If you have seen guns that look like they’ve come straight out of a video game, they are most likely guns that have been Cerakote coated. Cerakote is a special type of coating that can be applied on materials composed of polymer-ceramic compounds such as wood, metals, polymers and plastic. In addition to giving a stunning, customized look to a gun, Cerakote coating actually has multiple useful advantages. This blog will highlight four benefits of Cerakote coating a gun.
# Protects Cosmetics of The Gun
Coating a gun with Cerakote covers its surface and cosmetics providing a thin layer of protection from abrasion and light scratches. It is a great way to keep a gun look and feel new.
# Lubricates The Gun
Cerakote is a unique coating in that it can act as a lubricant. Many owners who have had their guns coated with Cerakote have reported using much less lubrication in their gun. And unlike regular gun lubricants, it collects much less dirt, debris and other particles. This helps to keep the gun cleaner, which makes it more reliable and functioning better.
# Acts as a Sealant
Cerakote is part finish and part sealant, and for people who live in wet or humid weather, or who tend to sweat a lot, coating their guns with Cerakote can protect their gun from moisture and humidity. By sealing the openings on the gun, Cerakote coating reduces the entry of vapor and moisture protecting the internal parts of the gun from oxidizing, rust and corrosion.
# Wide Variety of Colors and Patterns
Cerakote gun coating can be done in a variety of colors and patterns. Whether you want polka dots or stripes on your gun, or choose between Zombie Red and Prison Green, you can get the precise color and patterns of your liking printed on your gun with Cerakote coating.
Conclusion
Though it is easy to think that Cerakote coating on a gun is only for show (which in a lot of cases it is), it actually has physical benefits that help to keep the gun in top shape.
