Your Certified Cerakote Coating Applicator in Las Vegas
Cerakote is one of the most popular ceramic coatings available for firearms in the U.S. today. Known for its durability and versatility, Cerakote comes in a wide range of colors and is used to efficiently coat and protect various metals, polymers, and other materials.
Why Cerakote?
Cerakote provides superior protection against corrosion, wear, and scratching, making it ideal for firearms and other high-use equipment. Although it is available to the general public, applying Cerakote is not a do-it-yourself process. Like many aspects of gunsmithing, the quality of the application depends on the skill and experience of the applicator. For optimal results, it’s important to work with an experienced Cerakote coating applicator in Las Vegas rather than attempting the process at home.
Cerakote Applicator Training
Cerakote’s certification program, offered through NIC Industries, is one of the most recognized training courses for firearm and equipment coatings. The program ensures that applicators receive intensive training directly from Cerakote’s experts. Completing this program gives customers confidence that the applicator has the skills to apply Cerakote correctly.
Cerakote’s training covers a range of important aspects, including:
- Correct preparation by substrate
- Various methods of degreasing
- Proper racking techniques
- Coating selection
- Spray gun techniques (basic to advanced)
- Application methods
- Curing procedures, stenciling, and camouflage techniques
- Advice on equipment and operation
- Robotics integration (where applicable)
Brian Lack — Certified Cerakote Applicator
Brian Lack, the owner of Las Vegas Laser Engraving, has been a certified Cerakote applicator for several years now. Brian has developed a strong relationship with Cerakote and continues building his skills through ongoing training.
Brian attended a week-long Cerakote training in San Antonio to further deepen his expertise in the coating process, working alongside Roman Arms, a seasoned Cerakote expert. That hands-on training is on top of the years he’s already spent applying Cerakote in the shop.
What This Means for You
Because Brian is a certified Cerakote applicator, you can count on a properly prepped, evenly applied, correctly cured finish every time. Brian will be happy to walk you through the Cerakote process, show you previous work, and discuss how Cerakote can help protect and enhance your firearms and other items.
Why Work With an Experienced Applicator
An uneven or poorly prepped Cerakote job can flake, chip, or wear unevenly long before it should. Working with a Las Vegas Cerakote coating applicator who understands substrate prep, degreasing, and curing means your finish holds up the way it’s supposed to — not just on day one, but years down the road.
Combining Cerakote With Laser Engraving
Because we also specialize in laser engraving, we can pair your Cerakote coating with a custom engraved design in the same visit. It’s one of the most popular combinations we offer — a durable, protective finish and a personalized look in one project.
