Full description and what we offer
Aces & Eights applies polymer-ceramic composite coatings to firearms and accessories across Texas with NIC Industries certification and factory-trained expertise. They handle statewide service from Houston to El Paso, covering major metros and rural areas.
Cerakote is fundamentally different from traditional bluing or parkerizing. It's a thin-film ceramic coating (0.001" to 0.002") that bonds to metals, polymers, plastics, and wood without adding significant weight or changing firearm tolerances.
Originally developed for aerospace and military applications, Cerakote offers superior protection with unlimited customization options.
The protection stack: - Salt spray tested to 1000+ hours of corrosion resistance - Heat resistance up to 1200°F (H-Series) - Chemical resistance against solvents, oils, and cleaning agents - Impact and abrasion resistance that outlasts traditional finishes - UV stable against fading and color degradation
- •Pistol Cerakote (slides, frames, small parts)
- •AR Platform finishing (uppers, lowers, components)
- •Shotgun Cerakote (receivers, barrels, furniture)
- •Tumblers & Cups (non-firearm items)
- •Custom patterns, camouflage, and graphics
- •Special effects (battle worn, distressed, marble finishes)
Hundreds of colors available — unlike bluing (black/blue only) or parkerizing (gray/green only), you can customize virtually any aesthetic while maintaining performance.
