What is Cerakote?
Cerakote is a ceramic based finish that can be applied to metals, plastics, polymers and wood.

“How durable is Cerakote??”
​
I Can’t tell you how many times I have heard this question. Cerakote is more durable than any other aftermarket sprayed on finish. There are many types of finishes, sprayed, chemical, plated to name a few. Nickel, Hard Chrome are some of the most durable finishes you can use but have their limits as far as color choice! The combination of Cerakote H Series and Cerakote’s new Armor Clear makes our finishes even more durable than non-cleared work.
​
As far as wear, it’s natural for items to wear due to heat and friction. Cerakote isn’t the cure-all, end-all solution but it will last if it is properly taken care of. I often use a silicon cloth to wipe down my slide. It helps reduce friction and prolong your Cerakote finish.
