Plating Company Near Fontana

Built on steel, now running on freight.

Fontana's story is tied to steel. The big Kaiser mill opened here during World War II and shaped the city for decades. Today the same land is covered in warehouses and trucking yards, and the city keeps growing. That means a lot of steel parts, trailers and equipment that need protective finishes.

Parts from Fontana come to us by ground, usually the next business day. Send photos and we reply with a written quote. Ship your parts, and we strip, prep, coat or plate them, inspect them and send them back insured.

Trucking and logistics companies send brackets, step plates and equipment parts. Fabricators send small production runs. Homeowners in the older neighborhoods near Sierra Avenue and in the newer areas up north send lighting, door hardware and outdoor fixtures.

What We Do

Plating Services in Fontana

Fontana work usually means powder coating, chrome plating and tumble finishes for working parts, plus nickel plating and refurbishing for homes.

Metal Finishing Shop Serving Fontana

Truck yards, fab shops and Sierra Avenue homes.

Trucks and trailers rule Fontana's streets, and their metal parts take a pounding. Brackets, step plates and guards come to us for powder coating or chrome. Fabricators send cut and welded parts that need deburring and tumbling before they get a finish.

Homes in Fontana range from older ranch houses to brand new tracts in the north. Owners send outdoor lights, gate hardware and house numbers that the inland sun has faded. We refinish them so they match, and so they last through the hot, dry summers.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Fontana fleets, shops and homeowners often ask us these.

    Get a free quote

    Yes. Brackets, guards and step plates are common powder coating jobs. We strip and blast the steel, pretreat it, and coat it in the color and texture you want. Larger fleets can send parts in rounds.

    Tumbling removes burrs, rounds sharp edges and smooths the surface of small parts in quantity. It is often done before plating or coating. We run a sample batch first so you can approve the look.

    We can. Larger orders often come by freight. Tell us before it ships, include a packing list with counts, and strap the boxes to the pallet so nothing shifts.

    Pick a finish built for sun and heat, like powder coat or nickel and chrome, and wash off dust now and then with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh cleaners, which wear finishes down faster than the weather does.

    Yes. Runs of a few hundred to a few thousand parts are normal for us. We quote by part, finish and count, and keep every batch consistent.

    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.
