FAQ

How long does a cerakote finish take?
Our standard turnaround is a minimum of 1 week from the time we receive your slide, depending on current order volume. We'll keep you updated throughout the process so you know exactly where your slide stands.

Do I need to strip my slide before shipping it for cerakote service?
Not necessarily — you can ship a fully stripped slide, or choose our optional internal component and iron sight removal/reinstallation services at checkout, and we'll handle the disassembly and reassembly for you.

What cerakote colors are available for pistol slides?
We offer a curated selection of popular finishes — Coyote Tan, Tungsten, OD Green, Bronze, and Carbon Black. Looking for something outside that list? Add your color request in the order comments and we'll let you know if we can accommodate it.
