Part finishing + post-processing.
The last step starts early.

“Make it black”
is not a finish specification.

Anodizing, chem film, plating, powder coating + marking through vetted finishing suppliers. We coordinate the material, finish callouts and manufacturing sequence so performance and appearance are part of the same conversation.

One person keeping the details connected.

Anodizing

Aluminum finishing for application-specific protection, wear and appearance. Coating growth and critical fits need review.

Chem film

Aluminum conversion coatings selected against the required specification, corrosion protection and electrical needs.

Plating

Metal deposits selected for the substrate, application and required properties. Thickness and masking affect the finished part.

Powder coating + paint

Protective and cosmetic coatings, with color standards, texture and acceptance criteria agreed before production.

Marking + decoration

Laser marking, pad printing and silk screening scoped for content, location and the required durability.

Mechanical finishing

Deburring, tumbling, polishing and bead blasting coordinated with subsequent coatings and inspection.

The requirements.
Before the routing.

Send the drawing, material grade, quantities and delivery needs. Capability and acceptance requirements are confirmed for your specific job.

Details worth a conversation.

01

Fits + masking

Critical dimensions, threads, bores + surfaces that must remain uncoated.

02

Appearance + acceptance

Color, texture, cosmetic surfaces + approved samples defined before production.

03

The complete sequence

Manufacturing, finish, marking + inspection planned together.

A few things worth asking.

Anodizing, chem film, powder coating, electroplating, galvanizing, wet paint, color matching, pad printing, silk screening, welding, and hardware assembly, across both cosmetic and performance-driven requirements

Yes. Finishing is built into the same project timeline as the CNC, sheet metal, or molded part it belongs to, so it isn’t a separate RFQ or a separate vendor relationship on your end.

Cosmetic finish gets treated as a spec, not a nice-to-have. When a part has to look right and perform, finish and function get decided together during engineer review, not left to chance at the finishing stage.

They can, depending on the process and any masking, racking, or secondary inspection involved. That’s part of what gets scoped during quoting, so the timeline you get already accounts for it.

A portal typically treats finishing as a bolt-on line item. We coordinate it as part of the same build with the same vendor accountability, and every finished part is inspected in San Clemente before it ships.

Finished means finished.

Fit, protection, color and marking. Put the requirements on the drawing. We’ll keep them in the plan.
