What We Do

Plating Services in San Dimas

San Dimas orders often involve patinas, refurbishing and powder coating, plus chrome plating and nickel plating.

Metal Plating Near San Dimas

Boardwalk storefronts, stable rows and reservoir docks.

The Western storefronts downtown use iron signs, lanterns, hitching rails and door hardware that suit the theme. We refinish them in black, rust brown or oil rubbed bronze patinas that look authentic but are sealed to last. Shop owners send pieces in rounds so the street keeps its character. Hitching rails out front often get the same finish as the signs above them.

Horse properties along the trails send stall latches, gate hinges and trailer hardware for tough powder coat. Boaters at Puddingstone Reservoir send cleats and small fittings for nickel and chrome. Foothill homeowners send lighting and fixtures for an update.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    San Dimas shop owners and horse owners often ask these.

    Get a free quote

    Yes. We strip loose rust and old paint, then finish the iron in a black or rust brown patina with edges rubbed back so it looks weathered but cared for. A sealer keeps it from actually rusting further. Send a photo of the look you want, whether that's freshly forged or a hundred years old.

    Yes. Latches, hinges and tie rings are stripped and powder coated. Send small parts in a box; large ramps or doors need freight. Trailer tie rings and latches get a textured coat for grip.

    Yes. Freshwater hardware usually needs little repair. We strip, polish and plate nickel and chrome. Ski tow hardware works the same way.

    Often. That way the boardwalk never looks bare while work is underway. Lanterns and sign brackets are the most common first round.

    Oil rubbed bronze and satin nickel are popular. Outdoors, powder coat holds up best. Hillside homes facing west get the most sun and benefit most from powder coat.

    Not at all. Most of what comes through our door is home and business hardware: faucets, light fixtures, door handles, cabinet pulls, railings and decorative pieces. We also work for hotels, restaurants, boat owners and manufacturers.

    Tell us what the part is, roughly how big it is, how many pieces you have and the finish you're after. If you know the metal, mention it. If not, that's fine. We can usually tell from the photos.

    Every part is quoted on its own. The biggest factors are condition, the base metal, size and shape, the finish you choose and how many pieces you send. A part with deep pits or broken spots takes more work before it can be plated.
