Questions

Polishing FAQ

Who electropolishes in Denver?

Denver Metal Finishing lists electropolishing with anodizing and plating, from one piece to production runs.

Can a finishing shop polish and plate in one place?

Some can. Advanced Surface Technologies in Arvada burnishes parts and runs eight electroless nickel lines.

Good to know

  • Send a photo of the finish you want. Words like "bright" mean different things.
  • Say if the part gets plated after. The shop can plan both steps.
