Metal Finishing Shop Serving Fullerton

Golden Hill houses and downtown storefronts.

Fullerton has a historic downtown around the old Santa Fe train station, older neighborhoods like Golden Hill and Raymond Hills, and Cal State Fullerton bringing thousands of people to the north side. Industrial areas on the west and north sides keep plenty of manufacturers busy. It is a city with a little of everything, and its metal work reflects that.

From Fullerton it's a quick hop down the 5. Photos get you a written price, and once you say yes, the box goes out by UPS or FedEx and lands in Oceanside a day later. Each part is prepped, plated and looked over by hand before it heads home insured.

Homeowners in Golden Hill send door hardware and lighting from 1920s and 30s homes. Restaurants and bars downtown send rails, pulls and fixtures. Manufacturers send production parts for plating, tumbling or powder coating, and campus facilities send handles and fittings.

What We Do

Plating Services in Fullerton

Fullerton orders usually call for chrome plating, nickel plating and brass plating, plus powder coating and tumble finishes for manufacturers.

Why Fullerton Sends Its Plating to DMC

Downtown bars, campus halls and hillside homes.

Downtown Fullerton has a busy restaurant and bar scene, and those businesses send rails, foot rails, pulls and fixtures that see lots of use. We replate them in brass, chrome or nickel. Older homes in Golden Hill and Raymond Hills send hardware that owners want to keep original.

The industrial parts of Fullerton, west of Harbor Boulevard and up near the airport, hold manufacturers making all kinds of products. They send parts in quantity for tumbling, plating and powder coating. Cal State Fullerton and other campus buildings send handles and fittings that need a fresh, durable finish, usually during the summer break when halls are quiet.

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.

    Plating Questions from Fullerton

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Fullerton customers ask us these questions often.

    Use a long tube or box with padding at both ends and along the length. Remove brackets and bag them separately. Very long rails may need freight, so send measurements before shipping.

    Yes. Send an original piece as the sample, and we match it. Polished nickel, satin nickel and antique brass are common finishes in homes from that era.

    They do. We strip, blast, pretreat and coat brackets, housings and frames in the color and texture you want, and mask threads or mating surfaces when needed.

    Usually, yes. Solid handles and fittings can be stripped and replated, which costs less than replacing them and keeps the original look of the building.

    Chrome is the toughest for heavy use and frequent cleaning. Brass gives a warmer look and lasts well when sealed with lacquer. Many bars choose based on style, and both work.

    Send us a few photos of the part from different angles, along with what it is and the finish you want. We look them over and send a written quote, usually within 24 business hours. It's free, and you're under no obligation to go ahead.

    Standard orders take 3 to 5 weeks from the day your parts arrive. If you're on a deadline, ask about expedited service. When the schedule allows, we can finish in 5 to 7 business days.

    Yes. Our workmanship is covered for 12 months. If something isn't right with the finish we put on, call us and we'll make it right.
