Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.
View ServiceWe supply metal plating to North Las Vegas manufacturers, logistics companies, racers, military families and homeowners. Parts ship to our Oceanside, California shop by box or pallet and return finished and insured.
The working side of the valley.
North Las Vegas is its own city, and a practical one. Manufacturing plants and enormous warehouses fill its industrial parks, with more rising at the far north end. An Air Force base borders the city, the speedway is just up the interstate, and neighborhoods like Aliante have added thousands of homes.
For a plant or a shop in North Las Vegas, we work like any outside process vendor. Send the drawing and quantity, receive a written quote, ship the lot. Ground transit usually takes one to two business days. We finish in planned batches, inspect and return the parts insured and on a schedule you can plan around.
Manufacturers ask about coating runs of parts. Warehouse operators ask about carts, guards and hardware. Racers and fabricators near the speedway ask about chrome and powder coat. Military families and homeowners send keepsakes and fixtures.
North Las Vegas work is mostly functional: powder coating, electroless nickel plating and tumble finishes, with chrome plating and metal polishing for racing parts and nickel plating for homes.

Powder coating suits much of what industry here needs. Racks, brackets, housings and frames get stripped, blasted and pretreated, then coated in gloss, satin, matte or textured colors. Threads and contact points are masked. For close tolerance parts, electroless nickel protects without adding bulk.
Race teams and weekend builders want parts that look as good as they perform. Polished aluminum, chromed brackets, candy colored covers. Small parts ship easily. For families from the base, we polish and replate plaques, coins holders and presentation pieces, and send them on to the next posting if needed.

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.
North Las Vegas lots can ship as a few boxes or a full pallet.
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
Plants, racers and families in North Las Vegas ask these.
Yes. Many customers send recurring lots. After the first order we keep the finish details on file and follow them each time. Share your forecast and we will reserve capacity for it.
Gloss, satin, matte, textured, metallic and candy colors, plus clear powder over polished or plated metal. Send a color reference and we will match it as closely as the powder range allows.
We do. Brackets, levers, covers and trim in steel, stainless or aluminum can be plated or polished. Tell us if a part sees high heat, since that affects the finish we suggest.
Certainly. If orders come through before the work is done, send the new address. The finished pieces travel insured to wherever you are headed. Give us a date you expect to arrive and we hold the shipment until then if that is easier. Nothing sits on a doorstep that way.
We check parts through the run, not only at the end, looking at coverage, color and surface. If we see anything off, we stop and correct it before the rest of the lot continues.
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.
