Questions
Type II is thinner: 0.00007 to 0.001 inch at one Ontario finisher. Type III, hard coat, runs 0.0005 to 0.0045 inch there.
Finishers run parts in batches, so most charge a minimum per lot or order. Group parts into one batch to spread it.
Fast once you're in. One Ontario zinc plater turns orders in under 48 hours. A Quebec plater quotes 5 working days.
Decorative chrome can take 2 to 6 weeks or more at one Ontario shop. Industrial chrome on worn shafts runs 3 to 5 business days at a Canadian plater.
No. Anodizing is for aluminum and titanium. Steel gets zinc plating, galvanizing, paint or powder coat.
