Cerakote Gunsmith?

[mtelkhntr78]

Any recomendations on a Gunsmith that applies Cerakote? I think Score Hi Gunsmithing does but I wanted to see if anybody had any other recomendations. Location doesnt really matter as I was planning on shipping it somewhere anyhow.
Thanks in advance!

Jim See of Center Shot Rifles has done 2 guns for me. His work is top notch.

I would encourage you to seek out a certified applicator. There might be a few good ones right near you.

I've had a couple different guns Cerakoted. My 6-284 was Cerakoted by the person who built it and I would never have him do another but I recently had Shawn Carlock W/Defensive Edge build me a .223AI and they also Cerakoted it for me and the Carlocks do an AWESOME job of Cerakoting. I have a couple other guns I'm going to have them do for me now too.

Defensive Edge does an EXCELLENT job and the Carlocks are great people to work with too. I'd highly recommend them!!!

There are only two shops certified in the Dakotas,

Services: Cerakote™
Phone: (605) 209-1832
Address: 14870 229TH STREET
RAPID CITY, SD 57703

and

DAKOTA MACHINE

Phone: (605) 578-2191

Proper prep is time consuming and requires expensive materials. It is not uncommon for a non certified shop to cut corners. Be wary of any shop that is not certified. They may have good looking results but if not factory trained and obligated to adhere to proper surface preparation the durability of the coating will suffer.

Cerakote is a professionally applied ceramic based coating. It can be applied to plastic and metals. It is far and wawy the most durable and weather resistant finish you can get. The cons ar once applied the only way to get it off is with an abrasive blaster.

You can read up on the product and see many samples in the gallery here. Cerakote Firearm Coatings: Home
