Frequently asked Cerakote questions
What Is Cerakoting?
Cerakote is a high-performance ceramic coating originally engineered for firearms but embraced by those who want a flawless finish and serious protection on car, motorcycle, and even aircraft parts. Developed by NIC Industries, Cerakote comes in over 70 colors and custom blends. Its chemical structure provides a hard, ultra thin protective layer, shielding against scratching, chipping, cleaning solvents, moisture, and corrosion.
