Real finishes
Finished parts from our shop
We check surface roughness with a Mitutoyo SJ-210 when your drawing calls for it.
Tips
Choosing a finish
Plan for coating thickness
Anodizing adds a thin layer (Type III more). Tell us which features must stay in tolerance after finishing.
Mask threads and fits
Use masking for threads and bearing fits.
Match colors across batches
Send a reference sample or a RAL / Pantone code.
Not sure which finish to choose? Tell us how the part is used, and we will recommend one.
