Plating Company Near Del Mar

A village by the sea and a famous racetrack.

Del Mar is a small village along Camino del Mar, with hillside homes looking over the ocean and the San Dieguito Lagoon. The fairgrounds and racetrack at the north end of town bring huge crowds every summer, along with horse trailers, stables and barns. Village hotels and restaurants keep things busy year round, and the salt air is constant.

Del Mar is close enough that many customers drive up. Send a photo for a quote, drop off at our shop any weekday between 8 and 4 and pick up when we call. Shipping by ground also works and usually arrives the next business day.

Hillside homeowners bring door hardware, lighting and outdoor fixtures. Village hotels and restaurants bring bath fixtures, rails and lighting. Horse owners at the fairgrounds bring trailer latches, stall hardware and trophies.

What We Do

Plating Services in Del Mar

Del Mar brings us nickel plating, brass plating and chrome plating, plus silver plating for trophies and powder coating for trailer parts.

Chrome, Nickel and Brass Plating in Del Mar

Camino del Mar hotels, hillside views and racetrack barns.

Del Mar's village hotels and restaurants face the ocean, and their rails, bath fixtures and outdoor lighting pit in the salt air. They bring them up during the quieter months before racing season, and we return everything sealed and ready. Hillside homes bring door hardware and lighting in custom finishes.

When the races and the fair come to town, so do horse owners and their trailers. Trailer latches, tie rings and stall hardware come in for tough powder coat, and trophies from past meets get a fresh silver or gold finish. Being close means a quick drop off between race days.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Del Mar homeowners, hotels and horse owners ask these.

    Yes. Spring is the ideal window. Bring a set of rooms or the restaurant's rails, and we return them sealed and ready before the summer crowds. Being close, your team can drop off and pick up between other errands. Label pieces by room so reinstallation is quick.

    Yes. We strip rust and coat them in a tough finish. Small parts are easy to drop off; ask us about large ramps.

    Yes. Silver and gold plated trophies are stripped of worn plating, polished carefully around engraving and replated. Remove wood or marble bases first. Being close, you can drop them off between race days and pick them up when we call.

    Nickel and chrome or powder coat resist the salt best. The single most helpful habit is a fresh water rinse every week or two, especially after foggy stretches. Salt left on any finish slowly eats into it.

    Of course. We call when your order is ready, and you can pick it up during shop hours.

    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.
