Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.
View in Santa ClaritaWe take care of metal plating for Santa Clarita customers who ship to our Oceanside shop. Manufacturers in Valencia, ranch owners, film location crews and families in Saugus and Canyon Country get their parts stripped, plated and sent back insured.
Western movie country with a modern work side.
Santa Clarita brings together Valencia, Newhall, Saugus and Canyon Country. The hills around Newhall have been used for Western films for about a century, and movie ranches still operate there. Valencia's business parks hold manufacturers, including aerospace and medical companies. The valley is hot and dry, with dust and strong sun.
Santa Clarita parts reach us by ground, usually in one business day. Photos come first, then a written quote. Pack the parts, ship them, and we strip, prep, plate and inspect everything before the insured trip home.
Manufacturers in Valencia send production parts for nickel or powder coating. Ranch owners in Sand Canyon and Placerita Canyon send gate hardware, lanterns and iron pieces. Families send faucets, lighting and outdoor fixtures that the sun has faded.
Santa Clarita often orders powder coating and electroless nickel plating for manufacturers, and refurbishing, patinas and chrome plating for ranches and homes.

Valencia's industrial areas keep a lot of machining and assembly going. Those shops send brackets, housings and machined parts that need an even, durable finish, and we plan larger orders in batches. Electroless nickel and powder coating are the most common requests.
Out in the canyons, ranch properties have gates, hinges, latches and lanterns that take sun, dust and the occasional storm. Our refurbishing work removes rust and refinishes them. Homes in Saugus and Canyon Country send kitchen and bath fixtures for an upgrade.
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.
Here is how Santa Clarita customers send parts 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
Questions Santa Clarita shops and ranch owners ask most.
Yes. Hinges, latches, pulls and lanterns come back well after rust removal and repair. We finish them in powder coat for toughness or a patina for a rustic look. Large gates may need freight, so ask first.
They do. Production runs from dozens to thousands of parts are routine for us. Tell us the coating, the quantity and any masking, and we quote the job and plan the batches.
We can. Patinas like black, statuary brown or antique brass, with highlights rubbed back by hand, give new metal an aged look. Send a photo of the look you want and we match it as closely as we can.
Dust is mostly abrasive. Wiping it off dry can scratch soft finishes like brass. Rinse or wipe with a damp soft cloth instead, and your finish will last longer.
If they are solid metal, yes. We strip the old finish and plate polished nickel, brass or chrome. Some faucets have plastic parts that can't be plated, and photos help us check that first.
The shop is open Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM and Saturday from 9 AM to 2 PM. We're closed on Sunday. Shipments are received Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM Pacific.
Usually, yes. Send a photo of the piece you want to match, or ship it along with your parts as a sample. We adjust the finish until the new work sits right next to the old.
When the work is done and inspected, we pack your parts in fresh materials and ship them back insured. If you're close to Oceanside, you're welcome to pick them up instead.
