Industrial Hard Chrome: Has excellent hardness (Rc68-74), wear resistance and erosion resistance. Has low coefficient of friction, and is resistant to heat. We specialize in polished Hard Chrome, a finish that enables certain operations to run more smoothly and adds longevity to the life of the part(s). The following list describes some of the applications and industries we serve.

New and Used Machine parts (from pins to machine rolls, including I.D. work)
Shaft/Cylinder repair
Plastic Extrusion equipment
Container Manufacturing and Food Processing parts
Labeling equipment

Decorative chrome: Takes in many applications; to describe it briefly, parts are first stripped to bare metal (this includes paint, rust, old chrome, etc.). We then carefully sand and polish each part, removing imperfections and creating a flawless or near flawless base metal surface. Copper plating and copper polishing follows the initial prep work, which leads to nickel plating, and finally the enduring chrome plated finish.

Nickel plating: We restore original nickel plated car parts, old stove parts , and house hold décor such as lamps etc. We do commercial nickel, which is not polished. Nickel finishes can vary, from polished nickel to satin finished nickel. We also do hand and rifle gun parts.

Copper Plating: We copper plate antiques and other items people want to look like copper. We do polished copper items and can also “antique” copper items. Antique copper is a darker finish with copper showing through.

Polishing: Stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, magnesium, and all types of metal. We can straighten and polish most stainless steel and aluminum automobile moldings.
