What We Can (and Can’t) Plate

A straightforward guide to what North Star can, and can’t, plate.

We plate bumpers, antique bumpers and tips, and just about any other part made of steel or brass, we’ve even plated barbed wire for a customer who wanted it for his motorcycle. As long as it’s made of steel or brass, we can typically restore and plate it. A couple of exceptions: we’re not able to plate stainless steel at this time, and we no longer plate pot metal. If you’re not sure whether your part qualifies, give us a call, we’re happy to take a look.
