Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.
View in Buena ParkWe do metal plating for Buena Park attractions, hotels, restaurants, manufacturers and homeowners who mail their parts to our Oceanside shop. Show pieces, fixtures, production parts and hardware are refinished and shipped back insured.
Beach Boulevard attractions and quiet side streets.
Buena Park is known for its entertainment corridor along Beach Boulevard, where theme parks, dinner theaters and attractions draw visitors all year. Hotels and restaurants follow the crowds. Behind that strip, the city has industrial areas with manufacturers and distributors, plus postwar neighborhoods of single story homes.
Buena Park customers send everything by ground. We look at your photos and reply with a written quote. Once you ship, the box usually arrives the next business day, and the finished work goes back insured after a final inspection.
Attractions and theaters send decorative pieces, rails and props that need gold, brass or chrome. Hotels send bath fixtures and door hardware. Manufacturers send production parts, and families send faucets and door sets from postwar homes.
Buena Park asks for gold 24k plating, brass plating and chrome plating for show pieces, plus powder coating and nickel plating.

Entertainment venues need metal that catches light and survives crowds. Decorative pieces get bright gold or brass, rails get chrome, and props get whatever finish the scene calls for. We schedule batches around show calendars so nothing is missing on a big night. Some props need to look aged on purpose, which we do with patinas and hand rubbing.
Hotels along Beach Boulevard refinish bath fixtures and door hardware in rounds. In the industrial areas, manufacturers send parts for powder coating and plating in quantity. Postwar homes send solid hardware that owners want to keep instead of replacing.
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.
Buena Park orders reach us like this.
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
Buena Park venues, hotels and families ask these most.
Yes. We plate bright, satin or two tone 24k gold over a nickel barrier. Decorative gold looks rich under show lighting. Tell us how much handling the piece gets, and we suggest the right deposit.
We can. Send your dates, and we plan rounds so pieces are back before each show. Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 weeks, and expedited service may be available for tight deadlines.
They do. A set of rooms goes out, comes back, and the next set follows. Rooms stay in service the whole time. Tag each piece with the room number so it goes back to the right place.
Yes. For bigger runs, a pallet on a freight truck is easiest. Call before it ships so receiving expects it, and include a packing list with counts. Our dock takes deliveries on weekdays from 8 in the morning until 4.
Usually. Hardware from that era is often solid brass or steel. We strip and replate it in satin chrome, polished nickel or brass. Send one piece as a sample if you want the finish to match what you already have.
Send us a few photos of the part from different angles, along with what it is and the finish you want. We look them over and send a written quote, usually within 24 business hours. It's free, and you're under no obligation to go ahead.
Standard orders take 3 to 5 weeks from the day your parts arrive. If you're on a deadline, ask about expedited service. When the schedule allows, we can finish in 5 to 7 business days.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered for 12 months. If something isn't right with the finish we put on, call us and we'll make it right.
