What every price includes
- Full disassembly
- Ultrasonic cleaning and surface prep
- Cerakote application and cure
- Final clean and lubrication
- Reassembly and fitting
- A function check (no live fire)
While the Cerakote cures, your pistol goes through our ultrasonic cleaning tank. Please send the complete firearm, even if we are only coating the slide or frame, so we can make sure tolerances stay right and the pistol fits and cycles properly.
