Full description and what we offer

Shooter's Coatings is owned and operated by a Marine Corps veteran based in Cincinnati, Ohio. They specialize in professional Cerakote ceramic coating application—a durable finish that outperforms traditional coatings in abrasion resistance, corrosion protection, chemical resistance, impact strength, and hardness.

Every firearm receives full service:

•Complete disassembly – AR uppers get barrels removed, 1911s and pistols are completely stripped
•Surface preparation – Parts are degreased, soaked in pure acetone, then blasted with aluminum oxide to prepare the steel
•Hand application – Each component is sprayed individually by hand, then hung or racked to prevent surface contact during oven curing
•Inspection & correction – Parts that don't meet their perfection standard are stripped and recoated
•Reassembly & testing – Firearm is reassembled and function-tested per manufacturer specs

Service	Price
Handguns (1-color complete)	$150
AR/AK (1-color complete)	$180
Rifles/Shotguns (barrel 24" & under)	$100
Suppressors (1-color)	$30
Tear down & reassemble (AR lowers, semi-auto handguns)	$45
Tear down & reassemble (complete AR, AK, revolvers)	$75

Multi-color work available – two-color handguns $170, three-color $190. $25 non-refundable deposit per color ordered.

They don't coat sears, springs, bores, chambers, or other tolerance-critical parts. Pins and pin holes are typically masked to avoid tolerance issues—the ceramic coating adds measurable thickness that can affect fit, especially on tight 1911s.

Markings: Machine-engraved or stamped markings survive the process. Painted or lightly laser-etched markings will be lost unless masked (though masking leaves visible borders). Serial numbers are masked at no extra charge.
