Cerakote Ceramic Coating
"Turning the ordinary into legend—one rugged masterpiece at a time." - My Mission
Every finish tells a story—yours.
At BAM Customs, this isn’t just coating—it’s your story. I take what’s ordinary, worn, or overlooked and turn it into something legendary. Whether it’s ceramic coating a firearm to be passed down through generations, machine built for the streets, or something wild you’ve only imagined. The cerakote finish I lay down is more than protection—it’s a reflection of your grit, your pride, and your purpose. I don’t just finish rugged masterpieces—I bring your story to life with layered detail, raw style, and hand-laid artistry.
Because the “finish” isn’t the end—it’s where your story takes the spotlight.

EXCELLENT Based on 96 reviews Jeremy Smith2025-06-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did a fantastic job on these ARH headers for my C5 Z06. THANKS AGAIN! Nick “Murdic3k” Murdic2025-06-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First of all, solid guy and solid business. I intended to leave this review years ago but I never got around to it. My bad. He did a great job on my Aero Precision EPC-9. I will come back for any future cerakote needs. J.D. Anderson2025-05-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I chose this shop for cerakoting due to the quick lead time compared to the big shop in town (10 business days vs. 8-10 weeks quoted by the big shop!) Not only did he do a great job on the slide and deliver within the 10 business days, but I had the opportunity to view some of his custom work while I was there- and WOW! My only regret is that I didn’t request a more customized piece to allow him to fully showcase his talent. He does some incredible work! I highly recommend this shop and will definitely use him again for all my cerakoting. Austin Phillips2025-05-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David did an incredible job cerakoting my Henry rifle. He took the time to ensure that the job was done correctly and was incredibly quick to complete it! He is very patient and understanding and genuinely wants to make your dream become reality and he won’t stop until you are happy. YOU WONT FIND ANYONE BETTER!!!!!! Jorge Lopez2025-05-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had my wife's gun done in her favorite color. Service was very fast, dropped it off Friday, and picked it up the following Wednesday. Dave does excellent work and has an excellent eye for detail, helping me achieve the vision i had for this to come out perfectly. Daniel Souviron2025-04-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bams customs had done three of my firearms and has always knocked it out of the park. Highly recommend of you are needing any custom or refinishing work! Josh Sartin2025-03-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome guy. Had a set of LS turbo headers and turbo kit coated in Matte black. Very reasonably priced and came out perfect. Also, I had it all back within 10 business days (8 I think). I’ll be a returning customer for sure. Gene Cook2025-03-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave did an awesome job doing a Cerakote finish on my CZ75. I reached out to Dave after I got a little dumb and impatient attempting to install sights on my CZ and lost a fight with a bench vice. That ended up doing some cosmetic damage to my slide which I wasn't happy with. Dave was able to smooth out the marks and refinish in Graphite Black Cerakote. He also took a look at my grips and suggested we do a distressed red on black finish on the slide to match them which I hadn't thought of but thought it would help cover up any imperfections I had caused. I am so glad he did. I love how it turned out and am impressed how well it matches, it's just the right amount of red to look classy and not too flashy. Thanks again Dave! nick morrow2025-03-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

WELCOME TO BAM CUSTOMS
“Precision takes time. Art takes obsession. I’ve spent over a decade perfecting the art of cerakote tough finishes—not because I had to, but because I couldn’t do it any other way. I don’t take shortcuts, and I don’t just coat parts. I create finishes built to survive, stand out, and carry meaning. If it matters to you, it matters to me. This work is my name, my hands, and my promise. Because what I finish isn’t just yours… it’s part of the legacy you’ll leave behind.”
