Painted & Chrome Plated

Plastic parts often require the aesthetic or conductive properties of metal. We handle the process from raw molding to the final finished look.

Perfect Finish

Parts destined for plating or painting are molded under strict protocols. We utilize highly polished tooling and strictly prohibit the use of silicone-based mold release agents, which would ruin paint adhesion.

Our process engineers meticulously optimize gate locations and cooling rates to minimize molded-in stress, ensuring the parts do not warp when subjected to the harsh chemical baths and thermal variations of the electroplating process.
