One of the best things about Cerakote® is the choice: you can give your firearm exactly the colour or design you want. But with so many options, choosing isn’t always easy. In this article we give tips and examples.
The Cerakote® colour range
Cerakote® has a huge colour range, with more than a hundred colours. From various shades of black and grey to green, sand, bronze, copper and gold. View the full range on the Cerakote website.
Tip: a colour on a screen always looks slightly different from real life. So also look at photos of real firearms in that colour, for example in our portfolio.
One colour: clean and timeless
A firearm in one colour looks calm and clean. Natural shades such as green, sand and grey suit a hunting rifle well. Metallic shades such as bronze or copper give a pistol a striking look.
Two-tone: combining two colours
With two-tone the firearm gets two colours, for example a frame in one colour and a slide in another. Combine a dark and a light colour for contrast, or choose two shades from the same family for a subtle effect.
Camo: woodland, desert or your own pattern
A camo pattern is sprayed in several layers and colours. Think woodland, desert or a striking pattern such as blue camo. That’s how you turn a standard firearm into a truly unique piece.
A custom design
A design of your own is also possible, such as a flag, logo or pattern. An example from our work: a handguard in the colours of the Frisian flag. You can combine your design with a laser engraving of your logo, name or text.
Tips for choosing
- Think about use: a hunting rifle in a natural shade stands out less in the field.
- Look at the parts that won’t be coated, such as grips or a wooden stock, and choose a colour that goes with them.
- Not sure? Send a photo of your firearm with your quote request and we’ll help you decide.
