Metal Finishing Shop Serving Lubbock

Cotton, wind and a famous pair of glasses.

Lubbock is the hub of the Texas High Plains, surrounded by one of the largest cotton growing areas in the world. A big university anchors the city. Wine grapes have taken to the plains, and most Texas wine starts in vineyards near here. The wind rarely stops, and it carries red dust.

From Lubbock, send us an email with photos or part drawings. We answer with a written quote. Ground shipping usually takes two to four business days to reach the coast. After coating or plating and a full inspection, we insure the order for the trip back to West Texas.

Farmers, gin managers and equipment shops ask about protective coatings. Ranch families ask about tack, buckles and spurs. Wineries ask about tasting room fixtures. Homeowners near the university ask about older hardware and lighting.

What We Do

Plating Services in Lubbock

Lubbock keeps it practical with powder coating and refurbishing for equipment, nickel plating and silver plating for ranch gear, and copper plating or brass plating for tasting rooms and homes.

Chrome, Nickel and Brass Plating in Lubbock

Gin stand parts, trophy spurs and tasting room taps.

Blowing dust acts like sandpaper on paint. Equipment parts that are powder coated over blasted, pretreated steel hold up far better. We mask bearing seats and threads so parts go back together cleanly. The quiet months between harvest and planting are the usual time to send them.

Ranch gear from the plains has style. Spurs with silver overlay, engraved buckles, bits with fancy cheeks. We replate the worn silver or nickel and keep the engraving sharp. Wineries tend to ask for copper and brass with a clear seal, so fixtures stay warm in color without daily polishing.

    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.

    Between seasons. After ginning winds down, parts can be out for the 3 to 5 weeks our standard turnaround takes. Ship early in the break so there is margin before you need them.

    Better than paint by a wide margin. It is a thick, baked coating bonded to blasted metal. Nothing is immune to years of sand, but textured and matte powders hide wear well.

    Yes. We replate in silver or nickel and can leave the engraving darkened for contrast. Tell us whether they are for the arena or the display case. Buckles that will be worn get a heavier deposit than ones headed for a shadow box.

    We can age copper and brass by hand and seal the color. Or we can polish them bright and lacquer them. Send a photo of the room and the look you are after.

    Photos or a drawing, the metal if you know it, how many pieces and the finish you want. If there is a date you need them by, add that too.

    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.
