Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.
View ServiceWe do metal plating for Wildomar horse owners, rural homeowners, builders and small businesses who send parts to our Oceanside shop. Gate hardware, barn pieces, fixtures and outdoor metal return refinished and insured.
Rural lots between two busier cities.
Wildomar sits between Lake Elsinore and Murrieta, and it has kept much of its rural feel. Larger lots with horses, chickens and workshops are common, especially toward the hills, while newer tracts fill in near the freeway. The Santa Rosa Plateau rises to the west. Summers are hot and dry, and winter nights can be chilly.
Wildomar parts ship to us by ground and generally arrive in one business day. Send photos for a written quote. Our crew cleans everything to bare metal, applies the new finish, checks it and boxes it up for an insured ride home.
Horse owners send gate latches, barn door hardware and hitching rings. Rural homeowners send mailboxes, porch lights and wrought iron. Builders send rails for new homes, and small businesses send signs and fixtures.
Wildomar mostly asks for powder coating and refurbishing, plus nickel plating, chrome plating and patinas for home pieces.

On Wildomar's rural lots, metal works for a living. Gate latches get slammed, barn door rollers grind through dust, and chicken run hardware rusts in the morning dew. We strip rust and powder coat these pieces in tough, dark colors that hide dirt and handle sun, and we mask moving parts so they keep moving.
Closer to the freeway, newer homes come with builder fixtures that owners want to upgrade, and builders send stair rails and hardware before installation. Long gravel driveways often end in a mailbox post or gate light that's seen better days, and those come back looking new.
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.
Out on the rural side of the 15, here's the routine.
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.

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 Wildomar is plated in this building.

A box from Wildomar is often here a day after it ships. Brush off mud, hay and straw from barn hardware before packing it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wildomar horse owners and homeowners ask us these.
Yes. Tracks and hangers are stripped of rust and powder coated, and we mask or remove the roller bearings so they keep rolling smoothly. If the rollers themselves are worn out, we'll tell you so you can replace them while the track is being finished. Long tracks may need freight.
Dark colors like black, dark bronze and charcoal hide dust and fingerprints well. Textured finishes hide scratches too. Ranch owners often pick the same color for every gate on the property.
Yes. Rust and flaking paint come off down to clean steel, any bent pickets are straightened, and a fresh powder coat goes on. Sections longer than a parcel box can handle ride by freight.
Yes. Label each home, and we return rails finished and sorted. It saves time on install day.
Yes. Hinges, latches, feeder brackets and small frames are stripped and powder coated, which resists the morning dew and constant cleaning much better than bare or painted steel. Remove any wire mesh first and send the metal parts in a box.
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.
