Branson Cerakote is a certified Cerakote applicator. We coat firearms, Oakley sunglasses, Yeti mugs, design custom stencils, and offer full FFL services.
Located in the Missouri Ozarks, Branson Cerakote is a veteran owned small business that takes pride in putting the customer first. John and Laura are firearms enthusiasts who enjoy owning as well as working with firearms. As an independent, small business, our main focus is Cerakoting items; however we are not limited to firearms.
John is a factory certified applicator. With a shop boasting top-of-the-line equipment, John ensures that each customer receives a product that meets the Cerakote standard. John understands that the Cerakote coating is only as good as the details that go into the preparation to apply that coating. That is why every step of the process is done to standard to ensure an end product that will stand the test of time.
Why Cerakote? Cerakote's title as the toughest firearms finish is well earned, out-performing competitors in both laboratory settings and real world applications. For instance, Cerakote can withstand over 3,500 hours of salt-water spray without any corrosion being detected. Cerakote is a ceramic based finish that has been formulated to be abrasion, wear, corrosion, chemical, and impact resistant. Cerakote offers two different products: a heat cure product and an air cured product. Further, Cerakote comes in over 100 different colors, making it easy to personalize your firearm. Cerakote has become the choice of many manufactures not only for firearms but for exhaust and engine applications and so much more. When applied, Cerakote is anywhere from .0005 - .001 thickness which is a big plus when dealing with very tight and crucial tolerances.
Why chose Branson Cerakote? A quick Google search will garner many websites, Youtube videos, and blogs on how to do-it-yourself. However, many of the blogs are quick to tell the tale of less than satisfactory results. In fact, there are many precise steps involved in the correct preparation, application, and curing of the item being coated. One misstep at any point during this process can ruin the finish. Something as simple as inadvertently touching a wet surface prior to curing can completely negate the process, resulting in having to start the process from scratch.
We built our shop with top-of-the-line equipment and took the added step of being factory trained and certified by NIC, the parent company of Cerakote, at their White City, Oregon plant. We also offer our customers the advantage of in-house, custom stencil designs to personalize their item for no added charge.
