STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD

WITH DIFFERENT FINISHES

CERAKOTE ALLOWS SO MANY DIFFERENT FINISHES AND APPLICATIONS.

We pride ourselves on offering every single option that only Cerakote can offer. We thrive on creative work. Others may stay away, but we LOVE showing off our creative streak.

Check out the examples below of all the finishes we can apply.

Most finishes can be applied to most substrates. If you have any ideas or questions, as ever, just send us an email or give us a call, we can make your ideas come to life!

  • SPLATTER

    Splatter effects go great on flat and gradient base layers. We can do single or multiple colours with small or large splatters.

    This effect is super effective on larger panels and curved surfaces. It adds complexity and is visually striking, STAND OUT!!!!

    Contrasting colours work well, as do non contrasting colours, trust us, brown base with pink and green splatter will look insanely cool!!!!

  • SPECKLE

    Splatter can be applied to any base layer, be it flat, metallic, camos etc.

    Add a large or small speckle for extra contrast and a small amount of texture, great for adding a little bit of grip to controllers and EDC gear!

  • GRADIENT

    Gradients can be applied to any substrate with H-series Cerakote products.

    Black to white, black to metallic, green to blue... anything goes here.

    Strong gradients with a break in the middle, or just a little blend on a corner piece or different panel, the choices are endless.

  • CERAKOTE FX

    We LOVE Cerakote FX. There are numerous colours to choose from. Go subtle with a small amount of FX powder or go big and add a lot of powder in for different FX 'effects.'

    We can apply FX over any H series base layer. For the best 'effect' a black base works best; that doesn't mean we can't do it on white, metallic etc.

    Cerakote FX is applied 'wet on wet.' This means the FX is applied over a H series base coat, before it is baked. Choose from High Gloss or Matte clear coat to expand the possibilities even more!

  • GALAXY

    Applying a Galaxy to your project will make it really stand out from the crowd. Galaxy effects are good on most substrates with H-series.

    A black base is best, this helps the Galaxy POP. Choose to go subtle with the effect or really go for a high detail and high fidelty finish.

    We recommend 2-3 colours for the galaxy style. White / off white speckles can also be applied over the top to simulate stars.

    With this effect, contrast or non contrast style both work very well indeed. This our personal favourite style visually, its also incredibly fun to apply!

  • STENCIL / GRAPHICS

    A great way to add your company colours to your project. We can apply H-series to any substrate and have a simple logo or mulitple stencil designs applied.

    Again, contrasting colours work great, so do non contrasting colours. Cerakote is ultra durable and stencils will be strong, bold and last for years and years!

    High Gloss or Matte Ceramic Clear Coat can be applied over the top for even more strength and durability.

  • FLAT FINISH

    When we say flat finish, we mean, just the standard, no effects Cerakote, just as it comes out the gun.

    Flat finishes are non metallic with sheen or no sheen, this depends on the specific Cerakote coating you choose, we can discuss gloss levels with you!

    H series Armour Black is a perfect flat finish and applies on any substrate beautifully.

  • METALLIC

    Cerakote offers a stunning and breadth of different metallic shades.

    Choose from shiny Aluminium with Satin Aluminium, classy gold, stunning Burnt Bronze and Tungsten for a sleek, modern appearance.

    There are lots of different options here, perfect for home interiors to add strength, durability and a classy finish.

  • CUSTOM MIX

    Custom Mixes can be made to match your specific project.

    Cerakote does not offer RAL or HEX matching, this is due to the unique, special formulation that Cerakote uses. We can match colours closely to exisiting items for us to compare to.

    The image above was a custom mix for a mechanical keyboard keycap set. The base is Charcoal Green with a small amount of white added to match the modifier keys.

    With custom mixes, we can get close, but not perfect as its mixed by humans.

  • CLEARCOAT

    Clearcoat can be applied to any substrate. We can apply it to aluminium, metals, steel, titanium, plastics, 3D printed parts, polymers, carbon fibre, glass and so much more.

    Seal in graphics, hydrographics, logos, Cerakote, paint. The list is endless.

    Cerakote Clear Coat comes in High Gloss and Matte. It can be applied to Cerakote projects to add even more durability. Matte knocks down contrast and flattens out the finish. High Gloss adds a glorious lustre and sheen.

    There are specific Clear Coats for certain applications too. As ever, send us a mail or give us a call to discuss the options.

  • A MIX OF ANY / ALL!!!

    Go for it! A mix of different applications and finishes on a project can make it stand out. Cerakote is mega tough and once the finishes are applied will keep your project looking good and performing for years and years to come!

    We love a gradient with speckles and splatters! Give it a go and stand out from your competitors.

    H-series is ideal for this as we can apply multiple layers before the item having a full bake to lock in the effects and finish.

  • PATINA

    Only Cerakote can offer such flexibility of artistic license and super strong finish.

    Patina style can be subtle with two colours (a base and gentle rubbed finished) or multiple colours, effects and different finishes.

    We can apply mulitple layers, rub them down, apply more, drag it across the workshop floor, add thinners to make oil stains and sponge it on for a verdigris effect. This is one of our favourite effects and its a joy to apply.

    With this effect, artistic license is the key. Let us know your vibe, colours etc and let us do the rest. We PROMISE no one else will apply anything like this.

    H-series is the best series here, allowing multiple effects and layers before a full bake finish. When locked in, its mega tough. Apply Clear Coat over the top for even more protection.

  • CAMO

    Camo is a great option for boards, EDC and airsoft.

    We can print out our own stencils. so we are able to apply ANY camo style an ANY camo colour you desire.

    Go wild! Black, green and red tiger stripes? YES! Brown, pink and orange Woodland Camo? Why not! Don't be boring, go for it!!!!

  • INFILL

    A simple way of adding a little flair to your project.

    If your project has a deep enough logo engraved, we can apply an infill. Choose a contrasting colour to add a lovely, subtle pop of colour.

    C/ H series are good here.

  • TEXT EFFECTS

    Text effects can be applied to any project in any colour or style.

    We have a high quality Graphtec vinyl plotter so we can apply large or small graphics to your project.

    Send us your files and we can apply them with C/ H/ E series! Any colour on any substrate, Cerakote-d base or not!

  • MARBLE

    A simple but ULTRA effective effect that is perfect on flat surfaces to add some extra flair.

    We recommend going with H series in subtle colours for this effect. A black or white base with contrasting colours is key. Metallics will not work with this style unfortunately due to the way we apply this effect. We use solvents to thin the second layer, so the metallic flake will have a tendency to run and smear.
