Questions

Polishing FAQ

Who electropolishes stainless steel in New York City?

Control Electropolishing in Brooklyn has done precision surface finishing since 1959. Electropolishing smooths most stainless steels in a bath, without buffing.

Do plating shops here also polish?

Some do. Victoria Plating in the Bronx runs its own polishing department for parts from screws to brackets before plating.

Mirror or brushed?

Mirror shows every mark but looks bright. Brushed hides small scratches. Send a photo of the look you want.

Good to know

  • Send a close photo of the worst scratch. It shows how much work is needed.
  • Ask for the finish by name, like mirror or brushed, so quotes match.
