Post Finish
Bright, Matte and dull finishing options are available. Also, anti-tarnishing properties can be provided.

Rack or Barrel
The finish is normally performed on a racking line. A barrel line is an efficient option available for high volume smaller parts.

Special Treatment
A range of special treatment options are available. For silver, masking is a popular option.
