IMHO, it depends on the Applicator's work load, need for cash flow, etc. But, figure from $150 to $250. BTW, I'm a real fan of CeraKote coatings. I have a 1911 in 45acp 100% coated and it is doing exactly what I wanted it to do. ............ Big Cholla

Google "Cerakote". They have an applicator search on their web site. Many of the listed applicators have their own web sites. And, many of the applicators have price list on their sites. You can also search the Cerakote site by ZIP Code to find applicators in your immediate area. Simple, huh!

For example there are 6 or so applicators within 30 miles of my house. Some are certified and some are not. I have a TZ-75 I have considered having the slide done on. One applicator is only 2 1/2 miles from the house.

Cerakote is great stuff as I have had several Sig pistols redone and they had held up really well. On the Sig forum there were several certified dealers doing them and they often offered discounts to members of that forum. I used Customized Creationz in Michigan and I had to pay a lot for the shipping but to me it was worth it.

I had a Glock slide refinished in CeraKote in 1 color and removed everything first (sights, firing pin, etc). I also hand delivered it to the applicator. So i saved money on smith time, delivery\return and insurance. Guy did a awesome job - and really knows his stuff too! Email me if you want further info. .
