Cerakote is a modern ceramic-polymer coating primarily applied to metal and polymer gun parts. It is characterized by high resistance to abrasion, corrosion, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. This makes it very popular both for real firearms and in the field of airsoft, where it significantly extends the lifespan and improves the appearance of replicas.

How does Cerakote differ from other finishes?

• Bluing: A chemical process that creates a thin black oxide layer on steel. It protects against corrosion but is less resistant to mechanical wear than Cerakote.
• Anodizing: An electrochemical treatment of aluminum that increases hardness and corrosion resistance. It allows for colored finishes, but Cerakote offers a wider color spectrum and greater durability.
• Cerakote: Not a chemical reaction, but a thin ceramic layer applied by spraying and then cured in an oven. Provides the highest resistance to scratches and chemicals among these methods.

Which surfaces can Cerakote be applied to?

• Metal parts: Barrel, slide, receiver, trigger mechanisms.
• Polymer parts: Stocks, grips, handguards.
• Accessories: Red dot sights, flashlights, mounts, and tactical gear.

Advantages of Cerakote coating:

• Extreme durability: Protects against abrasion, scratches, and corrosion.
• Wide range of colors and patterns: From solid colors to camouflage designs (Multicam, Kryptek, etc.).
• Thin layer: Does not increase part dimensions, so it does not affect the functionality of mechanical components.
• Heat resistance: Suitable even for barrels and suppressors of real firearms.
