We pride ourselves on our ability to match just about any color sample. If a color you have in mind is not listed above, don't worry. Bring your color sample to the shop and challenge us to match it.

**Antique can be done in brown or black depending on the look the customer wants. Almost any finish can be matched by us according to samples submitted by the customer. Sandblasting with lacquer offers a “painted look.”

IMPORTANT FACTS

The condition of the item (s) that you want to plate will determine the overall quality and appearance of the finished product. In other words, any imperfections in the item will be seen through the plating. Some items can be repaired or polished. This will be determined after inspection by Specialty Metal Finishing on a case-by-case basis.

We cannot plate non-conductive materials such as glass, plastic, wood, etc. However, if the non-conductive base already has an existing metallic coating, it can sometimes be plated. For example; Many of the chrome/plastic grilles in automobiles can be plated.

Items can be sent directly to us. Upon receipt we will assess your items and contact you with the quotes before performing any work on your item. BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER, E-MAIL ADDRESS AND THE BEST TIME OF DAY FOR US TO CALL.

Please make sure to properly package your items for shipping Wrap the parts individually and pack them securely.

We strongly suggest that you insure any items sent to us. Specialty Metal Finishing does not accept any responsibility for damages incurred through shipping.
