We are a member in good standing of the Metal Finishing Association of Northern California, AESF (American Electroplating and Surface Finishing), and NAMF (National Association of Metal Finishing.

We do not provide on-site polishing. All parts must be taken apart and brought in for review.

All parts are polished by hand; large parts greater than 6′ to 8′ are near the limit of our capabilities. Size can also be determining factor in which finished are available.

Coatings must be removed (paint). Previously anodized parts will need to be chemically stripped prior to being re-anodized.

When parts are coated, hydrogen atoms can diffuse into the metal, filling up atomic voids in the structure; this inclusion of hydrogen changes the chemical structure of the metal to one that is more brittle. Baking is a process where the metal is subjected to heat in order to remove the spare hydrogren atoms from the metal.
