Make it yours

Cerakote is a ceramic based finish that can be applied to metals, plastics, polymers and wood. The unique formulation used for Cerakote ceramic coating enhances a number of physical performance properties including abrasion/wear resistance, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, impact strength, and hardness.
Hydro Dipping is a surface decorating technology that allows you to apply complex designs and artwork to 3-dimensional items. The process is also called “Water Transfer Printing” and “hydrographics” (these will be used synonymously throughout this guide). Water Transfer Printing film is made out of a water-soluble material called PVA (polyvinyl alcohol). When applied to the surface of the water, the film will begin to soften and becomes very pliable.
