Chrome and Nickel Plating for Costa Mesa

A shopping and arts city just off the coast.

Costa Mesa is known for South Coast Plaza, the Segerstrom arts center and the fairgrounds, but it also has the Westside, where small makers, fabricators and design shops fill older industrial buildings. The Eastside has charming postwar cottages, and the whole city sits close enough to the ocean that outdoor metal feels the salt.

From Costa Mesa we work by shipping. Photos come first, then a written quote. Pack the parts and ship by ground, and they usually reach us the next business day. After stripping, plating and inspection, everything returns insured.

Interior designers send lighting and cabinet hardware for remodels. Westside makers send custom pieces that need brass, copper or a patina. Restaurants send rails and pulls, and Eastside homeowners send door sets and outdoor lights that the coastal air has dulled.

Metal Plating Services in Costa Mesa

Westside workshops and Eastside porches.

The Westside has become a home for makers: furniture builders, lighting designers and metal fabricators. They send pieces that need a specific color, like aged brass or a dark bronze patina. We color match by hand from a sample, which matters when a designer is building a series.

Costa Mesa's retail and restaurant scene sends display hardware, rails and pulls that see constant handling. On the Eastside, owners of cottages from the 1950s send porch lights and door hardware they want brought back rather than swapped for something generic.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Costa Mesa designers and homeowners ask these first.

    Yes. Aged brass varies a lot, so a physical sample is best. We plate and darken by hand to match, then seal it. For a series, we finish everything together so the color stays consistent.

    Often. One off furniture parts, lighting arms and art pieces come through regularly. Tell us which faces show and whether anything needs masking, and we quote from there.

    Unsealed brass darkens faster near the coast. A clear lacquer seal slows that down a lot. Indoors, sealed brass needs only a soft cloth and mild soap.

    Yes. Plan it around your slower weeks, send the pieces in rounds, and we return them before the next set comes off the floor. Labels on each piece help us return everything to the right fixture.

    It can be, if you like change. A living finish keeps aging with use. For a look that stays the same, a sealed patina is the safer pick in busy spaces. We can show you a test piece before the full order.

    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.
