Chrome and Nickel Plating for Nogales

Two cities, one busy crossing.

Nogales, Arizona shares a name and a fence with its much larger sister city in Sonora. A large share of the winter produce eaten in the United States crosses here, and warehouses line the highway north. Manufacturing plants on the Mexican side rely on suppliers and logistics firms on the Arizona side.

Nogales businesses work on tight schedules, so we keep our part clear. Send drawings or photos and get a written quote. Ship by ground, usually one to two business days. We plate in planned batches, inspect and return insured. Tell us your deadline and we will be honest about it.

Warehouse operators ask about racks, conveyor parts and dock hardware. Suppliers to the cross border plants ask about plating small components. Merchants along Morley Avenue, the old shopping street, ask about restoring storefront metal.

What We Do

Plating Services in Nogales

Nogales calls for electroless nickel plating, functional copper plating and tumble finishes for components, powder coating for warehouse equipment, and brass plating or metal polishing for storefronts.

Metal Finishing Services for Nogales

Components, cold room hardware and old storefront brass.

Electrical and electronic components often need copper for conductivity or as a base for other finishes. We also plate electroless nickel on connectors, housings and machined parts. Quantities in the hundreds or thousands are normal, and we keep a lot consistent from the first piece to the last.

Produce warehouses are cold and damp, which is rough on steel. Powder coating over blasted, pretreated metal protects carts, guards and brackets. Downtown, a few older stores still have brass door pulls, kick plates and display trim that polish up nicely.

    How It Works

    From Nogales to Our Shop

    Nogales freight heads north, then west to us. Parcels or pallets both work.

    01

    Get your quote first

    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.

    02

    Pack it like it will be dropped

    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.

    03

    Insure and send the tracking

    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.

    04

    Approve, then we ship back

    We send photos when the work is done. Once you approve and pay, your parts go back to you packed the same careful way.

    How Nogales Customers Ship Parts to Us

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Nogales warehouses and suppliers ask these.

    Get a free quote

    Yes, when the parts ship to us from within the United States. Send the drawing, base metal, quantity and finish. We quote the run and plate it in batches so the lot stays consistent.

    That is the best time. When the winter produce season ends, send carts, guards and brackets for powder coating. With 3 to 5 weeks of standard turnaround, they return well before the next season.

    Copper fills small flaws and levels the surface, and it helps the next layer bond. It is the base under nickel and chrome on decorative work, and it is also used alone on electrical parts.

    Sometimes. Expedited service takes 5 to 7 business days when our schedule has room. We never promise a date we are not sure of, so ask at the quote stage.

    We do. Door pulls, push bars and kick plates are cut and buffed by hand and can be lacquered. Send sizes, since long kick plates need flat, stiff packing.

    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.
