Crawford Hydrographic Services specializes in Cerakote protective coatings and custom finishing work on firearms and metal components.

Handgun accessories include pistol magazine plates ($30 for separate color), clear coating options ($45 for hi-gloss or matte), and stencil work ($35 standard / $70 for extreme detail).

Scope work includes mounting ($40), standard scopes ($90), and target/tactical scopes with dial masking ($150). Bipod breakdown and reassembly runs $125, or $100 if already broken down. Pins and action parts are $75 if separate, otherwise included with rifle coating.

These services carry a $70 minimum and range from $75-$150 depending on the firearm and complexity. Allow 3-4 weeks for single and multi-color Cerakote jobs after your project reaches the shop.

Over 50 hydrographic film prints available. The process applies unique patterns and designs to various surfaces, giving firearms and gear distinctive visual finishes. Custom patterns available beyond the standard gallery options.
