The ultimate finish for a brilliant shine, exceptional durability, and corrosion protection
Chrome plating, or chromium plating, is a finishing process that applies a thin layer of chromium onto a metal substrate. This iconic finish is renowned for its brilliant, mirror-like luster, which instantly elevates the appearance of any component. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, chrome plating provides a range of functional benefits that make it one of the most popular and durable finishing options available.
You get it, the subject of chrome plating is just one of those things in life you have to trust a professional to do. So feel free to skip all the reading and click the button below to get a quote now, or scroll down to learn more.

The copper layer improves adhesion and leveling, while the nickel provides the crucial foundation for corrosion protection and a bright finish. The final chromium layer delivers the characteristic hardness and brilliant shine, as well as superior resistance to tarnish and wear. This multi-layer approach ensures maximum durability and a long-lasting, high-quality result.
Chrome plating is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it an excellent choice for parts exposed to the elements, such as automotive bumpers, motorcycle parts, and marine hardware. Its extreme hardness provides a high level of wear resistance, protecting components from scratches and abrasion. We offer both decorative chrome plating for a polished, brilliant finish and hard chrome plating (also known as industrial chrome), which is a thicker, more durable coating used for industrial applications to reduce friction and improve wear resistance on parts like pistons, molds, and tooling. Our meticulous process ensures a uniform and flawless finish that not only looks spectacular but also provides the ultimate in protection and performance.
