Metal Restoration for Amarillo Homes and Businesses

Cattle country on the Mother Road.

Amarillo is the capital of the Texas Panhandle. Cattle and feed yards drive the economy, along with energy and an aircraft assembly plant by the airport. Route 66 came through on Sixth Avenue, now a district of antique shops and cafes. A row of half buried cars west of town is known around the world.

Amarillo has its own way of doing business: direct and no fuss. We like that. Email photos, get a written quote, ship the box. Ground transit usually takes two to four business days. We handle the work, check it over and insure the box going home.

Dealers along Sixth Avenue ask about lamps, signs and old chrome. Ranchers and feed yard operators ask about gate and equipment hardware. Suppliers to the aircraft plant ask about coatings. Homeowners in the older Wolflin and Plemons areas ask about original fixtures.

What We Do

Plating Services in Amarillo

Amarillo asks for chrome plating, nickel plating and refurbishing for antiques, powder coating for ranch equipment, electroless nickel plating for suppliers, and brass plating for homes.

Metal Finishing Services for Amarillo

Sixth Avenue finds, corral latches and Wolflin light fixtures.

Antique shops along the old highway turn up great metal: soda fountain parts, gas pump trim, cash registers, lamps. Much of it is plated steel or pot metal that has rusted or pitted. We repair and replate it, and we can stop short of perfect if a little age suits the piece.

Panhandle weather is rough. Wind, hail, hard freezes and summer heat all in the same year. Gate latches, hinges and chute hardware need a finish that takes hits. Powder coating over blasted steel is our usual recommendation, in a textured color that hides scrapes.

    From Amarillo to Our Shop

    Amarillo boxes head west by ground. A few days later, they are here.

    01

    Get your quote first

    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.

    02

    Pack it like it will be dropped

    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.

    03

    Insure and send the tracking

    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.

    04

    Approve, then we ship back

    We send photos when the work is done. Once you approve and pay, your parts go back to you packed the same careful way.

    Plating Questions from Amarillo

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Amarillo dealers and ranchers ask these.

    Yes. Rust means the old plating has failed. We strip it, remove the rust, repair pits with copper and replate with nickel and chrome. Thin sheet metal that has rusted through is harder, so send photos.

    We do. Trim rings, nozzles holders, handles, stool bases and similar parts are stripped and replated in chrome or nickel. Glass, rubber and painted panels should be removed first. Fountain and diner parts are often pot metal, which pits from inside and needs repair before plating.

    Powder coating is the most durable choice we offer for outdoor steel. We blast and pretreat the metal first. Zinc rich primers and textured top coats are worth asking about for the roughest duty.

    Yes. Tell us how far to go. We can replate only the worst parts, polish lightly, or clean and clear coat the piece so it keeps the look of a survivor.

    We plate machined and formed parts in several finishes. Send drawings and requirements, and we will tell you honestly whether they fit our shop. We do not claim approvals we do not hold.

    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.
