Cerakote Application Services

BOCO Ballistics offers Cerakote application services for all new builds and used firearms alike. We useCerakote H-Series, a heavy-duty, oven-cured paint used for many applications such as firearms, for all new firearms we manufacture.

BOCO Ballistics provides the entire Cerakote experience from picking out colors to blasting and acetone bathing your components down to the raw metal, to applying and curing the paint in our Cerakote Certified paint oven, and even creating a unique stencil pattern pre-application.

Not sure which color you want for your newest BOCO firearm?

We have full Cerakote H-Series swatch sets on hand to show the end-user exactly what the colors look like on aluminum. Interested in a unique paint job or camo pattern? BOCO makes its own stencils in-house, so there is no camo design too outlandish for us to tackle.

What is the lead-time for Cerakote gun application?

We are typically on a 1-week turnaround for both new manufactured firearms and used firearms. If for any reason the lead-time changes, the customer is notified at the time of purchase and/or appointment.
