How do I prepare for plating?

No surface preparation is required before shipping your parts to us. If you wish to do some preparation, please do NOT sandblast your parts! We will strip paint, rust and laquer from your parts, but please have them as free of grease as possible. All parts must be completely disassembled, and will be returned to you disassembled.

 

How do I pack my parts?

Please pack carefully! Use packing and wrapping material, and place small parts in a can or a box. Be sure to include a packing list in your shipment, with your name, address, phone number and special instructions (if any). Grills, radiator shells, and other large parts that can be easily damaged should be shipped in wooden boxes; we'll use your container to return your parts to you, once they have been plated. UPS is our preferred carrier, although you may ship by air, bus, truck, or parcel post. Be sure to adequately insure your parts and clearly mark your name and street address on each shipping container.

 

How do I get prices?

Prices quoted by picture, telephone or fax, are estimates only! Prices are largely determinted by the time required for each job. We must personally inspect each job before a final quote is determined. Pot metal and aluminum are more expensive to process than steel. Our minimum charge is $100 per order, and all parts are returned to you C.O.D. , including the cost of plating, handling, shipping, C.O.D. costs, insurance, etc.
