Metal Plating Services in Eugene

Track Town has a soft spot for old things.

Eugene is a university town at the south end of the Willamette Valley, known for running and for doing things its own way. The surrounding area built motorhomes for decades, and vintage trailer restoration is popular. Wineries fill the hills to the south and west. Older neighborhoods have homes from the 1910s and 20s.

To work with us from Eugene, email photos and a short description. We reply with a written quote. Boxes out of Eugene are usually with us within two to four business days. We strip, plate and inspect in our shop and insure the box on its way back up the interstate.

Trailer and RV restorers ask about window frames, handles and trim. Homeowners ask about hardware and lighting. Wineries ask about tasting room fixtures. Bicycle frame builders, of which Oregon has many, ask about plating lugs and small parts.

What We Do

Plating Services in Eugene

Eugene mixes practical and vintage: chrome plating and metal polishing for trailers, nickel plating and brass plating for homes, copper plating for wineries, and refurbishing for garden iron.

Chrome, Nickel and Brass Plating in Eugene

Trailer trim, garden gates and hand built bike parts.

A vintage trailer is covered in small metal parts: door handles, light bezels, window cranks, awning hardware. Most are aluminum or pot metal. We polish the aluminum by hand and repair and chrome the pot metal. The winter rainy months are when most restorers pull parts and send them.

Chrome on a steel bicycle frame is a classic touch. Fork crowns, lugs, stays. Builders send us raw steel parts for nickel and chrome before paint. Eugene gardens also produce plenty of rusty iron: gates, benches, arbors. Those we strip, repair and powder coat.

    Why Eugene Sends Its Plating to DMC

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Eugene restorers and homeowners ask these.

    Yes. Most are pot metal. We strip them, repair pits with copper and replate nickel and chrome. Aluminum trim is polished by hand instead. Send photos so we can sort which is which.

    We do. Steel lugs, crowns, dropouts and stays can be plated before final assembly or paint. Tell us which areas must stay bare for brazing or which get masked for paint lines.

    Start with a sound finish. Thick plating or powder coating leaves no bare steel for rust to begin. After that, keep things dry where you can and touch up chips quickly.

    Yes. We strip and blast them, repair what is loose and bake on powder. Size is the limit for shipping, so send measurements. Small gates, brackets and furniture parts travel fine.

    We do. Copper and brass taps, rails, lights and hardware are polished or plated and sealed. Send them in your slow season and they return before the busy months. Copper left unsealed behind a bar will darken within weeks where hands touch it.

    Send us a few photos of the part from different angles, along with what it is and the finish you want. We look them over and send a written quote, usually within 24 business hours. It's free, and you're under no obligation to go ahead.

    Standard orders take 3 to 5 weeks from the day your parts arrive. If you're on a deadline, ask about expedited service. When the schedule allows, we can finish in 5 to 7 business days.

    Yes. Our workmanship is covered for 12 months. If something isn't right with the finish we put on, call us and we'll make it right.
