Cerakote Laser Imaging

Photographic images, crests, logos, landscapes and custom artwork permanently laser-imaged into Cerakote-coated surfaces. Using high-resolution fibre laser ablation, we remove the top ceramic layer to expose the contrasting substrate beneath, creating a crisp, non-fading image that becomes part of the finish itself. Ideal for commemorative pieces, unit markings, family portraits and brand identifiers. The surface must first be prepared as a Cerakote finish, and the same fibre laser personalises leather holsters and bags to match.

How It Works

Step 01
Artwork preparation
The image is prepared for ablation — contrast, tonal range and line weight are adjusted for the coating rather than for paper.
Step 02
Base coating
The part is Cerakoted in the colour that will surround the image. The coating is the ink; the substrate is the paper.
Step 03
Laser ablation
A fibre laser removes the ceramic in graduated passes, exposing the contrasting metal beneath at photographic resolution.
Step 04
Seal and inspect
Edges are cleaned, the piece is inspected under raking light and reassembled.

Cerakote Laser Imaging, answered.

Can you laser a photograph onto a firearm?

Yes — portraits, landscapes and crests are imaged at photographic resolution. Bring the highest resolution original you have; detail cannot be invented at the laser.
