Custom Cerakote Work

Cerakote ceramic firearms coatings outperform all other coatings on the market in virtually every critical metric and have been extensively tested by firearms manufacturers, independent labs and the U.S. Military. Cerakote firearms coating are Mil-Spec for currently issued weapons and equipment. 

RUST RESISTANCE:
Cerakote firearms coatings have been tested in salt spray and full emersion and have withstood beyond 3,000 hours in salt spray and hundreds of hours in full emersion testing. These results outperform other finishes by over 10x. This makes Cerakote ceramic firearms coatings the clear choice for marine environments and other environments subject to high humidity.

HARDNESS – SCRATCH and WEAR RESISTANCE: 
ASTM D3363 Pencil Hardness is a 9h with 6h scratch resistance rating, which are the highest ratings in the Pencil Scale 

Cerakote firearm finishes can withstand over 8,000 wear cycles per mil (.0001). The Tabor wear test uses an 8" abrasive wheel applied to a metal plate coated with 1 mil thickness of the Cerakote coating. In addition, Cerakote's Coefficient of Friction is 80% less than stainless steel against stainless steel. When one or both moving parts of a firearm are coated you can expect a longer product wear cycle.

ADHESION: 
Cerakote firearm finishes have an ASTM D3359 rating of 5B and can withstand a 180° mandrel bend rotation test around a 1/4" mandrel and a ball bearing impact test of 160 inch-lbs with no cracking or loss of adhesion.
