A firearm receiving a Cerakote finish at Regular Dude Defense

What's included

Cerakote is only as good as the prep underneath it. We do the whole process in-house.

Consultation

We talk through how the firearm is used, what you want it to look like and which parts will be coated.

Surface prep & blasting

Parts are degreased and media blasted so the coating bonds to clean, properly textured metal.

Color selection

Choose from Cerakote's wide range of colors, from a single solid color to multi-color combinations.

Full or partial coats

Refinish the whole firearm or just the slide, receiver, barrel or accessories.

Oven cure

Coatings are cured to the manufacturer's process for the hardness and durability Cerakote is known for.

Certified applicator

We're Cerakote certified, so the product is applied the way the manufacturer intends.

Service prices

No minimum charge. We estimate the work before starting and will not exceed the estimate without your approval. General gunsmithing is $125 per hour plus parts.
