Cerakote application pricing depends on several factors, including the item’s size and complexity, the chosen color and finish, the number of colors used, and the applicator’s labor rates. For example, a single-color application on a handgun slide might range from $75 to $150, while a more elaborate multi-color camouflage pattern on a rifle receiver could cost $200 to $400 or more. It’s also important to consider preparation work, such as sandblasting or media blasting, which can add to the overall expense.
Understanding the cost factors associated with this specialized coating is essential for consumers. Durable and protective, this ceramic-based finish offers resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and impact, enhancing the longevity and value of firearms, tools, and other equipment. Originally developed for firearm applications, its use has expanded to various industries due to its exceptional performance characteristics. Choosing this finish often represents an investment in long-term protection and enhanced aesthetics.
