Come to Stutzman When You Want to Get Creative With Metal Plating

Our clients are the best.  When they bring us a project, they want us to use all of our expertise, our creativity, and our resources to make their metal shine just that much brighter, or deeper, or darker.  Whatever suits the creative brief we're given,  our experts at Stutzman Plating are dedicated to bringing out the best in your project.  For Example: 

This item is called a drum table and was done for a furniture designer in Beverly Hills. The Base metal is solid brass, and was refinished in polished brass. A piece of glass goes over the top.

These are decorative vases and dishes for a local design company called Branch Jewelry in Venice, CA. Base metal is solid brass and parts are plated in polished brass.

This is called a wave table for Nashif Custom Design and is plated in a brushed bronze finish. It is a solid steel table base and in the pic it appears upside down. When turned over a piece of wood would rest on the flat part as the table top. 

This is also a table base for Nashif Custom Design, base metal is steel, and is plated in a brushed brass finish.

Creative Metal Plating For All Occasions!

At Stutzman Plating, we metal plate all sorts of unusual items far beyond what you would think for a metal plating company in Los Angeles. Here are some samples of projects that have come trhough our door recently:


First off, we have something from the Aviation industry with a base metal of Aluminum. This is a cone for an airplane propeller (you can see where the propellers would attach). This cone is being used by a designer for either a custom furnishing piece or art installment. These will be polished nickel plated.

These pictures to the left are both of raw unfinished gauge bezels for a boat-they are the circular exterior for gauges on the dashboard. These gauges will be transformed from a base metal of brass to a shiny metal surface of polished chrome.

These are the angles of table legs. The base metal is steel and they are going to plated in dark bronze for a designer making custom tables.

You can see our Bronze and other proprietary finishes on our website here.
