Thin Film. Serious Protection.

Cerakote in Watkinsville, Athens and Northeast Georgia

Cerakote is a thin-film ceramic coating that's sprayed, then cured. It adds very little thickness, so slides, frames and tight-tolerance parts still fit and function, while gaining strong resistance to wear, corrosion, chemicals and heat.

We Cerakote single parts and full builds for gun owners, hunters, knife makers and car and truck owners, with all prep and curing done in the same shop.

What Watkinsville customers Cerakote

Common Cerakote jobs from Watkinsville include:

• Pistol slides, frames and barrels
• Rifle receivers, handguards and suppressors
• Knife blades, multitools and gear
• Exhaust tips, headers and engine parts
• Brake calipers, brackets and small automotive parts

How our Cerakote process works

Every job follows the same steps:

• Disassemble and degrease. Parts are taken down and cleaned so no oil is left in the metal.
• Blast. Surfaces are blasted to give the ceramic a clean profile to grip.
• Mask and spray. Bores, threads and internals are protected, then Cerakote is sprayed in thin, even coats.
• Cure and reassemble. Parts are oven-cured and checked before they go back together.

Cerakote or powder coat?

Not sure whether you need Cerakote or powder coat? Here's the short version: Cerakote for thin, precise, high-heat or high-wear parts; powder coating for larger parts that benefit from a thick, impact-resistant shell. We'll tell you which one makes sense.

Prep, colors and related services

Every Cerakote job starts with degreasing and sandblasting so the ceramic bonds. Choose from hundreds of Cerakote colors. For wheels, gates and larger parts, see powder coating.
