Charlotte Cera Kote

Charlotte Cerakote is a veteran-owned shop specializing in Cerakote applications across firearms, metals, and polymers. With three decades in the custom ceramic coating industry, they've moved beyond just understanding the product—they've built their entire operation around solving real gun maintenance problems that shooters face in humid climates.

Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating that addresses the exact issues that plague gun owners in North Carolina's environment: corrosion, wear, oxidation, and chemical resistance. The Charlotte humidity that eats finish on traditional blued or stainless guns? Cerakote handles it. The founder spent 45 years as a firearms enthusiast before discovering Cerakote and recognized immediately that it solved problems gun owners deal with constantly—maintenance, rust prevention, and the ability to get creative with finishes.

• •The core benefit is simple: Custom coating improves physical performance. Your firearm stays drier, corrodes slower, and wears longer.

"We guarantee that our coatings will never crack, peel or flake! If they do you can send the items back to us and we will coat them again for no additional charge."

This isn't marketing language. They'll refinish it for free if anything goes wrong.
