Absolutely beautiful. Seeing this labor intensive process, it is understandable why chrome plating is expensive. That doesn't even consider the HazMat costs associated with operating with all the chemicals involved.
Thanks for showing us your plating shop. Very cool! Most places would never show their shop in fear of, well... the fear-mongers. -People that live in fantasy land that believe the whole world should be like their sterile little office cubicle. I'm looking to have my wheels re-plated. Looking forward to giving you guys a call very soon!
i just got my wheels done here and let me tell u they did a beauiful job..didnt take long at all...i wouldnt go any where else....got them done 3/25/16
Ive been in the plating business for 35 years and never heard someone falling into a tank ever. Even if some did fall into a tank, all plating facilities have a safety protocol and emergency showers for protection of personnel. The tanks are heated but not boiling. Yes, plating is an aggressive industrial procedure. And all precautions are used for the the safety of people and enviroment.
Haha these ppl worried about falling in. I never heard of that but I bet it has happend. They should be worried about all the different acids we deal with like hydroflouric acid. As well as many others. There's a lot of nasty stuff in plating. They also might be interested in the fact gold platers deal with cyanide and have to be really attentive in a shop with cyanide and hydrochloric acid. Because the two mixed create the famous death chamber gas. Once that gas is let off you're dead in 30 to 45 mins and the fire Department is the only one with the anecdote. Usually they only have so many shots. Its a crazy job. Thats why I wrap cars now. I live in AZ and summers in a plating shop arr ridiculous at 5 in the morning within seconds your drenched with sweat. And steaming tanks and fumes. Kinda shitty. But I do love to plate.
I worked in a chrome shop once. I was a buffer, I put the metal through the sand and polishing wheels to get them ready for the tanks. Its not an easy job.
Yes, this process is copper, nickel, chrome. The first wheel you see is copper plated. The second one is nickel plated, which he then puts it into the chrome solution. The gold coating is purely the chrome solution itself and is not a cosmetic alternative. Hope this helps :)
Looks very expensive, it is. I did have many polished steel roses I made chrome plated and sold them for Valentine's/Single Awareness day in order to buy a mandrel bender to make race car roll cages and they were GORGEOUS!!! I still have one of the plated roses 20 years later...
I used to work in a factory where they had a chrome plating department. I know that working in an area like that can be very hazardous to one's health. The vats the factor had were very large and a person could fit and I actually remember someone who fell in.
yes, metal plating is an aggressive process - but note, the tanks are made of plastics and / or have a heavy duty liner. we process 300 wheels a day and what you hear does not damage the wheels.
Metal Plating and handle\ing is an aggressive procedure , all tanks are lined with thick plastic liners and what you hear as banging is the tooling rack. this rack (the tool that is holding the wheel) serves as a bumper to protect the wheel
no problem im the one with the maruader wheels u tell daniel thank you he did a great job i i told all my club members...u all make sure u dont forget about me...
Seeing that these tanks are made from plastic is it possible to use aluminum tanks or would they react to chrome stripping / activating and nickel plating? Watched this video so many times, hooked! Brillaint work
Plastic as custom is complicated as plastic finishing is meant for production runs. There are two methods : #1 - conductive paint application (silver being the best ) then electroless copper then you go to the regular Plating process. Using bright nickle Plating then chrome Plating Plastic needs to be strip to a virgin state with out warping.
+No Kuffin1017 on desktop computer there are captions explaining each step. It doesn't show up on mobile devices. I'm going to add "cards" that show up Mobil
Metal finishing is an aggressive procedure. Requires manufacturing handling. Wheels aren't damage due to all containers made of plastic or the tanks have a poly liner. - gloves are wash to avoid cross contamination
Shop is in Santa Ana, CA, USA ... Where there are people who work hard in the PLATING industry. YOU should see what hard work metal polishing is. We got a video on that too. The La Habra shop polished 700 to a 1000 wheels a day.
hi guys . nice work important . when working with acid and caustic solutions fold the last 2-3 inches of your gloves back over its self . this creates a large V where acids / liquids get caught/pool rather than running down your glove and off the back . and when you lower your hand it runs back out .
how come the wheels still get chromed in the spots that r in contact with the holders/rigs/whatever they're called u use to put them in and out of the tanks?
Can copper plated wheels be clear powder coated? I'm asking because normally they use a primer first and then put the color coat on, but since I want the copper to be visible a primer is out of the question, unless there's a clear primer.
wtf at 3:30 the part pulled out looks like it is chrome plated,i thought that was the chrome bath but i guess the cleaner is so shiny and good it made that nickle look like chrome but im still confused because it looked like the exact same finish as the final product at 7:00?
Yup, the chrome part of the plating process is sort of like a protective clear coat. Most of the finish you see in chrome plating is the nickel plate that came before it.
Hi great video. Question: How do I clean out bolt holes after chroming ? Seems to be a yellow residue left behind making some bolts hard to screw in. I already broke one bolt. I don't have tap set and I think just need to get the gunk out. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
toothbrush or small bottle brush on an electric drill. But it's always best to finish off by running the correct thread tap through it to make sure the thread is OK.Even better is to close off the bolt holes beforehand with silly putty or something.
@@westbay5858 overall are you happy with the work ? To lose a customer over a simple mistake is pretty bad , was this problem not corrected by the shop ? If the shop cares about you as a customer it would be handled . Just curious if there's more to the story , I'm bout to get into the chrome plating business and want to improve where others mess up ...
A few questions 1. Price 2. Will chrome plating rims mess up tire guage sensors that display tire pressure in the car dashboard. 3. Can you do vossen rims? 4. How much is shipping there and back usually. Thanks,
metal finishing a definitely an aggressive process and does have metal finishing sounds. But note that all the tanks are make of plastic and or lined with a plasitc liners. Even though aluminum is considered a soft metal, aluminum alloy - this metal can handle grinding, polishibg and plating procedures. If aluminum handles rotation on the road, freeway, and supporting your vehicle...it can handle metal finishing.
Metal finishing is an aggressive process and yes there is noise in the procedure. No wheel is damage because the tanks have a protective liner and or made of plastic.
We have the air cleaning system available - fume scrubbers and hepa filters. These are check weekly and monthly. We do a smoke test and document with pictures the results. All documents are submitted to Air Quality Agency.
CHROME PLATING PROCESS - Dip, Wash, Dip, Wash, Dip Wash..... Any one can chrome plate. Is this all we need to know. Thanks for all that great information.
Hey, Aliciachrome I have a friend (Chevy Suburban) with 22x9.5 inch One-Piece wheels whose having pealing problems on the inside of the wheel which is causing air leakage, what do you recommend, buy a new set of wheels or re-chrome them.
All used chemicals are run through best available waste treatment process. Very regulated by the county health department. We log daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually. These reports are reviewed by epa and air pollution. All untreated waste is hauled away for a fee and treated or recycled.
Is this Hexavalent or Trivalent chromium process? I heard in CA you can't use the higher quality process due to EPA regulations. Do they do bumpers too?
Unless it colored chrome, the actual chrome coating is clear...like a clear coat on a paint job...the "shiny chrome" people talk about is actually the Bright Nickel coating before the chrome
I would love to learn how to do that 2 sets of my Wheels would deafly be Chrome to the Max that's for sure for my truck how much is it to do a set of wheels please comment back
The biggest problem is after having the product metal in the tank before it starts to rust , Is major solution needed for this , who to store over a year without any deterration , something easy on off ideals are sold at chemithon surface finishing Portland oregon I would imagine
no Brazil (brazinza) seria uma duzia de licença ambiental e de funcionamento municipal (6 iniciais e mais de 2 anos pra tentar conseguir) pra funcionar esta fabrica,,, assim ninguem da conta da burocracia e não arrisca....
copper plating with a copper buff to mirror it out. very nice but this finish tarnishes and requires clear coating or you have to polish it out like aluminum
+Angel Santos we get alot of request for polish copper plating on wheels, however this finish in not recommended for durabity. Copper finished tarnishes pretty quickly so you have to hand polish every month. You can also apply a clear lacquer or acrylic clear but even then the wheel may stay shiny for a few years in a museum like setting. as long as your aware that copper plating tarnishes.
chrome plating here is an (electroplating) electro chemical deposition process which goes into actual plating process tanks than a series of rinses/neutralizers in order to not cross contaminate the baths. Spray on paint is organic spray application with suspended color pigmentation mix with adhesives and then possibly baked or cured with a clear coat (possibly) Spray on maybe an excellent option on plastics, low stressed metal parts, interior parts that are not rubbed on, ornaments, grills...or for a display only use vehicle.
Yeah. Metal polishing and plating is an aggressive procedure. We process 100 to 300 wheels a day. Impact on wheels do not dents because the tanks are plastic or Lined w rubber liners.
Unfortunately mine got F after few months in the garage,chrome started to peel in some spots and they didn't clean it enough 8nside and 3 put of 4 was loosing air, had to take the tires off and clean them inside, they stopped replaying to my emails
… take it first to semi - bright nickel then go to the bright nickel. This will ensures a greater safeguard against electrolysis of the substrate metal by creating additional anodic system than using just the bright nickel alone.
I am curious...Does that wheel that is copper plated stay the same? even if it's not put in some kind of fluid to improve plating... Thank you for help...
Beautiful work .Do you do old 1940s bicycle parts ? I'm restoring an old bicycle and there's no one in England that's capable of the job. I know it'll be expensive but ive no other choice. It involves nuts and bolts ,peddle cranks,handlebar brackets etc. Sadly no company in the UK can take this job on even though I do the grinding and polishing myself.
dont grind or polish anything yourself, you will just cause more problems for the plater, i always use ULTRACHROME in Osborne park Western Australia, fantastic results>
What's Triple Chrome Plating? Does that mean it has to go threw the whole process three times? What's the advantage of triple chrome plating? Thank you. Great Video!
just wondering, I want to get my 1993 mustang cobra intake chromed, now could the heat from plating cause the intake to warp, I understand when its on the motor it takes heat, it just I am totally out in left field when it comes to plating, thanks for the video ya got me HYPNOTIZED:)
heydude76 No, the heat required to warp a manifold is far beyond the heating during electroplating. In most cases the solutions are only heated to a temperature of around 150 degrees just to speed up some of the acid processes. not all the solutions are heated. A lot of the tanks were rinse tanks, usually demineralized water. Electroplating would be perfectly safe for your intakes.
No problem, Im looking to start a gold plating business and also offer a few different coatings as well but I learned that the chemicals for plating real chrome is a little far more extreme than I want to deal with. When you send your intakes in make sure they are plating real chrome. Their are other platings that mimic chrome and look great but don't hold up as well. Real chrome is a very durable and corrosion resistant metal. Sometimes I see shops offering a chrome plating only to find out that it is a tin/nickel plating. Also another chrome called copy krome. While they still look great they won't last as long as the real chrome. I would like to mention that their is nothing wrong with these other coatings just that the chrome will out last the others under extreme or harsh conditions. My personal favorite is black nickel plating but I have heard that it does not hold up very well, Im hoping to give it a try on a motorcycle fender to see how long it will last before I have to have it replated. I got a little long winded but I hope this helps.
this totally helps as I talked to the plating company and the guy did say something about the mimic chrome plating, he said it is just as good and bottom line easier for him..... I am taking in the intake tomorrow but I will tell him REAL chrome and will pay for the extra time and effort, its a 1993 mustang Cobra intake and I tried to polish it myself and I totally understand it is a bitch of a job to chrome it up so this will probably be a costly adventure but I want it to look the best it can vanity costs sooooo much money!!
Absolutely beautiful. Seeing this labor intensive process, it is understandable why chrome plating is expensive. That doesn't even consider the HazMat costs associated with operating with all the chemicals involved.
I have a hard time just lifting a spare tire out of my trunk. This man does this all day long with rims twice the size as mine, amazing.
Just got to be a man!
Its ok to be a man dont listen to your school teachers
Did plating for 12 years. A lot of custom parts for show cars and bikes. It’s very labor intense. Polishing after copper is the trick.
Amazing, the technicians must feel proud when they have finished a product each time 😉👌

Do U have a number I want to get my rims gold
Can you powder coat over chrome like a two tone and not damaged the chrome in the process
I worked in a chrome shop once. I was a buffer, I put the metal through the sand and polishing wheels to get them ready for the tanks. Its not an easy job.
Hardest job !
Those copper wheels where off a 3rd gen Escalade. I love those wheels!
Yes, this process is copper, nickel, chrome.
The first wheel you see is copper plated. The second one is nickel plated, which he then puts it into the chrome solution.
The gold coating is purely the chrome solution itself and is not a cosmetic alternative.

So basically its acid clean, rinse, plate and repeat? Until you’ve coated with copper nickel and chromium

Juan Agosto Yeah but sadly it will oxidize.

Proper triple plating chrome. Awesome.
Spoke to our local chroming shop, they don't recommend copper plating on wheels as it fades with in 3 to 6 months. Is it true?
What's the goldest colour you can plate, without actually gold plating it?
Most likely brass plating. Brass can be polished to look like yellow gold.

I am taking in the intake tomorrow but I will tell him REAL chrome and will pay for the extra time and effort, its a 1993 mustang Cobra intake and I tried to polish it myself and I totally understand it is a bitch of a job to chrome it up so this will probably be a costly adventure but I want it to look the best it can vanity costs sooooo much money!!
which paramater can use to make plating process?
Wow lot more steps than I thought.
Hi, Can you tell me how to get matte or satin finish?
Spent 10 million dollars at chemithon surface finishing Portland oregon buying buffs, compound they have endless supply
to avoid cross contamination of the process tanks. that is why water rinse tanks are so important.
sice chromový kola nemusím, ale kouká se na to hezky, když se to dělá... ;)
