Some of you will have seen, no doubt, joint force enterprises handi work with cerakote on some fancy *albatross* real guns on Facebook. Well, there is now a UK NIC certified cerakote coater! They will be up and running next week and have fifty or so colours in already. I'm not affiliated to this company but I have been bugging them since January to get one of mine done! so when I got the email saying they're almost there today I thought I'd share the good news!

Details are:

Riflecraft Limited
18G Speedwell Way
Border Valley Industrial Estate
Harleston
Norfolk
IP20 9EH

Sweet. Apparently an advantage of Cerakote's treatment is it'll stick to pot alloys - can you confirm that?

Having spoken to them at some length and also JFE in the US about it they confirm it will and JFE have done quite a few Airsoft guns in their time. If you haven't seen their Facebook page check it out for what looks can be achieved. I'm going for burnt bronze. Riflecraft ordered it specially for me after bugging them intensely! Lol

Their facebook has nothing on it.

Care to explain what Cerakote is?

Ahhh my bad.
Had a gander and they do look pretty damn sweet.

The various camo schemes done to some rifles/pistols look especially good.

The camo schemes are actually water transfer ones BUT it can be done to a lesser extent with cerakote too.

Do they hydro transfer any modern patters like MC? I've been waiting on someone to start doing that in the UK for years.

As far as I'm awre they are offering cerakoted only. They don't have water transfer facilities. Worth giving them a call though perhaps?

Okay had confirmation that the prices are sorted now but they're on my iPad at home so I'll post them up later. Expect to pay £50 ex VAT for a pistol frame and slide, that's the only one I could remember off the top of my head!
