Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.
View ServiceMetal plating for Goodyear covers aerospace and industrial companies near the airport as well as homeowners in the golf communities. Everything ships to our California shop by mail and returns plated, inspected and insured.
Named for cotton, known for industry.
Goodyear takes its name from the tire company, which bought land here a century ago to grow cotton for tire cord. Aviation followed during the war years, and the airport is still a center for aircraft maintenance. Today distribution centers and data centers fill the flat land, with Estrella and PebbleCreek on either side.
Our process suits Goodyear companies because it is predictable. Drawings or photos in, written quote out. You ship by ground, and the usual transit is one to two business days. We plate in planned batches, inspect, and return the order insured. Pallets are welcome for larger lots.
Maintenance shops and manufacturers send functional parts. Facility managers ask about hardware, enclosures and racks that need recoating. In the residential areas, retirees and families send bath fixtures, lighting and golf cart trim.
Goodyear requests often pair electroless nickel plating with powder coating for industrial parts, add tumble finishes for small hardware, and include chrome plating and brass plating for homes.

Industrial buyers usually have two worries: will the coating be even, and will the lot look the same from start to finish. Electroless nickel answers the first, since it deposits without current and covers every surface alike. Batch planning answers the second. We plate large runs in order and inspect as we go.
Enclosures, brackets and panels are good candidates for powder coating. We do the stripping, blasting and pretreatment in house, then apply gloss, satin, matte or textured powder. On the home side, PebbleCreek and Estrella owners mostly want faucets and lighting brought back to match.
Big order or a single knob, same care.
Homeowners send us one faucet. Companies in and out of state send production runs of hundreds or thousands of parts. Both get a written quote and the same inspection before anything ships back.
Goodyear orders can ship as a single box or a full pallet.
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
Goodyear buyers and homeowners ask these often.
Yes. Many of our customers send the same parts on a schedule. After the first run we keep the finish details on file, so repeat lots match. Tell us the expected volume and we plan capacity for it.
The phosphorus level changes how the coating behaves. In simple terms, higher phosphorus resists corrosion better, while lower phosphorus is harder as plated. Tell us what the part faces and we recommend one.
We do. Aluminum, steel, stainless, cast iron and galvanized parts can all be coated. Holes, threads and grounding points are masked when you mark them for us.
Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 weeks. Expedited service of 5 to 7 business days is offered when our schedule allows. Ask when you request the quote, because we will not promise a date we cannot keep.
Yes. Faucets, shower trim, lamps and door hardware are everyday work here. Send photos, and a sample if you need a match, and we will quote the set.
Yes, and most of our work starts that way. We strip the old plating down to the base metal, repair what needs repair, then plate it fresh. New plating over a failing layer never lasts, so we don't do it.
We do. Along with single pieces for homeowners, we run batches of hundreds or thousands of parts for companies in California and other states. Send a photo of a sample, the quantity and the finish, and we'll quote the whole run.
Steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, pot metal and zamak. Some of them need extra prep so the plating bonds well, and we'll tell you up front if your part does.
