Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.
View in VictorvilleWe take care of metal plating for Victorville customers who ship parts to our Oceanside shop. Aviation and logistics businesses, shops, ranch owners and homeowners in the Victor Valley get their metal refinished and sent back insured.
Route 66, airplanes and the Mojave River.
Drive up the Cajon Pass and the Victor Valley opens up, with Victorville spread along the Mojave River. Travelers once rolled through on Route 66, and the Route 66 museum on D Street still celebrates them. Out by the old George Air Force Base, now the Southern California Logistics Airport, airliners are parked, stored and maintained in the dry air.
Victor Valley customers mail everything to us. Start with photos, and we price the job in writing. Your box rides down the pass by ground, usually overnight, and comes back the same way insured after our team has stripped, finished and checked every piece.
Aviation and logistics businesses send brackets, fittings and equipment parts. Ranch and property owners send gates, latches and lanterns. Homeowners send outdoor lights and fixtures, and Route 66 fans send old signs and memorabilia for restoration.
Victorville usually orders powder coating, refurbishing and electroless nickel plating, plus chrome plating and nickel plating for homes and collectors.

Aviation and logistics work around the airport creates steady demand for durable finishes. Brackets, guards and fittings come in for powder coating or electroless nickel. Warehouse equipment from the area's distribution centers needs the same kind of tough coating.
Then there is the history. Collectors of old highway memorabilia send gas station signs, emblems and diner fixtures, and we strip and refinish what can be saved. Families on big lots toward Apple Valley and Hesperia send gate latches, mailbox posts and porch lights that years of blowing grit have dulled.
See the price before you ship a thing.
Snap a few photos from different angles and tell us the finish you have in mind. You'll get a written quote and a realistic lead time. Standard work takes 3 to 5 weeks, and expedited orders are possible when the schedule allows.
Victorville customers ship to us in four simple steps.
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.
Metal Finishing Gallery
A look at recent work from our Oceanside shop: plated hardware, lighting, hospitality and casino pieces, marine fittings and industrial parts.
From custom builders to industrial manufacturers, our clients trust us to deliver the same result every time.
One shop, one set of tanks and one inspection standard. Every part from Victorville is plated in this building.
Southern California's metal plating and finishing shop since 1989.
High desert boxes come down the Cajon Pass and are generally here the next day. Tape over openings on hollow parts so sand doesn't spill out and scratch other pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Victorville customers usually ask about these things.
We coat many equipment parts in powder coat or electroless nickel. Tell us how the part is used and any spec it must meet, and we confirm in the quote what we can provide.
Often, yes. Chrome stool rings, napkin holders, pump trim and similar pieces are usually steel or pot metal under the old plating. We strip them, repair small pits, and plate nickel and chrome. Pot metal with deep cracks may not be saved, and we say so up front.
Many can. Metal signs can be stripped, repaired and refinished. Enamel and painted areas need special care, so send photos of both sides and we tell you what's possible.
Usually. Grit wears through paint and soft finishes first. We strip what is left, treat any rust and refinish in powder coat, which shrugs off the Victor Valley wind far better than spray paint. Send photos with rough sizes so we can quote.
Yes. Large orders can come on a pallet by freight. Let us know before it ships and include a packing list. Our receiving hours are Monday to Friday, 8 to 4 Pacific.
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.
