Metal Plating Services in Oceanside

Harbor boats, South O cottages and the shop next door.

Oceanside is home for us. The harbor and the pier sit at one end of town, Camp Pendleton runs along the north edge, and business parks fill the east side where our shop is. West of the freeway, salt air settles on everything, so we see a lot of local metal that has had a hard life by the beach.

Most Oceanside customers simply bring their parts in. From most of the city it is a 5 to 15 minute drive. Send us photos first so we can quote, then drop the parts off during receiving hours. When they are ready, you pick them up, or we ship them back if that is easier.

Boat owners at Oceanside Harbor bring cleats and rail fittings. Homeowners in Fire Mountain and South O bring hardware from older homes. Businesses in the east side parks bring production parts, and families from all over town bring lamps, faucets and heirlooms.

What We Do

Plating Services in Oceanside

Oceanside customers bring us chrome plating, boat and yacht parts work, nickel plating and brass plating, and metal polishing for pieces that only need a shine.

Metal Restoration for Oceanside Homes and Businesses

Local boats, local homes and local businesses.

Oceanside Harbor holds hundreds of boats, and their hardware wears quickly in salt air. Being this close means boat owners can bring parts in on a weekday and pick them up without paying for shipping. We strip, copper fill and replate fittings so they look and last like new.

The rest comes from homes and businesses across town. Fire Mountain and South O have older homes with original hardware worth saving. Companies in the east side business parks, some of them our neighbors, send production parts that need plating or powder coating in quantity.

    How It Works

    From Oceanside to Our Shop

    Most locals drop off, but some Oceanside customers prefer to ship. Both are simple.

    01

    Get your quote first

    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.

    02

    Pack it like it will be dropped

    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.

    03

    Insure and send the tracking

    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.

    04

    Approve, then we ship back

    We send photos when the work is done. Once you approve and pay, your parts go back to you packed the same careful way.
