Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.
View ServiceWe serve Casa Grande with metal plating by mail, coating parts for manufacturers and farm operations and restoring fixtures for homes and downtown businesses. Parts go to Oceanside, California and return insured.
A crossroads town that makes and grows.
Casa Grande sits about halfway between Phoenix and Tucson, right where Interstate 8 meets Interstate 10. Cotton and other crops have long surrounded it. Lately manufacturing has grown fast, with large new plants on the edges of town. Downtown keeps its older storefronts and a park of restored vintage neon signs.
Interstate 8 runs from Casa Grande toward San Diego County, so freight flows our direction naturally. Ground packages usually take one to two business days. As always, photos or drawings come first, followed by our written quote. Then you ship, we plate and inspect, and we send it home insured.
Plants and their suppliers ask about production coating. Farm operations send equipment parts between seasons. Downtown business owners and sign collectors write about old metal that needs repair. Homeowners send fixtures.
Casa Grande orders usually call for electroless nickel plating, powder coating and tumble finishes on the industrial side, and chrome plating, refurbishing and metal polishing for older pieces.

View ServiceProduction parts and old neon sign cans.
New plants mean new supply chains, and local shops that feed them often need a plating partner. We take production runs of hundreds or thousands of parts and keep the finish consistent across the lot. Before a long run of tumbled parts, we process a sample batch for your approval.
Old signs and storefront metal are a different pleasure. We assess the piece, strip rust and failed paint, straighten and repair, then refinish with powder coating, plating or polishing. Trim rings, letters and brackets ship easily. Whole sign cabinets may not, so send sizes first.
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.
From Casa Grande, the interstate does most of the work.
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
Casa Grande plants, farms and collectors ask these.
Yes. Send the part drawing, base metal, quantity and finish requirement. We quote the run, plate it in planned batches and ship it back ready for your next step. Repeat orders follow the same details on file.
We do. Trim, letters, brackets and small panels can be stripped, repaired and refinished. Powder coating suits painted parts, and chrome or polishing suits bright trim. Send photos and sizes before shipping.
It is a small test batch. We tumble a few of your parts, you check the edges and surface, and only then do we run the full quantity. It avoids surprises on a large order.
Yes. Send them when the equipment is parked. With 3 to 5 weeks of standard turnaround, parts shipped early in the off season are usually back with time to spare.
It depends on the job. Powder coating gives color and a thick protective layer. Electroless nickel protects while keeping tight dimensions. Describe the part and its use, and we will recommend one.
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.
