How Our Nickel Plating Process Works

We use both bright nickel and satin nickel processes, depending on your desired finish. Here’s what goes into each job:​

​

  1. Cleaning & Degreasing — removing oils, rust, and prior coatings

  2. Surface Preparation & Polishing — creating the perfect foundation

  3. Underplating (if needed) — copper or zinc for better adhesion

  4. Nickel Electroplating — precision-applied for smooth, even coverage

  5. Sealing & Finishing — optional clear coating for extra protection

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What’s the difference between nickel and chrome plating?

Nickel has a warmer, softer shine and can be used alone or as a base for chrome. Chrome is more reflective and often used on top of nickel for added durability and aesthetic.

Do you offer satin nickel finishes?

Yes — we offer both bright and satin nickel depending on your project's look and function.

Is nickel plating safe for food or skin contact?

Generally not without additional coatings. Let us know your application and we can advise the best process.
