Cerakote…great stuff! A mixture of ceramic powder, some type of carrier and extremely fine metal powder. No VOC’s. (Volatile Organic Compounds) Mixed with a second compound, sprayed onto whatever and baked at relatively low temps and Voila!, a very thin, flexible and hard coating. MANY uses, for example, pistol slides for inside the waistband carry. The slides get rusty after prolonged contact with skin, Cerakoted slides don’t rust. Vanity; The number of colors available is amazing. We can create any color(s) for your firearm, sunglass frames, kitchenaid mixer, hammer, knife, key, bottle opener, or anything else that can be baked is a candidate for Cerakoting. One of the latest are women with Glocks, S&W Shields or R***r LC’s custom Coated with the “Hello kitty” logo (!) My personal favorites are Graphite black and Burnt bronze.
I have been applying Cerakote for the past four years, and only this past January did I go to Oregon and take the application class to learn how to do it correctly, and all the various ways to incorporate the coating on substrate as yet unexplored. The class enabled me to become a Certified Applicator, the only one in this area. (Nevada, Placer, Sierra, Butte etc. Counties.) Cerakoting your firearm will make it virtually rustproof along with the fact that you can customize the appearance to be any color/shade or combination of colors and graphics you wish.
