Questions

Anodizing and plating FAQ

How long have plating shops worked in Los Angeles?

Some for over a century. California Electroplating has plated parts since 1915. Chromal Plating Company has served customers since 1947.

Do Los Angeles platers take small orders?

Some do. Chromal Plating Company says it takes jobs from one piece to 10,000. Ask each shop for its minimum lot charge.

Anodizing or plating: which one?

Anodizing is for aluminum. Plating puts a thin metal layer on steel, brass or copper. The shop can tell you which fits.

Good to know

  • Name the spec if your drawing has one. It sets the steps and the price.
  • Ask about a minimum lot charge before you send one small part.
