"At GCA we are our toughest critics. Nothing leaves the shop if myself and the customer are not satisfied with the quality of the finished product. All our coatings are warrantied for failure due to incorrect application."

Customers consistently mention Jeremy's attention to detail and willingness to take design concepts and execute them flawlessly. One customer noted they were "blown away with the degree of detail" on a medic-themed Glock 21. Another said the work was so good "it amazed me that this wasn't done at the factory."
