Chrome Plating Auto Part

Prepare a plated-part enquiry

For a project involving plated automotive parts, begin with the substrate, treatment areas and finished-part acceptance requirements. Use your current drawing and finish specification to define the enquiry.

Information to provide

• Base material and resin grade, with the part model and drawing revision
• Surfaces intended for plating, masking boundaries and areas to protect
• Appearance reference, inspection conditions and permitted visual variation
• Mating dimensions and any required tests after treatment
• Sample quantity, expected volume and responsibility for the finishing process

Agree the review and acceptance scope

Clarify whether the request concerns the mold for a plastic part, the finished plated component, or both. Agree what will be supplied and how the molded substrate and treated samples will be checked. The published image alone does not establish a material grade, finish system or approved production result.
