Before you call

Anodizing and plating: the short version

Anodizing toughens and colours aluminum. Plating adds a thin metal layer: zinc, chrome or nickel.

When you need it

  • Aluminum parts that need colour or wear resistance
  • Steel hardware that needs rust protection
  • Chrome or nickel for looks on car and bike parts
  • Stainless parts that need passivation

What to send the shop

  • A drawing with the finish spec and colour
  • Steel parts free of rust and scale
  • Your own packaging for the return
  • How many parts per batch
  • Areas to mask

Typical lead time

Brampton shops quote time per job. Ask when you send your request.

Questions

Anodizing and plating FAQ

What should I put on the drawing?

Name the coating specification, colour and areas to mask. Mark threads, bores and contact points that must keep their size.

What should I ask about preparation?

Describe the current surface and ask which cleaning steps are included. Confirm packaging, minimum lot charges and return shipping.

Good to know

  • Mark the sizes that must stay exact and ask about masking those surfaces.
  • No Brampton shop we checked posts prices for this. Send a request to compare quotes.
