Cerakote Has You Covered

As a gun owner, toughness matters to you. You want your gun to stand up to the elements and follow you anywhere. You don't want to be bothered with excess maintenance, and you certainly don't want to see your weapon marred by scratches, rust, and corrosion. You want to maximize performance and durability. If that sounds like you, you need to consider Cerakote coating.

What is it?

Cerakote is a highly durable ceramic based finish that can be applied to all kinds of hard surfaces, everything from metal to wood. It protects guns from wear by sealing out dirt and moisture with a coating that is much harder than the surface underneath.

Tough

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) performed a number of tests pitting Cerakote and its primary competitors against various extreme circumstances. These "torture tests" revealed just how tough Cerakote really is. When testing corrosion resistance, a number of metal handgun parts treated with different brands of firearm coatings were placed in a warm chamber that sprayed them with a constant mist of salt water. The parts were then observed to determine how long it would take for corrosion to begin. Cerakote outlasted its next closest competitor by 11 times, lasting 2034 hours (compared to DuraCoat's 172 hours). Tests in hardness, flexibility, durability, chemical resistance, and more all showed industry-leading outcomes. These lab results translate well to the field, with thousands of satisfied gun owners lauding the Cerakote's toughness.

Slick

Cerakote is designed to help your gun's components slide smoothly against one another. Cerakote C-110 MicroSlick is the formula designed to be used on your firearm's internal components (bolt, bolt carrier, etc.). In a test to determine just how much C-110 cut friction, a machine was used to drag a piece of stainless steel across a piece of aluminum coated with C-110. The tests determined that C-110 cut friction by over 75%. How much longer would your gun last if its precision moving parts experienced just a quarter of the friction they are experiencing now?

Stylish

Even if you say you don't care, Cerakote knows you want to look good for your buddies at the range. That's why it is available in just about any color you can imagine, and can be painted on with any and every pattern. Whether you want to blend with a classic camo pattern or to stand out in orange or hot pink, Cerakote has you covered. With all the options available, your may just need a matching handgun for every purse (ahem, range bag). An added benefit to Cerakote being so tough is that, unlike some other coatings, it doesn't look worn after a few hundred rounds. Your weapon will look just as good a years later as it did on the day it was treated.

When it comes right down to it, Cerakote is a great investment. It protects your gun, enhances its performance, and looks great to boot. Find a trusted Cerakote applicator near you and get covered!
