Cerakote for Glock
Cerakote is a ceramic-based polymer coating — applied thin enough that it won't affect tolerances or function, and durable enough to outlast bluing, parkerizing, or paint. We apply it to Glock slides, frames, and components in hundreds of colors.
What We Coat
Cerakote can be applied to the slide, frame, or individual controls — separately or together in any combination.
Slide
The most common option. A coated slide against an uncoated frame is a clean, classic look. Quick to process — just send the slide.
Frame
Coat the frame to match your slide or create a two-tone contrast. Send the stripped frame — remove the internals before shipping.
Controls
Mag release, slide lock, and trigger shoe can be coated to match or contrast the rest of the build. Typically done alongside a slide or frame job.
Cerakote Series
We can order and apply any color from the E, H, F, and FX series catalogs. Color swatches are available in-shop.
H-Series
The most common series. Oven-cured, excellent durability, the widest color selection. What most customer work is coated with.
E-Series
Electrocoat series. Available for specific applications. Ask us if you have a particular requirement in mind.
F-Series
Catalyst-based, oven-cured. Thinner application at 0.75 mils — good for tight-tolerance parts. Adjustable gloss via catalyst ratio.
FX-Series
Specialty formulation. Available for specific jobs. Ask us if you have a project in mind.
Finishes
Cerakote finishes range from semi-gloss to high gloss. Semi-gloss is the most popular choice for Glocks — it hides fingerprints, looks intentional, and holds up well. Standard gloss and high gloss are available for custom builds or display pieces. Some series and colors naturally produce higher gloss than others. We'll discuss what finish works best for your intended use when you call.
Camo & Multi-Color Work
Multi-color patterns — including camo, two-tone designs, and laser ablation work — are available on Glocks. These take more time than a single-color job and are quoted individually. If you have a specific pattern or combination in mind, call us before shipping.
Typical Lead Time
~3 weeks (camo and custom work may take longer)
