About us
Fast turnaround, a finish you can’t get from paint or powder, and parts that still fit. We’re a Cerakote workshop in Towcester, Northamptonshire, coating machined brackets, suspension, exhausts and engine components for motorsport and precision engineering, every one sprayed by hand.
Cerakote is the world leader in thin-film ceramic coatings. It goes on at around 25 microns, far thinner than paint or powder coat, so threads, bores and mating faces keep their tolerances, and once oven-cured it leads conventional finishes for corrosion, chemical and wear resistance. Over 260 colours, from flat tactical finishes to gloss and metallics, plus exhaust-rated ceramics that live with the heat of a header or a turbo.
Speed without shortcuts. Every part is degreased, blasted, thread-plugged and masked by us before any coating goes on, so it bolts straight back together. One-off prototypes or full production runs, with every part in a batch matched to the first, a curing oven that takes parts up to three metres long, and ISO 9001 quality principles throughout. If your deadline can’t move, tell us. We’ve worked through the night to hit one before.
Look
closer.
A production batch from our workshop, up close.
Look at the ends. The bright threads were plugged before blasting, so they come back clean and ready to use. The graphics went on in the same run as the red.

The Colour
Room.
Not sure what colour you want? Most people aren’t at first. Pick one here, then open the Colour Room to turn it under different light, put it next to others and try it on your own CAD file.

Colours on screen are a guide. We always check against a real sample before we spray.
The Process.
From bare metal to boxed and ready: the six main stages.
Degrease
Every part is stripped of oil, grease and cutting fluid first, then baked to draw out any oil trapped in the metal. Coating won’t bond to anything left on the surface.
Mask & plug
Threads, bores and mating faces get plugged and taped before anything else happens. We agree what stays bare when we quote.
Blast
Media blasting gives the metal the surface profile Cerakote needs to grip.
Coat
Sprayed by hand in our booth in thin, even coats, so tight tolerances stay tight.
Cure
Where the coating calls for it, parts go in the oven at the time and temperature Cerakote specifies. Some finishes air-cure instead.
Inspect
Every part goes through strict quality control before it’s packed.

It helps to mention any threads, bores or faces that need to stay bare, and when you need the parts back.
