Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.
View in Monterey ParkWe provide metal plating to Monterey Park restaurants, homeowners, offices and shop owners who mail parts to our Oceanside shop. Kitchen trim, decor, lighting and hardware come back stripped, refinished and insured.
Hills, food and a lot of family businesses.
Monterey Park sits on rolling hills at the west end of the San Gabriel Valley, between East Los Angeles and Alhambra. Its main streets, especially Atlantic Boulevard and Garvey Avenue, are packed with restaurants, bakeries and family businesses. Hillside neighborhoods have homes from the 1950s and 60s with views toward downtown LA.
From Monterey Park, everything ships. We look at your photos and send a written quote. The parcel usually reaches us in one business day, and after plating and a careful check it returns insured.
Restaurants send rails, serving pieces, kitchen trim and decorative gold or brass. Offices and medical buildings send handles and fixtures. Hillside homeowners send lighting, door sets and bath fixtures, and shops send display pieces and storefront hardware.
Monterey Park often asks for gold 24k plating and brass plating on decor, metal polishing for stainless, and nickel plating and chrome plating.

View ServiceBanquet halls, bakeries and hillside view homes.
Monterey Park's restaurants and banquet halls use a lot of decorative metal: gold toned trim, brass serving carts, chafing dish frames, decorative screens. We strip worn finishes and plate bright gold, brass or nickel, then seal them for daily use. Stainless counters and hoods usually just need polishing.
The hillside homes have solid hardware from the 1950s and 60s, and owners send it for polished nickel, satin brass or chrome. Offices and medical buildings send handles and fixtures in sets, and we label everything so it returns to the right door.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions we hear from Atlantic and Garvey business owners, and from the hills.
Yes. We strip worn gold, polish the base metal, add a nickel barrier and plate bright or satin 24k gold. Pieces that get handled a lot can get a heavier deposit, which lasts longer. Decorative screens and lantern frames get the same treatment.
Yes. We take carts apart where possible, strip, polish and replate the brass, then seal it with lacquer so spills don't spot it. Wheels and wood parts stay with you or come off first. Carts usually come back looking new.
Polished. Stainless steel doesn't need plating. Hand polishing brings back a bright or satin look. Large hoods usually stay put, so send smaller panels and trim. Edges and seams get extra care.
Yes. Solid hardware from that era plates very well. We strip and replate it in polished nickel, satin brass or chrome, matching full sets together. Many hillside homes still have original lever sets.
Many do. Tag each handle by door, include a list, and we return the set sorted for quick reinstallation. It speeds up the install on the return trip.
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.
