Understanding Cerakote

What Exactly is Cerakote?

Cerakote represents the pinnacle of firearm protection technology, offering unprecedented durability and performance. As a military-grade ceramic coating, it provides wear resistance that exceeds traditional finishes by 100 times, ensuring your firearm maintains its integrity even under heavy use.

Beyond basic protection, Cerakote creates an impermeable barrier against corrosion while resisting both chemical exposure and UV damage that can deteriorate standard finishes. This advanced coating maintains its protective properties even at extreme temperatures up to 1800°F, making it ideal for high-performance firearms.

Despite its exceptional protective qualities, Cerakote adds only .001" to your firearm's dimensions, ensuring precise tolerances and proper function while allowing for vibrant, customizable color options that maintain their appearance over time.

Benefits of Cerakoted Guns: 

  • 100x more wear resistance than traditional finishes 
  • Complete corrosion protection 
  • Chemical and UV resistance 
  • Operating temperature stability up to 1800°F 
  • Custom color options with lasting vibrancy 
  • Thickness of only .001" maintaining tolerances

The Cerakote Application Process

The journey to a perfect Cerakote finish begins with our comprehensive consultation process.

Our team develops a detailed project plan, establishes clear timelines, and provides a written estimate ensuring complete transparency throughout the process. 

Professional preparation follows, where our experienced technicians meticulously disassemble your firearm and prepare each component. This crucial stage involves thorough surface preparation and chemical cleaning in our environmentally controlled facility, ensuring optimal coating adhesion and longevity.

The application phase showcases our expertise as we carefully apply the base coat, create intricate patterns, and attend to every detail with precision. Each component goes through multiple quality inspections throughout this process, ensuring flawless coverage and pattern alignment.
