Why Choose Cerakote®?

It’s the coating of choice for professionals who demand function as much as form and delivers performance where other coatings fall short:

  • Extreme durability – Resists wear, corrosion, impact, and abrasion
  • Thin-film application – As thin as 0.0005″, ideal for tight-tolerance parts
  • Chemical & solvent resistance – Holds up to harsh cleaners and environments
  • Thermal stability – Withstands high-heat applications
  • Tactical matte or sleek gloss finishes – Wide range of colors and sheens
  • Hydrophobic properties – Reduces fouling and moisture buildup

Our Process

  • Surface Preparation – We blast each part to Cerakote®-recommended specs using aluminum oxide media, ensuring proper adhesion.

  • Degreasing & Cleaning – Parts are degassed and cleaned to eliminate oil, residue, or moisture.

  • Application – Cerakote® is sprayed in a controlled environment using HVLP systems, ensuring even, precise coverage.

  • Curing – Each part is baked at the correct time and temperature, as defined by Cerakote®’s technical data sheets.

  • Final Inspection – We inspect for uniformity, cure, and edge definition before shipping.
