What Are Metal Coatings?
Metal coatings are protective or decorative layers applied to machined components to improve corrosion resistance, wear resistance, appearance, and longevity. Different coating types serve different purposes — from heavy-duty corrosion protection in harsh environments to polished finishes for visible components.
RPM Machining Ltd. coordinates all metal coating services through our trusted partner network. This means you get a single point of contact — we handle the logistics, quality oversight, and scheduling so you receive a fully finished part ready to install. Our coating services include zinc plating, clear coating, and nickel plating.
