What is Cerakote?
Cerakote is a ceramic based finish that can be applied to metals, plastics, polymers and wood. The unique formulation used for Cerakote ceramic coating enhances a number of physical performance properties including abrasion/wear resistance, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, impact strength, and hardness. Each of these properties is rigorously tested to guarantee that Cerakote products remain at the forefront of the ceramic coatings market. Cerakote ceramic coatings utilise state-of-the-art technology to out-perform any competitive coating in both laboratory settings and real world applications.
Cerekote offerings are more diverse than just colour, there are four different series that are available. Some coatings are good for one application, but might not be the best for another. While colour choice is a concern, it should hardly be your only concern. Internal parts and mechanisms will benefit from a different kind of coating than external components. High temp areas, such as barrels and exhausts will benefit most from another type.
Simply put, there isn’t a generic formula for Cerakote, and knowing what is available will give you a better understanding of what works on which parts, and why there’s a lot more involved than simply choosing a colour. We are very happy to discuss the different options and requirements.
Our customer was doing a restore and rebuild of this iconic 80’s Evo motocross engine. He brought the engine components to us in quite a sorry state. We talked through the preparation and finish options, agreed on the action plan and set to transforming this motor into something beautiful.
We vapour blasted the components and prepared them ready to be Cerakote’ d in C-148 Burnt Bronze, H-109 Gloss Black, C-129 Gun Metal Grey .
Our customer is delight by the transformation and we’re proud of the work we did on this.
Give us a call us to discuss what you are looking for and we’ll guide you on prep and Cerakote finishes for your components. 01935 593 837
