Gun enthusiasts, military personnel, police officers and other gun owners reach a time when their firearm requires an efficient and functional coating to restore new life and protection of their gun. Long term service and durability in a coating would be a prerequisite in choosing the coating to be used for refinishing. We have selected "Cerakote" as a coating which will meet a number of requirements for all gun owners. Cerakote is reliable and safe to apply with the versatility of satin or matte finishes along with over 30 colors available. Protection against corrosion and abrasion in the field, along with the ability to resist chemicals, oils and solvents is part of the integral ceramic backbone structure of CERAKOTE coatings. Independent laboratory tests have concluded that Cerakote firearm coatings outperformed Teflon-based coatings by more than 60%. Taber wear cycle and salt spray cabinet tests have proven the superior coating capability of Cerakote coatings compared to other manufacturers coatings. Preservation of value, precision, and operational integrity of firearms and miscellaneous accessories can be insured when using Cerakote Coatings.

Testing performed by an independent military approved testing facility* proved that CerakoteTM is 7 1/2 times more wear resistant than any other firearm coating.

Corrosive salt spray testing showed that CerakoteTM can protect steel 50 times better than competitive firearm coatings. CerakoteTM salt spray testing is performed using a steel substrate, to simulate real world application, instead of using aluminum or Parkerizing.

Cerakote^TM coatings are recommended for the following uses:

• Firearms
• Military
• Barrels
• Accessories
• Knives
• Corrosive Environments
• Solvent Environments
• Abrasive Environments
• Industrial Applications
• Decorative Finish
