Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.
View in BeaumontWe do metal plating for Beaumont homeowners, distribution centers, builders and small businesses who mail parts to our Oceanside shop. Fixtures, warehouse equipment, rails and patio pieces return refinished and insured.
Cherry country turned a growing hub in the pass.
Beaumont sits in the San Gorgonio Pass between the Inland Empire and the desert. It was once famous for cherry orchards, and the Cherry Festival still celebrates that. Now new neighborhoods and distribution centers fill the land along the 10. The pass is one of the windiest places in Southern California, and blowing dust is constant.
Beaumont parts ship to us by ground, typically arriving in one business day. Send photos for a written quote. After stripping, coating or plating and an inspection, your parts return insured.
Homeowners send builder fixtures for an upgrade, plus outdoor lights and patio furniture worn by the wind. Distribution centers send cart frames and guards. Builders send rails and hardware for new homes, and older downtown businesses send signs and fixtures.
Beaumont orders commonly include powder coating, nickel plating and refurbishing, along with chrome plating and brass plating.

Wind through the pass carries sand and grit that sandblasts outdoor finishes. Porch lights, house numbers, mailboxes and patio furniture fade and pit quickly. We strip them and refinish in powder coat or nickel and chrome, which stand up to the wind much better than paint.
New homes in Beaumont's growing neighborhoods come with builder fixtures, and owners send solid faucets and pulls for polished nickel or brass. Distribution centers along the 10 send steel equipment for powder coat, and builders send stair rails to be finished before installation.
Over three decades of plating, one shop in Oceanside.
Every part is stripped, prepped, plated and inspected in our own building, and our work comes with a 12 month workmanship guarantee. Send photos and we'll take it from there.
Beaumont customers follow these steps.
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.

Beaumont boxes usually reach us within one business day. Tape over openings on hollow pieces so blown sand inside doesn't spill and scratch other parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Beaumont homeowners and businesses ask these often.
The San Gorgonio Pass funnels strong wind full of sand and dust, which works like a slow sandblaster on paint and soft finishes. Powder coat and nickel and chrome are much harder and last far longer. Wiping fixtures with a damp cloth after windy days helps too. Light colors also hide the fine dust that settles after every wind event.
If they're solid brass or zinc die cast, yes. Under the factory coat there's usually brass or zinc, and both take polished nickel, brass or chrome well. Plastic handles are the exception, and a photo of the underside tells us a lot. Kitchens with several matching pieces come out best when sent together.
Yes. Send a round, we coat and return it, then the next round goes out. Colors are recorded so every batch matches. Large orders can travel by freight.
Yes. Label each home and location, and we return rails finished and sorted. It saves time on install day.
Some can. Iron and steel pieces are stripped of rust and refinished, often in black for display. Send photos and we'll tell you what's realistic. Old cherry ladders and scales are common finds.
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.
