anirudh@sourcesquid.coWhat finishes can Moradabad exporters do?
Antique brass, nickel, copper, gold, black, powder coat, enamel and PVD are all common.
Is solid brass more expensive than brass-plated iron?
Yes. Solid brass costs more but lasts longer and can be re-polished; plated iron or aluminium is lighter and cheaper.
How do I stop tarnish in transit?
Ask for lacquer protection, anti-tarnish paper, silica gel and sealed poly bags.
