Copper Plating
Crown plates copper on ferrous and non-ferrous parts as its own process. Most often, copper is a step before complete chrome plating. In a typical decorative system the order is copper, then nickel, then chrome. On highly decorative chrome parts, the copper layer is usually buffed before nickel and chrome go on, for a deeper, smoother finish. Some customers also choose copper as the final finish for its look.
