Where the finish is first.  

The Finish Is First... But It All Starts With The Customer.

We recently Googled ourselves and came up with a bunch of images of various projects we've completed over the years... but that isn't what made us smile.

They are all great projects - furniture, fixtures, art installations, large objects, small cast objects -  and they all were done to our highest professional standard. The standard you've come to expect from you the Los Angeles metal plating company since 1950.

What made us smile were all of those satisfied customers we were able to impress with how much we were able to add to their metal object - character, style, color, texture - value.

We were able to do it in record time thanks to our large facilities, decades of experience, and expert staff.

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.

Taking a Tree Trunk from Porous to Polished

At Stutzman Plating, we often get unusual art projects that sculptors want us to plate for them.  You'll see some of these fine art pieces on our Facebook or Instagram pages, or perhaps you will follow us on Pinterest.

In this instance we were asked to nickel plate a tree trunk sculpture that was to become a custom table base.

This tree trunk sculpture was cast out of solid bronze. The casting was extremely heavy, weighing over 200 pounds and required special set up. Of course, that's no problem for us at Stutzman.

The client, a renowned designer here in Los Angeles, wanted the trunk to be plated in a highly reflective mirror polished nickel. The bronze casting was porous, a common occurrence with castings of this size, creating pockets within the trunk's structure.  The porosity of the bronze trapped the plating solution within the casting and resulted in bubbles surfacing to the top which disturbed the plating. We had to come up with a solution to make sure the finished nickel plating was polished and smooth like liquid mercury. 

The solution was to fill these porous areas with copper and replated the sculpture surface to achieve a perfect mirror finish of polished nickel plating.

And as you can see, the results are fantastic!  An art object that's useful, and definitely a conversation starter....
