There are a ton of guys out there doing small time Cerakote work. I'm one of them and 99% of my business is local and word of mouth. Most of the big players do excellent work including all the fancy stuff but they are expensive and take more time. If you have a unique design or project that requires serious work and creativity then it would best to use the bigger well known Cerakoters. It would most likely be worth the extra time and money. But if you just need simple work done like parts then you may want to see if there are any local Cerakoters near you. They will more likely be faster and less expensive.
