Chrome, Nickel and Brass Plating in Blythe

The Palo Verde Valley on the Arizona line.

Blythe sits on the Colorado River at the far eastern edge of California, across from Arizona. The Palo Verde Valley around it is irrigated farmland, mostly alfalfa, cotton and vegetables. Interstate 10 brings a steady stream of trucks, and the river draws boaters and campers. Summer heat is among the most extreme in the state.

Blythe is a long way from our shop, so ground shipping usually takes one to two business days. Photos get you a written quote. We strip, coat or plate and inspect each piece, then return it insured.

Farmers send equipment brackets, guards and irrigation fittings. River boaters send cleats, rails and small hardware. Trucking businesses along the 10 send step plates and brackets, and homeowners send patio furniture and gates baked by the sun.

What We Do

Plating Services in Blythe

Blythe mostly asks for powder coating and refurbishing, plus chrome plating and boat and yacht parts work for river boats.

Plating and Polishing for Blythe

Hay barns, river docks and I 10 truck stops.

Farm work in the Palo Verde Valley is hot, dusty and nonstop during the growing season. Equipment guards, brackets and irrigation fittings come in for blasting and powder coat that stands up to sun and water. Sending parts in the off season means they're back before the next cutting.

The Colorado River brings boaters every weekend, and their cleats, rails and ski tow hardware fade fast in the sun, and a fresh nickel and chrome layer brings them back. Trucking businesses along Interstate 10 send step plates and brackets, and homeowners send patio pieces the heat has bleached.

    Usually, if you plan ahead. Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 weeks, plus one to two days of shipping each way, so send parts right after a cutting. If the calendar is tight, ask about expedited timing. Tell us the date you need them back and we'll tell you honestly whether it fits.

    Yes. River water is gentle compared to the ocean, so most of what we see is sun fade and mineral spots. After stripping and polishing, a nickel and chrome stack handles both.

    Light colored powder coat is the toughest for furniture and gates. Chrome and nickel work well on fixtures.

    Some do. Step plates and brackets are chrome plated or powder coated, and repeat orders match. Fleets often pick one finish for every truck.

    Blythe is far from major carrier hubs, so some routes add a day. Most boxes arrive within two business days. We email when it arrives.

    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.
