, Nickel and Brass Plating in Avondale

A raceway town with deep roots.

Avondale is where NASCAR comes to Arizona, at the raceway tucked against the Estrella Mountains. Race weekends bring the crowds, but car culture is here all year. The city started as a farm stop near the Agua Fria River, and Historic Avondale along Western Avenue still shows it. Big warehouses now line Interstate 10.

From Avondale, send us a few clear photos to begin. We answer with a written quote. Next you box the parts and hand them to a ground carrier, and they usually arrive in one to two business days. We finish the job, check each piece and return everything insured.

Garage builders and racers ask about small chrome parts and polished aluminum. Fabricators want brackets and frames coated. Warehouse and logistics companies send equipment hardware. And homeowners send the usual hard water victims from kitchens and baths.

What We Do

Plating Services in Avondale

In Avondale the favorites are classic car and motorcycle parts, chrome plating and metal polishing, plus powder coating in gloss, candy and textured colors and nickel plating for home hardware.

Why Avondale Sends Its Plating to DMC

Small trim, shop brackets and valve covers.

For car and motorcycle work, small parts are the sweet spot. Door handles, bezels, levers, brackets, horn rings. They ship easily and they make a big visual difference. We take them to bare metal, fill pits with copper, then plate nickel and chrome to a show, driver or period correct level.

Powder coating is the other big ask. Candy and metallic colors over polished metal look great on valve covers and brackets. We mask threads and mating surfaces first. Large parts like bumpers cost a lot to ship both ways, so ask us before boxing anything big.

    Prep time, mostly. Show chrome means more hand polishing between the copper, nickel and chrome layers, for a flawless mirror. Driver quality still looks great and costs less. Tell us how the vehicle is used and we will suggest a level.

    Yes. Aluminum, steel, stainless, brass, bronze, copper, pot metal and zamak can all be chrome plated in our shop. Aluminum needs its own prep steps, which we handle.

    Good powder coating handles sun far better than paint, and a clear powder top coat adds protection. Any color will last longer if the vehicle is garaged or covered, which matters in Avondale summers.

    Sometimes. The plating can be done, but freight both ways adds up quickly. Send dimensions and photos, and we will give you the plating price so you can weigh it against shipping.

    Yes. We cut and buff aluminum by hand to a mirror, bright or brushed finish. A clear coat is optional. Without it, polished aluminum needs an occasional touch up with metal polish.

    Not at all. Most of what comes through our door is home and business hardware: faucets, light fixtures, door handles, cabinet pulls, railings and decorative pieces. We also work for hotels, restaurants, boat owners and manufacturers.

    Tell us what the part is, roughly how big it is, how many pieces you have and the finish you're after. If you know the metal, mention it. If not, that's fine. We can usually tell from the photos.

    Every part is quoted on its own. The biggest factors are condition, the base metal, size and shape, the finish you choose and how many pieces you send. A part with deep pits or broken spots takes more work before it can be plated.
