Our Shah Alam facility runs dedicated anodizing lines for champagne gold and silver metallic coatings on aerospace components. From surface pretreatment to sealed oxide layers, each batch follows documented process parameters and inspection checkpoints.
Straight answers on anodizing, metallic finishes, and how we handle aerospace component coating requests.
Anodizing is an electrochemical process that grows a protective oxide layer directly from the aluminum surface. A metallic coating, by contrast, is a separate layer applied on top of the substrate or anodized layer. We use both approaches depending on the component's role: anodizing for corrosion resistance and wear, metallic finishes for a consistent champagne gold or silver appearance with added protection.
We work with interior trim panels, brackets, housings, bezels, and structural fittings that require a precise finish. Most parts come to us as machined or extruded aluminum, ready for surface preparation and coating. If you are unsure whether your component fits our line, send the drawing and material spec, and we will confirm within a day.
Color consistency starts with controlled bath chemistry and ends with spectrophotometer checks on every production run. We calibrate the anodizing and coating parameters against a master reference panel, then measure each batch against that standard. This gives us a repeatable champagne gold tone, batch after batch, even when parts arrive in separate shipments.
Parts should arrive free of heavy oil, grease, and loose burrs. We handle degreasing, etching, and deoxidizing in-house, so you do not need to pre-clean beyond basic shop care. For components with tight tolerances, we recommend a light masking plan before the anodizing step to protect critical surfaces.
Yes. Send us a physical sample or a color chip with a known reference, and we will formulate the anodizing and topcoat parameters to match it. We keep a library of standard champagne gold and silver tones, but custom matches are routine for clients with proprietary specifications.
Standard runs take five to seven working days after sample approval, depending on batch size and masking complexity. Prototype and first-article orders move faster, usually within three days. We will give you a firm schedule once we review the part geometry and quantity.

From surface preparation to final inspection, our Shah Alam facility handles the full anodizing and metallic finishing sequence for aerospace components. Each stage is documented and traceable to the batch.
We run Type II and Type III anodizing lines sized for both prototype brackets and production runs. Rack design is matched to each part geometry so the oxide layer stays uniform on edges, threads, and blind holes. Thickness is verified with eddy-current gauges on every batch, not just the first piece.
Our signature champagne finish uses a two-stage process: a clear anodic layer followed by a metallic pigment topcoat. The result is a warm, reflective surface that holds its tone under UV exposure and repeated thermal cycling. We match RAL and Pantone references for cabin trim, bezels, and decorative panels.
For components that need a quieter look, we offer silver and satin metallic options with controlled gloss levels from 15 to 60 units. These finishes are specified for interior hardware, seat tracks, and galley fittings where glare reduction matters as much as corrosion resistance.
When a part needs coating only on certain surfaces, we apply laser-cut masks and high-temperature tape before anodizing. This keeps mating faces, electrical contact points, and threaded areas bare while the rest of the component receives full protection. Masking layouts are kept on file for repeat orders.
After anodizing, we seal the oxide layer in a hot deionized water bath or a mid-temperature nickel acetate solution, depending on the alloy and the client's corrosion specification. This step closes the pores and locks in the dye or pigment, extending the finish's service life in humid or salt-laden environments.
Every coating run is logged with the alloy grade, bath chemistry readings, process timestamps, and inspection results. Clients receive a digital certificate with thickness measurements and adhesion test outcomes. This paperwork follows the part from our line to final assembly, so your quality team has a clear record.
