What is cerakote®?

Cerakote® is a Polymer-Ceramic Composite coating that can be applied to metals, plastics, polymers and wood. The unique formulation used for Cerakote® ceramic coating enhances a number of physical performance properties including abrasion/wear resistance, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, impact strength, and hardness.

Each of these properties is rigorously tested to guarantee that Cerakote® products remain at the forefront of the ceramic coatings market. Cerakote® ceramic coatings utilize state-of-the-art technology to out-perform any competitive coating in both laboratory settings and real world applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before shipping, please ensure your firearm is unloaded, properly packaged, and includes an order form (available by email request). We recommend using UPS or FedEx with signature confirmation. Do not ship ammunition. Handguns must be shipped overnight or with 2-day delivery. Include a copy of your State ID and, if applicable, your FFL/CHL/LTC license.

Standard turnaround is two business days from the time your firearm is received. Guns received on Thursday are typically shipped back Monday, and guns received on Friday are shipped back Tuesday.
