Why Chino Sends Its Plating to DMC

Warbirds at the airport, cows down the road.

Chino has a split personality in the best way. The Chino Airport is famous for vintage aircraft restoration and air museums, and old warbirds fly overhead on weekends. South of town, dairy farms gave way to newer neighborhoods like The Preserve, and warehouses line the main roads.

Chino work comes to us by ground carrier, usually overnight. You send photos or a drawing, we answer with a written quote, and you ship. We polish, plate or coat each part, inspect it, and return the order insured.

Aircraft restorers send small fittings, panels and interior trim for polishing, chrome or nickel. Warehouses send cart and dock parts for powder coating. Remaining farms send equipment pieces, and homeowners in The Preserve send fixtures for an upgrade.

What We Do

Plating Services in Chino

Chino asks for metal polishing, chrome plating and nickel plating on aircraft pieces, with powder coating and electroless nickel plating for industry.

Metal Plating Services in Chino

Hangars, dairies and The Preserve kitchens.

Restorers at the airport bring back aircraft that are decades old, and the small parts matter: throttle knobs, placards, trim pieces, fittings. We hand polish aluminum to a mirror or plate small steel and brass parts in period finishes. Larger structural parts stay with their certified shops.

Logistics has taken over much of the old farm land, and warehouses send steel equipment for powder coat in batches. Newer homes in The Preserve send faucets and lighting for polished nickel or brass, while longtime residents send hardware from older ranch houses.

One Piece or a Thousand

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.

    How It Works

    From Chino to Our Shop

    Chino customers usually get parts to us this way.

    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.

    Yes. We hand polish aluminum from coarse to fine compounds for a mirror or bright buff finish, and can add clear lacquer to slow dulling. We work on small non structural parts like knobs, trim and fittings. Anything with airworthiness requirements should be checked with your certified shop first.

    They do. Carts, guards, dock plates and brackets are common. We strip, blast, pretreat and coat them, and we keep the color recorded so later batches match the first.

    Often. Gates, latches, hinges and equipment brackets can be stripped of rust, repaired and powder coated. Some owners keep old pieces for decor, and we can finish those in a patina instead.

    Polished nickel, satin brass and matte black are the most requested. We finish full sets together so every faucet, pull and light in a room matches. Send a photo of the room and we can suggest a finish that fits.

    Small interior trim pieces usually can. We strip, repair minor pits and plate nickel and chrome. Pot metal pieces need extra care, and we tell you upfront what result to expect.

    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.
