Chrome and Nickel Plating for Yuma

Lettuce fields, river and relentless sun.

Yuma grows most of the country's winter leafy vegetables, so farm equipment and packing lines run hard from fall to spring. The Colorado River passes right by downtown. Two military installations sit nearby. And every winter the population swells with visitors in RV parks. Records list it as the sunniest city in the world.

Interstate 8 connects Yuma to San Diego County, which keeps shipping quick. A ground package usually takes one to two business days. We need photos or a drawing to write your quote. After the parts get here we strip, prep, plate and inspect them, and insure the return.

Equipment dealers and packing operations ask about wear and corrosion protection. Winter visitors send RV and boat hardware, often timing it so the work is done while they are in town. Military families and longtime residents send household pieces.

What We Do

Plating Services in Yuma

Yuma orders lean practical: electroless nickel plating and powder coating for equipment, chrome plating for RV and boat hardware, metal polishing, and refurbishing for outdoor furniture and gates.

Metal Plating Near Yuma

Harvest equipment, RV trim and river boat hardware.

Farm and packing equipment gets wet, gets washed down and gets used hard. Electroless nickel protects steel and aluminum parts with an even layer that covers threads and recesses. For guards, frames and brackets, powder coating is the tougher choice, and we strip, blast and pretreat before the color goes on.

Sun is the other enemy. Chrome on an RV step or a boat rail dulls when grit and hard water bake onto it day after day. We strip those parts and replate them with copper, nickel and chrome. Clean them with mild soap afterward and they stay bright for years.

    Summer, if you can. Yuma's fields are quiet in the hottest months, so parts can be out of service without hurting the harvest. Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 weeks after arrival, and expedited service is sometimes available.

    Usually. Standard work takes 3 to 5 weeks from the day we receive it, so ship early in your stay. If you leave before it is done, we send the order to your home address.

    It is a strong choice for parts that get wet often. The coating is even and has no thin spots at edges or inside threads, which is where rust usually starts. Tell us what the part touches and we will suggest the type.

    Yes. We strip the old coating, media blast the metal clean and pretreat it before applying powder. That prep is what makes the new finish stick and last in Yuma's heat.

    We do. Lamps, awards, heirloom silver and hardware are all common. If you receive orders to move while we have your piece, send the new address and we ship it there.

    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.
