Cerakote Ceramic Coatings
Cerakote.
Precision Applied.
The gold standard in thin-film ceramic protection. As a Certified Cerakote Applicator in Redmond, Oregon, we finish firearms, precision parts, and industrial components to outlast bluing, parkerizing, and anodizing. Shipping nationwide and to Canada.
What Is Cerakote
A Ceramic Finish That Outperforms the Rest
Cerakote is a thin-film ceramic polymer coating that bonds to metal, polymer, wood, and other substrates at roughly the thickness of a sheet of paper. Applied at our Redmond, Oregon facility, it adds extreme hardness, corrosion resistance, and abrasion protection without changing the fit of close-tolerance parts, which matters on suppressors, slides, and precision-machined components.
Every part runs through our full prep process before coating, including disassembly, degreasing, and media blasting for mechanical adhesion. That prep work is what separates a Cerakote finish that holds up to years of real use from one that chips or flakes at the first sign of wear. From a single custom firearm to a full production run, the result is the same. We have been doing this work in Central Oregon since 2013.
Customers ship parts to our Redmond shop from across the Pacific Northwest, and we regularly ship finished work to clients across the US, Canada, and internationally. Request a free quote and we will typically respond within 24 hours.

Surface Engineering
Thin-Film Performance Starts Before the Coating
Cerakote performs best when the surface is engineered first. Before application, every part is inspected, degreased, media-blasted to a controlled profile, and masked where tolerances matter. That mechanical adhesion is what lets a thin-film ceramic finish resist wear, corrosion, solvents, and heat without unnecessary build-up.
Finish Families
The Right Cerakote Series for Every Application
H-Series
The oven-cured workhorse. H-Series delivers maximum hardness, abrasion resistance, and corrosion protection across the widest range of metals and polymers. It is the standard choice for firearms, receivers, slides, and metal industrial parts where you need a proven performer in hundreds of available colors.
C-Series (High-Temp)
Rated to 1,200°F. C-Series ceramic is built for parts that run hot: exhaust headers, suppressors, engine components, and high-cycle industrial equipment. The coating resists thermal degradation and retains its finish where standard coatings would discolor or fail.
Elite Series
The most chemical- and abrasion-resistant Cerakote available. Elite is a ceramic-polymer hybrid engineered for parts exposed to the harshest solvents, oils, and mechanical wear. It is the top-tier choice when protection requirements go beyond what H-Series covers.

What We Coat
Firearm Coating, Industrial Finishing, and More
Firearms
Receivers, barrels, slides, suppressors, and complete builds finished in any solid color, camo pattern, or custom design. We work on pistols, rifles, and shotguns for individual customers and OEM manufacturers alike.
Industrial
Hardware, fasteners, machined components, and production parts that require consistent wear and corrosion protection. Our Central Oregon facility handles both one-off and volume industrial coating runs.
Automotive
Engine components, exhaust headers, intake manifolds, and trim parts. High-temp C-Series work is standard here. Customers ship parts from across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
Aerospace
Lightweight, thin-film ceramic protection for aircraft components. We serve aerospace manufacturers in Central Oregon including Lancair, Stratos Aircraft, and Kawak Aviation.
Advanced Coatings is the only full-service coating facility in Central Oregon, offering Cerakote alongside hydrographics and powder coating under one roof. If your project calls for a combination of finishes, we can handle the whole job.
