Firearm Components Cerakote Service
(Covers Actions, Receivers & Incomplete Firearms)
Transform your firearm’s core components with professionally applied Cerakote, completed entirely in-house at Gun For Hire. This ceramic-based coating delivers corrosion resistance, chemical protection, and long-term durability for real-world use. Like any finish, high-contact areas may show wear over time — but when properly applied, Cerakote provides a tough, professional-grade surface built to perform.
Components Commonly Coated Include:
• Slide
• Frame
• Handguard / Rail
• Stock
• Barrel
• Upper Receiver
• Lower Receiver
• Bolt Action Receiver
• Grip
• Pump Assembly
• Buffer Tube
• Forend
• Magazine Tube
• Other stripped or incomplete firearm components
This service is ideal for stripped firearm actions, receivers, and individual components — including AR uppers and lowers, bolt-action receiver bodies, and similar platforms.
Every project includes:
• Complete cleaning and surface preparation
• One in-stock Cerakote color
• Precision in-house application and curing
Additional colors and small components can be added during your consultation.
Why Choose Our Actions, Receivers and Incomplete Firearms

Gun For Hire is the only 6-Star range and firearms facility offering a true all-in-one environment. Your components are not being shipped out — our Cerakote work is performed in-house within the same professional facility that includes our retail store, training academy, indoor range, and gunsmithing services.
That means experienced firearm professionals, proper handling from intake to pickup, and a process built around firearm safety, consistency, and performance — not just a coating shop. Your action or receiver stays in a controlled firearms environment the entire time.
Small Parts Coating:
Small parts such as controls, pins and other detailed components require additional preparation and precision handling. An additional $30 applies to cover the extra labor involved in coating small, detailed components.
First Color Is Included:
Your first color is included in the base service price of $250. You may select any color from our in-stock Cerakote library at no additional charge. If you choose a custom-ordered color as your primary color, a $30 custom color fee will apply.
Second / Additional Colors:
Additional colors can be added to your project:
• Additional Stock Color – $45 per color
• Additional Custom Color – $75 per color
All final color selections are confirmed during your in-person consultation at drop-off.
