Chrome and Nickel Plating for Poway

Business park precision and horse trail living.

Poway calls itself the City in the Country. Horse trails run through many neighborhoods, Lake Poway and Iron Mountain draw hikers, and plenty of homes sit on large lots. At the same time, the Poway Business Park is one of the busiest manufacturing areas in North County, full of companies making equipment, components and products shipped around the world.

Poway orders reach our shop by ground carrier, usually the following business day. Drawings or photos get you a written quote. Parts are plated, coated or tumbled, checked against your specs and packed for the insured trip back.

Business park manufacturers send machined and stamped parts for electroless nickel, plating and tumbling. Horse property owners send gate latches, barn hardware and hitching rings. Homeowners send lighting and fixtures, and contractors send rails for custom homes in the hills.

What We Do

Plating Services in Poway

Poway asks for electroless nickel plating, tumble finishes and powder coating for manufacturing, with refurbishing and nickel plating for homes.

Metal Finishing Services for Poway

Production floors and trail side corrals.

The Poway Business Park produces a huge range of products, and many of its companies need small parts plated consistently. Electroless nickel gives an even coating on machined components, tumbling deburrs stamped parts, and powder coat protects enclosures and frames. Approved finishes are recorded so each repeat run comes out the same.

Away from the business park, Poway's horse trails and ranch lots mean lots of outdoor hardware: corral latches, barn door rollers, hitching rings and trail gate hinges. Sun and dust wear them down, and our refurbishing work restores them in powder coat or a dark patina that hides fingerprints.

    Yes. Once a finish is approved, we record the process, part numbers and any masking notes. Repeat orders can come weekly or monthly, and each one runs the same way. A reference part kept on file helps both of us confirm the finish stays consistent over time.

    They can. We strip rust and old paint, repair worn spots and refinish in powder coat, which handles daily handling, sun and dust far better than paint. Dark colors hide fingerprints and dirt well.

    Usually it helps. Tumbling removes burrs and sharp edges, so the nickel coats evenly and the parts are safer to handle on the line. We run a sample batch so you can approve the edge condition first.

    Yes. Mark the areas on your drawing or a photo, and we plug or tape them before plating or coating. Masking is included in the quote.

    Yes. Label each home and location, and we return the rails finished and sorted so the install crew can move quickly.

    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.
