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.
