Cerakote Coating Las Vegas
Cerakote Coating Las Vegas from Las Vegas Laser Engraving was developed in the 1980s to address a need in the firearms market for a durable, thin, and resistant coating. Cerakote treatment is available for metal, plastic, polymer, and wood surfaces. The Cerakote process uses ceramic particles mixed with polymers. When properly cured, the coating creates a hardened surface that protects the treated firearm from scratches, abrasions, rust, pitting, and other oxidation. Cerakote is only one one-thousandth of an inch thick, and effectively coats and protects firearms without impacting their functionality at all.
The Cerakote Process
Professional Cerakote coating involves complete treatment of the firearm before coating, and oven curing following coating to complete the coating and sealing process. Every piece is prepped and coated by hand, so the finish comes out even and consistent across the whole surface.
Protection That Goes Beyond Looks
In addition to acting as a protectant, Cerakote coating protects a firearm’s moving parts in addition to its exterior surfaces. Cerakote prolongs a firearm’s life and reduces the need for external lubricants and oils. Less oil means less dust and dirt, which means less wear and tear.
Cerakote Colors and Finishes
Cerakote also greatly enhances any firearm’s cosmetic appeal. Cerakote is manufactured in over one hundred colors, and when applied in conjunction with laser engraving, the visual impact is amazing. Our pictures are nice, but you really have to see a Cerakote coating over laser engraving to really appreciate the color and effect the coating creates.
Cerakote Plus Laser Engraving
Cerakote and laser engraving pair especially well together. A logo, name, or custom design engraved before or after coating stands out against the color of the finish, giving you both a protective coating and a personalized look in one project. If you’re already bringing us a firearm for engraving, ask about adding Cerakote at the same time.
What to Expect
Every Cerakote project starts with a conversation about your firearm, the color or finish you have in mind, and whether you’d like engraving added as well. We’ll walk you through the process and timeline before any work begins, and answer any questions about how the coating holds up to daily use and carry.
Caring for Your Cerakote Finish
Cerakote is built to handle regular use, cleaning, and carry without breaking down. Standard firearm cleaning products and normal handling won’t damage the finish, and because the coating reduces how much oil and lubricant your firearm needs, day-to-day maintenance is often easier than it was before coating.
Popular Cerakote Projects
We regularly Cerakote handguns, rifles, and firearm accessories, along with parts like magazines, optics mounts, and other hardware. If you’re not sure whether a specific piece is a good fit for coating, bring it in and we’ll talk through your options.
