Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.
View in Moreno ValleyWe handle metal plating for Moreno Valley customers who ship parts to our Oceanside shop. Distribution centers, contractors, shops and homeowners get their metal stripped, plated or coated, and sent back insured.
Warehouses, ranch houses and hot dry summers.
Moreno Valley grew fast in the last few decades, and much of that growth came from huge distribution centers along the 215 and the 60. Neighborhoods are mostly newer, with homes from the 1980s onward. Summers are hot and dry, and sun is the main enemy of outdoor metal here.
Moreno Valley orders ship to us by ground, usually arriving the next business day. A handful of clear photos is enough for a written quote. Once you approve it, pack the parts and send them off, and our team strips, coats or plates, and checks each one before the insured return trip.
Warehouses and logistics companies send equipment parts and brackets for powder coating. Contractors send fixtures from remodels. Homeowners send faucets, outdoor lighting and patio pieces they want in a better finish, and boaters who use Lake Perris send small hardware.
Moreno Valley mostly needs powder coating and chrome plating, along with nickel plating, brass plating and refurbishing for patio furniture.

Logistics is Moreno Valley's biggest industry, and the giant warehouses near the freeways run on steel racks, carts, guards and dock equipment. Guards, brackets and frames come to us for powder coating in tough finishes. When a company needs many identical parts, we plan the coating in batches so the color stays consistent.
At home, Moreno Valley families often want to upgrade builder fixtures or bring sun faded patio pieces back. We replate faucets and bath trim in polished nickel or brass, refurbish patio furniture, and coat outdoor lights so they handle the heat better.
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.
Moreno Valley customers usually follow these steps to ship to us.
Send photos of every part with a short description. We reply with a written quote and a lead time, usually the same business day. Never ship before you have a quote number.
Wrap each piece individually, keep metal from touching metal, and use at least three inches of padding on every side. Double box long trim and bumpers.
Ship with any carrier, insure the box for what the parts are worth to you, and email us the tracking number so we know it is on the way.
We send photos when the work is done. Once you approve and pay, your parts go back to you packed the same careful way.

Frequently Asked Questions
These are the questions Moreno Valley customers ask us most.
Yes. We strip the old finish, remove rust, fix bent parts, and refinish in powder coat, which handles heat and sun well. Large pieces may need freight shipping, so send photos with measurements first.
We keep batches consistent by using the same powder and process for the whole order. If an order comes in several rounds, tell us, and we note the exact color so later batches match.
Solid brass and zinc die cast faucets can be. Plastic parts with a metal look can't. Send photos and we tell you which of your fixtures are good candidates.
Powder coat and nickel and chrome both hold up well in heat and sun. Brass and copper need lacquer outside. Rinse dust off now and then with mild soap and water.
Yes. Cleats, handles and small fittings plate well in nickel and chrome. Freshwater parts usually need less repair than saltwater ones, which can keep the cost down.
Yes, and most of our work starts that way. We strip the old plating down to the base metal, repair what needs repair, then plate it fresh. New plating over a failing layer never lasts, so we don't do it.
We do. Along with single pieces for homeowners, we run batches of hundreds or thousands of parts for companies in California and other states. Send a photo of a sample, the quantity and the finish, and we'll quote the whole run.
Steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, pot metal and zamak. Some of them need extra prep so the plating bonds well, and we'll tell you up front if your part does.
