Cerakote is a spray-on resin that is baked to cure. It is the premier paint in the firearms industry for frames and slides. It can be applied in solid colors or camo patterns. We will cerakote frames and slides with any C, E, and H series color codes (All codes are found on cerakote’s website). Although cerakote will wear faster than our PVD coatings, cerakote has the best corrosion resistance out of all of the coatings we offer, and it is very customizable. Here are the prominent attributes of cerakote:
- High corrosion resistance
- High chemical resistance
- High heat resistance (C series codes only)
- High amount of variations in color and pattern
- Low resistance to abrasion and wear
What can cerakote be applied to?
Cerakote can be applied to most materials like wood, aluminum, steel, titanium, brass, etc. We only cerakote frames, slides, grips, and magwells. Although you can cerakote barrels and controls, we do not due to the high amount of friction and rapid deterioration of the finish on moving parts of the firearm.
How do I care for cerakote?
No special care is required for cerakote. Due to the corrosion resistant properties, oil is not required to prevent rust or oxidation. A solid cleaning every once in a while will be sufficient to maintain the coating.
