At Old Man Armory we can Cerakote just about anything; from guns to sunglasses, motorcycle parts, Yeti tumblers, automobile parts and much more. The unique formulation enhances a number of physical performance properties including abrasion/wear resistance, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, impact strength, and hardness.
What is Cerakote? Cerakote is a high temp ceramic coating applied to hard finishes in order to achieve bold looks and better protection of metals.
Developed by NIC Industries for firearms in the 1980s, the coating provides a heightened level of durability to hard surfaces making it ideal for firearms and related gear. The coating specifically protects against abrasions, common when training on the range or traipsing through the woods, in addition to delivering corrosion resistance. This prevents nasty corrosion from setting in and harming not only the look of the gun but its functionality as well.
Cerakote finish is thin, measuring only 0.001-inches thick, making it ideal for firearms use. It also bonds well with steel, aluminum and polymer — common materials also used in modern firearm production.
“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,” Cerakote explains on its website. “Cerakote ceramic coatings utilize state-of-the-art technology to out-perform any competitive coating in both laboratory settings and real world applications.”
