Cerakote Services in Tennessee
Factory Trained and Certified. Established in 2012.
BAM Customs delivers professional Cerakote services in Tennessee with a focus on real-world use. Cerakote is a thin-film ceramic coating used to improve durability, corrosion resistance, and performance without compromising fit. Whether the project involves firearm coating, high-temperature ceramic coatings, or industrial and specialty work, every job starts with the application. We evaluate how the part is used, what it is exposed to, and what matters most, including wear, heat, corrosion, or appearance. Choose a service below to match the level of work you need.
PLEASE READ: BAM Customs operates on a limited rolling production queue to maintain quality, consistency, and realistic turnaround times. Projects are reviewed before scheduling, and accepted work is placed into the next available production window. To start the process, visit the Get Started page and submit your project details for review.

Professional Cerakote Application Standards
All Cerakote services at BAM Customs follow the same disciplined process regardless of turnaround or application type. Each project is evaluated for surface condition, use case, and tolerance requirements before coating. Preparation, application, and curing are handled to maintain durability without compromising fit or function.
How Our Cerakote Process Works
Cerakote application begins with complete disassembly and surface preparation. Parts are cleaned, blasted, and inspected before coating. Each layer is applied with attention to thickness and coverage, then cured according to material and use requirements.
Cerakote Service FAQs
Below are answers to common questions about Cerakote services, application standards, and performance.
Cerakote is a thin-film ceramic coating used to improve durability, corrosion resistance, and wear protection. It is commonly applied to firearms and components where protection and appearance are both important.
Cerakote is applied as a thin coating and does not affect fit or function when properly applied. very tight tolerances on high end firearms may need lapping for fit. Each project is evaluated before coating to ensure tolerances are maintained.
Cerakote offers significantly higher abrasion and corrosion resistance than many traditional firearm finishes. Durability depends on use and environment, but it is designed for real-world conditions. https://www.cerakote.com/resources/testing
