A certified Cerakote applicator in Rowlett, Texas. Thin-film ceramic coating for defense, firearms, automotive and industrial parts — 200+ colors, rated to 1800°F.
Cerakote is a proprietary ceramic-based coating applied as a very thin film — roughly one mil (0.001″) — to metals, plastics, polymers and wood. It adds corrosion and wear protection without the dimensional build of most coatings, which is why it works on parts with tight tolerances.
A dense, non-porous ceramic film that shields the substrate from salt, moisture, chemicals and abrasion — without the porosity of an oxide layer.
Flexible enough to take an impact without chipping or cracking, and hard enough to resist wear at the same time.
Withstands temperatures up to 1800°F, which puts it in range for exhaust, engine and high-heat machinery components.
Over 200 finishes and colors, held to a color-consistency standard of Delta E of 1 or less — so run two matches run one.
No heavy metals, and VOC compliant in all 50 states.
Cleans up with ordinary care, and does not detrimentally impact the fatigue properties of aluminum alloys.
Anodizing converts the aluminum surface into an oxide layer — excellent for hardness and wear on aluminum, and we run it at our sister plant. Cerakote is a different tool: it applies to steel, plastics and polymers as well, adds color range, and does not affect fatigue properties. Pick by substrate and requirement, not by preference.
Powder builds a thicker, tougher film and is more economical over large surface areas. Cerakote goes on far thinner, so it suits parts where fit, tolerance or weight matters, and it holds up at much higher temperatures.
Paint is the most flexible on color and cost. Cerakote outperforms it on abrasion, chemical exposure and heat, and holds color consistency far tighter across production runs.
Components requiring durable, low-glare, corrosion-resistant finishes.
Exhaust, engine and underhood parts exposed to heat and chemicals.
High-temperature and high-wear components where build thickness matters.
Color-critical parts that still have to survive real-world handling.
Very thin — on the order of one mil (0.001 inch). That is a fraction of a typical powder coat, which is why it is used on parts where fit and tolerance matter.
Up to 1800°F, depending on the specific product selected for your part.
Cerakote holds a color-consistency standard of Delta E of 1 or less, which is tighter than most coating systems. With 200+ finishes available, we can match and repeat.
Yes. It contains no heavy metals and is VOC compliant in all 50 states.
Metals, plastics, polymers and wood. Send us the substrate and the requirement and we will confirm the right product.
Yes. We are a certified Cerakote applicator, applying it in-house in Rowlett, Texas alongside our powder and liquid coating lines.
Powder if you want a thicker, tougher, more economical film over a large area. Cerakote if you need a thin film, tight tolerances, very high temperature resistance, or a precise repeatable color.
Tell us the substrate, the environment and the tolerance. We will tell you honestly which finish fits.
