I want to get the word out about our new Cerakote company, located in the heart of the Columbia Gorge, approximately 40 miles east of I-5 on the Columbia River. I have been on this site for several years now (Engelwood) and knew that this would be one of the main places I wanted to share what we do, and promote the work we have done. We are a Certified Cerakote Applicator, which means we have gone thru the Certification Course put on by NIC Industries and have a great shop. We have an FFL and can accept mailed in work from anywhere. My sisters name is Melissa and is the main applicator and is without a doubt a perfectionist. We turn out some awesome looking work and have made a lot of happy customers with what we can do. We started the company back around the first of the year and have been getting ready for a full blown launch. We are always available to quote work, as well as for questions anyone might have about the process, the product, or what someone might be looking for.
Cerakote makes for a great way to customize a rifle, pistol, shotgun, stock, scope, rings, bases, knives, etc. Also, if you have a gun that has become rusty, or has the bluing fading, this might be the perfect time to upgrade the look and durability of your rifle. I have attached some pictures in this post to show what we can do. We will be posting pictures from now on to show what we are up to. Hunt WA members will get a 5% discount when mentioning this site. The site has been great to me so offering a discount for the HW Community is an automatic for us. Hope you enjoy the pics and give us a call if you are looking for some work to be done. Thanks everyone!

Do you have any additional information on what the Cerakote does for your firearm? Ceramic Coating and is it applied with high heat, etc. Can it be applied to the furniture or just the metal exterior portions of your firearm. I have looked at this process and have considered this option.
Thanks
Cerakote is a baked on, ceramic coating that extends the life of your barrel, action, or any component of your firearm. The process includes sandblasting metal components (other process for non-metal components), degreasing, and painting then baking the coating to the item. For temperature sensitive components such as scopes and composite stocks the temp only goes to 140 and for metal components it is baked on at 250 degrees. I have attached additional pictures below of other items we have coated. Pics aren't the best, but I think they get the point across. Enjoy.

Turnaround once received would be under a week and heading back to you.

Did you do the stock on the bolt rifle??
Yes we do. We basically do every single part of any firearm except springs and certain pins. Everything else is fair game. On wood stocks we can also coat them but I suggest a 3 color scheme to break it up as wood stocks are generally more beat up than synthetic so its harder to hide imperfections in the wood.

I might need to get my stainless Kimber Montana done here soon. I probably spend more time keeping it looking good than I do my other guns. Although that might have more to do with the fact when the weather is bad it's the gun I take into the bush. I'll be speaking with you soon!
