Tougher Than Bluing. Better Than Paint.
Cerakote is a thin-film ceramic coating engineered for firearms. It shrugs off the sweat, solvents, holster wear, and weather that eat through factory finishes — while adding almost no thickness, so your gun keeps running exactly as it should. It just happens to look incredible too.

Cerakote FAQ
The questions we hear most at the counter.
How much does Cerakote cost in Boise?
Pricing depends on how many parts and colors are involved and how much teardown the job needs. A single-color slide is our most affordable option; full pistols, rifles, and multi-color camo cost more. Call or bring it in for a firm quote — no surprises.
How long does Cerakote take?
Most standard jobs turn around in about one to two weeks depending on our queue and the complexity of the finish. We’ll give you a timeline when you drop off, and we’ll let you know if a rush is possible.
How durable is Cerakote, really?
Very. It’s a ceramic-based coating built to resist rust, holster wear, solvents, and the elements far better than bluing or paint — while staying thin enough that your firearm keeps functioning normally.
What colors and patterns can I get?
Hundreds of Cerakote colors, plus two-tone combinations and custom camo like Multicam-style, splatter, and battleworn. Bring a reference photo or tell us the vibe and we’ll dial it in.
Can you Cerakote a firearm I didn’t buy from you?
Absolutely. Bring in any firearm — handgun, rifle, or shotgun — unloaded and in a case. We service all major brands and calibers.
Will Cerakote change how my gun works?
No. Applied correctly, Cerakote adds only a thin film and preserves fit and function. We reassemble and function-check every firearm before it goes home.
