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

Edmonton finishers quote time per job. Ask about preparation and the batch schedule.

Ask the shop

3 questions worth asking

  1. Q1

    What is your minimum charge per lot and per order?

  2. Q2

    How much will the coating add to my part's size?

  3. Q3

    Can you mask threads, bores and contact points?

Questions

Anodizing and plating FAQ

What should I send for a plating quote?

Send a drawing, metal grade, quantity and the finish specification. Include photos showing rust, old coatings and any damage.

How should I prepare parts for delivery?

Ask the shop what cleaning it expects and how to pack the parts. Confirm whether stripping or rust removal is included before doing it yourself.

What should I say about close fits?

Mark threads, bores, contact points and sizes that must stay exact. Ask how the proposed coating affects those areas and which need masking.

Good to know

  • Name the sizes that must stay exact and ask how the coating affects them.
  • No Edmonton shop we checked posts prices for this. Send a request to compare quotes.
