Plating and Polishing for Los Alamitos

A small city beside the Joint Forces Training Base.

Los Alamitos is a small city on the Orange County line, right next to the Joint Forces Training Base. The famous race course nearby, mostly in neighboring Cypress, runs quarter horse racing. Old Town Los Alamitos has small shops and restaurants, and neighborhoods of postwar homes fill the rest of the city.

Los Alamitos parts ship by ground and usually arrive the next business day. Photos get you a written quote. Each piece is stripped, plated or coated and inspected before it returns insured.

Military families send keepsakes, plaques and brass pieces. Stable owners send latches, slides and trophies. Homeowners send faucets, door sets and lighting from postwar houses, and Old Town businesses send storefront hardware.

    Plating Questions from Los Alamitos

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Los Alamitos families and stable owners usually ask these.

    Yes. Brass plaques and ceremonial pieces are cleaned, polished and sealed, or replated if the finish is worn through. Wood and fabric parts stay with you. Tell us the ceremony date when you request a quote, and we'll confirm whether standard or expedited timing fits.

    Yes. Latches, slide bolts and feed bin hinges are stripped of rust and powder coated in a smooth, tough finish that's easy to hose down. Sliding surfaces are masked so they keep moving freely. Tell us your race meet dates and we'll plan the return around them.

    Yes. Worn silver is stripped, the piece is polished by hand around the engraving, and new bright, satin or antique silver goes on. Cracked solder joints are repaired first when possible. Trophies with wood bases should have the base removed before shipping.

    Usually. Many are solid brass and heavier than what you'd buy today. We check for cracks, strip the worn chrome, polish and replate in chrome, nickel or brass so the bathroom keeps its original fixtures with a fresh look.

    Some do. Door pulls, kick plates and hanging sign brackets are refinished in brass, nickel or a dark patina to match the shop's style. Pieces go back in rounds so the storefront never looks unfinished.

    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.
