trade secrets

What can we do? Almost anything metal, including aluminium and stainless steel can be polished and/or electroplated. We are also having consistently good results with restoration of die-cast parts using copper and nickel plating as the base onto which we can plate any other decorative finish. Renovating your apartment or house, Astor can help out in every room.
