Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.
View in CoronaWe provide metal plating to Corona manufacturers, contractors and homeowners who ship parts to our Oceanside shop. Production parts, fixtures and home hardware are stripped, plated or coated, inspected, and sent back insured.
Industrial parks along the 91 and homes in the hills.
Corona is called the Circle City for the round Grand Boulevard that loops through its old downtown. These days it is better known for the industrial parks along the 91 and the 15, where many manufacturers and suppliers work. Newer neighborhoods climb into the hills and out toward Temescal Valley.
We work with Corona by ground shipping, usually one business day each way. Send photos or drawings for a written quote. Ship the parts, and we take them through prep, plating or coating and inspection before the insured return.
Manufacturers send production parts for electroless nickel, nickel or powder coating. Contractors send fixtures and hardware from builds and remodels, often in labeled sets for several homes at once. Homeowners in South Corona and the older streets near Grand Boulevard send lighting, faucets and door sets.
Corona commonly orders powder coating, electroless nickel plating and tumble finishes for manufacturing, and chrome plating and brass plating for homes.

Corona's industrial parks hold manufacturers that make everything from equipment to building products. They need finishes that are consistent across hundreds or thousands of parts. We tumble, plate and coat in batches, and we keep notes on approved finishes so repeat orders match.
Builders and remodelers in Corona send fixtures, rails and hardware for new homes and upgrades. The older blocks near Grand Boulevard have homes from the early 1900s with hardware that owners want to keep, and we plate it in finishes that suit those houses.
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.
Corona orders reach us in about a day. Here is the process.
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
Corona manufacturers and homeowners often ask these.
Yes. Once you approve a finish, we record the process and use it every time. Repeat orders come out consistent, and you can send a reference part with each order to make matching easy.
We do. Threads, mating surfaces and holes can be masked so parts still fit after coating. Mark the areas on a drawing or photo and we include masking in the quote.
Yes. Label each home's pieces separately and include a list. We keep them sorted through the whole process and return them grouped the same way.
Regular nickel uses electric current and is great for decorative finishes. Electroless nickel deposits chemically, with no current, so it builds an even layer on threads, edges and deep holes. It is the better choice for precise functional parts.
If they are solid brass, usually yes. We strip, polish and plate them in chrome, nickel or brass. Send photos first so we can check for plastic parts or cracks.
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.
