Coating Descriptions: 

DLC (Black):

DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) is a very hard surface coating superior to all other PVD coatings. The DLC coating is very adaptable and has an excellent appearance that preserves the current finish, meaning, a bright stonewashed blade finish will be visible though the black DLC, while a matte finished blade will be a matte black DLC finish. You can get a dull/matte tactical finish on a bead blasted part or a more shiny finish on a part that is currently satin or stonewash. Be advised, if your part has scratches, emblems, logos etc they WILL show through the DLC after application. If you wish to have the logos, scratches, emblems removed prior to DLC, please check the bead blasting service box. DLC coating has excellent corrosion resistance and aids in ease of cleaning your items and looks best when oiled down. Please be advised that DLC does attract and show oils and finger prints. 

Gold (TiN):

A PVD Based Gold coating; Extremely thin, durable, and applicable to many products. Will preserve the current finish when applied without blasting, but can be applied in a Matte, flat finish as well. Laser engravings/makers marks/etchings will be coated with gold, though in some cases have ignored the gold and remain black/annealed, depending on how they were marked and engraved.

Thickness (Microns): 2-5μm

Primary Applications: Machining or iron based materials, metal forming

Rose (AlTiCn):

A PVD Based Rose coating; Extremely thin, durable, and applicable to many products. Will preserve the current finish when applied without blasting, but can be applied in a Matte, flat finish as well.

These Coatings are offered to us by a third party service based in the USA which we are authorized dealers for. Please note: In addition to our lead time, this service alone has its own lead time of 5 buisness days up to 3 months, meaning if you have a coating service in your order and any other mod, your order will not ship until items are back from coating despite the other parts being finished. We have no control over the lead time, so please wait 20 business days before asking for an update. Please keep in mind we cannot control the lead time of a third party service.
