A: LTCI asks that all parts be received clean, disassembled and in either
chrome or stainless steel. These two materials have been proven to best
support PVD coatings.
Q: Will PVD coating cover defects in my parts, such as scratches,
dents and pin holes?
A: PVD is a very durable, but thin coating. It will not fill or cover defects such
as scratches, pin holes or dents in the base material or the chrome
plating. For best results, send products that are defect-free. See our
Inspection Guide for more details.

Q: Can I send you a polished part for PVD Brushed (satin) Bronze?
A: You would need to have the part brushed before sending it in
for PVD Brushed Bronze. Please remember that PVD replicates the
surface finish. If the surface is brushed prior to PVD it will remain
brushed after. Conversely, if the surface is glossy (polished) prior,
it will be glossy after.
