Summary for black chrome plater Discussion
Black chrome plater with large tanks is the core need in this RFQ: Katie Leon Ortega, a manufacturing engineer at a furniture company with an in-house decorative chrome line, asked for a shop that could plate oversized samples in black chrome. She listed three parts measuring 19 x 21 x 18, 26 x 19 x 22, and 27 x 32 x 32 inches, and said even the smallest sample would help. Her main challenge was finding platers willing and able to disclose tank sizes, since calling shops one by one was slow. The page contains no technical replies or shop recommendations in the excerpt, only an editor’s note that the RFQ is outdated but technical responses are still welcome and public commercial suggestions are not allowed.
Q. Hello, I work at a furniture manufacturing company where we have our own decorative chrome line. We are looking at getting some samples done in black chrome finish but I can’t find a plater with tanks large enough. The dimensions of the three samples I have are (in inches):
19 x 21 x 18
26 x 19 x 22
27 x 32 x 32
Does anyone know of a plating shop that could handle this? Even if they can get the smallest sample done, that would probably work. I’ve been google searching but most platers don’t post their tank sizes and calling each one is a SLOW process.
Thanks!
