Chrome & plating

We can chrome most parts without a problem, from motorcycle parts to home decorative pieces.

Types of plating

Copper plating
A warm copper finish, and the base layer under nickel and chrome on softer metals.
Nickel plating
A bright, hard layer on its own, and the foundation for chrome.
Chrome plating
Mirror chrome, including triple chrome (copper, nickel, then chrome) for the deepest shine.
Brass plating
Classic brass for hardware, fixtures and decorative pieces. Clear coat suggested.

Pick the metal your part is made of to see the plating options.

Every plating we offer, with the process, the base metals it suits and the finishes available. Have a question about your part? Send us a message.
