DFW Gun Coatings & Laser Engraving

DFW Gun Coatings is a Cerakote finishing applicator located in Garland, Texas, owned and operated by Scott Floyd. This is appointment-only work, and Scott handles every job personally—which explains why customers consistently praise his attention to detail.

Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating developed by NIC Industries that bonds to metal, wood, polymers, and plastics. Unlike traditional gun bluing, Cerakote provides:

• •Abrasion and wear resistance – holds up to heavy use
• •Corrosion resistance – protects against rust and moisture
• •Chemical resistance – withstands cleaners and solvents
• •Hardness and impact strength – more durable than standard finishes

Once applied and baked on, the coating lasts a lifetime. More importantly, it opens up options: solid colors, multi-color patterns, splatters, camo designs, and two-tone combinations that standard bluing can't match.

Cerakote Refinishing: - Single solid colors (Armor Black, Midnight Blue, Midnight Bronze, OD Green, Dark Earth, Burnt Bronze, Tungsten, Light Silver Satin, and more) - Multi-color custom patterns and designs - Camo finishes - Two-tone combinations - High-temperature coatings suitable for barrels - Bead blasting (part of the prep process)

Laser Engraving: - Custom logos and designs on slides, frames, and other parts - Personalization for firearms and non-gun items

Holster Distribution: - Bravo Concealment holsters – affordable concealed carry holsters covering 17+ manufacturers with multiple styles

Scott typically delivers work in 4 weeks for standard jobs, though he regularly beats this estimate. Customer reviews mention: - Same-day turnarounds on simple jobs - 48-hour rush orders - "Under a week" completions for AR builds - Weekend turnarounds on smaller parts

10% discount to all veterans and law enforcement officers.

Read through 60+ customer reviews and a pattern emerges: Scott cares more about the finished product than the schedule.

"He even offered to disassemble the firing pin assembly (I forgot!) which was a real pain on this old gun."

"He texted me and told me he was not satisfied with his work and was going to redo the entire thing so it all matched!"

"He chose to redo some of the parts that weren't perfect before even telling me."

Customers consistently mention: - Color swatches brought out to match exactly what you want - Responsive communication via phone and email - Willingness to attempt custom specifications other shops turned down - Fast responses and updates throughout the process - Expertise across rifle platforms, pistols, shotguns, and obscure firearms (Tokarevs, vintage rifles, Israeli surplus)

AR builds (lowers, uppers, handguards, barrels, bolt carrier groups) are the bread and butter. But the testimonials show he's refinished: - Glocks (multiple calibers) - Rugers (LCP, 10/22, EC9s) - 1911s (slides and frames) - Browning rifles and shotguns - Remington 700s - Winchester Model 70s - Marlin 30-30s - AK-pattern rifles - FAL magazines - Shotgun heat shields - Non-firearm items (small parts with old paint)
