Yes, this is real plating. This isn't vacuum metalizing, or spray on chrome, this is a chemical and electrical adhesion process. We add acid copper, bright nickel, chrome, 24K gold, and brass.

The process is no different than metal plating and will last up to 10+ years if properly maintained. All parts which have copper plating have a 5 year warranty and all other parts have 1 year warranty.

Almost all materials can be plated, this includes plastic, epoxy, ABS, pot-metal, steel, metal, etc! We are limited by size. Once parts start getting smaller than 3 inches we run into issues with racking. However, it all depends on the part.

We offer mirror finish Chrome, Nickel, Copper, Brass, and 24K Gold​. We also offer these finishes in matte, and brushed.

We treat our non-conductive parts through a chemical process before continuing with standard plating. This chemical process makes non-conductive surfaces - conductive. After this, we plate parts as if they are metal - applying copper, nickel and the final finish (chrome, 24K gold, brass).

We usually ship UPS and your Shipping and Handling cost includes shipping, packaging, and insurance to cover the cost of your parts in case of damage. We are not responsible for shipping damages.

Plating is often times more expensive than replacing your current parts. We often recommend looking to buy your parts already chromed if possible. Plating is usually more cost effective for rare or parts you cannot replace.

Yes, we do require payment up front for all orders. Invoices are sent via email or text and can be paid with credit card or bank transfer.

On average we estimate 2-4 weeks turn around time based on the job but this can change based on many variables. All turn around times are estimates.
