Plating and Polishing for Ogden

Where the railroads met, industry stayed.

Ogden grew up as the great railroad junction of the Intermountain West, and Historic 25th Street still leads to the old station. An Air Force base just to the south supports a wide network of aerospace suppliers. Outdoor gear and bicycle companies have moved in as well, drawn by the mountains at the edge of town.

Ogden shops reach us in three steps. A drawing or photo by email. A written quote back from us. Then the shipment, which usually takes two to four business days by ground. We plate in scheduled batches, inspect, and return the order insured. Pallets are welcome.

Supplier shops ask about coatings for machined parts and hardware. Product companies ask about finishes for buckles, fittings and small components. Owners of buildings on 25th Street ask about restoring original metalwork.

What We Do

Plating Services in Ogden

Ogden work is mostly functional: electroless nickel plating, tumble finishes and powder coating for suppliers and product makers, with vintage nickel plating and brass plating for historic buildings.

Chrome and Nickel Plating for Ogden

Machined fittings and station era brass.

Outdoor products live in dirt, snow and sweat. Small steel and aluminum components need a finish that will not flake. We tumble parts to smooth the edges, then plate or coat them. A sample batch always comes first, so the look and feel are approved before a full run.

The railroad years left Ogden with handsome commercial buildings. Their brass door pulls, kick plates, stair rails and light fixtures respond well to polishing and replating. We aim for a finish that looks maintained, in keeping with a building more than a century old.

    Why Ogden Sends Its Plating to DMC

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Suppliers and building owners in Ogden ask these.

    Yes. Buckles, fittings, pins and brackets are tumbled to remove burrs, then plated or powder coated. We run a sample batch for approval before the full lot. Send a few extra parts for the sample run, because tumbled parts cannot be untumbled.

    We take machined and formed parts in a range of finishes. Send the drawing and finish callout, and we will tell you clearly whether it fits our shop. We do not claim certifications we lack, and we would rather turn a job down than guess.

    It can. Pulls, plates, rails and fixtures are polished or replated and sealed with clear lacquer. Pieces go back in place looking cared for. Door pulls on a busy entrance wear fastest, so plan to redo those more often than the rest.

    By planning it in batches and inspecting throughout the run. Finish details stay on file, so a reorder months later matches the first lot. Give us your part number and we file the finish against it for the next order.

    Brass, bronze, copper, steel, stainless, aluminum and zinc. The media and time change with the metal, which is one reason we test a sample first. Mixed metals in one batch can discolor each other, so we run them apart.

    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.
