Does anyone know of any companies that clad on existing parts such as brass pieces? I tried going on line and calling few companies. Still, NO LUCK....

Due to the processes involved in accomplishing a clad substrate, it's doubtful that it can be done economically (if at all) with formed parts. It might depend on part geometry, but in general clad metals are available only in "raw" state, as rolled coils and sheets, and perhaps cast or extruded material. I assume that for some reason, plating is not an option, nor is manufacturing the parts from clad material?
