Optic Cerakote

Cerakote your optic to match your gun!

Since 2012 Tactical Penguin has been the nation’s premiere CERTIFIED Cerakote applicator. Every customer we serve is treated like the absolute most important customer we have ever had — because YOU ARE.

This is a step that gets skipped by a lot of customers... This is a mistake. Coating your optic brings everything together and makes your entire setup look intentional instead of making your optic look like an afterthought.

With Cerakote, we can transform your optic into something that actually reflects your style and personality. Whether you want clean, modern colors that match your swag, subtle earth tones that still keep that hunting vibe, camouflage patterns, or a fully themed piece of artwork — we can make it happen.

Want a simple color that looks sharp and modern? Easy.
Want a camo pattern that matches your carry pistol? Done.
Want a wild theme that becomes the centerpiece of your entire outfit? Absolutely.

If you can dream it up, our job is to say YES and turn it into a clean, professional finish that looks incredible and lasts for years.

Every Cerakote job we do is applied with obsessive attention to detail, because when your trophy leaves our shop it’s not just coated — it’s customized.

Book your Cerakote knife project today and find out why Tactical Penguin simply can’t be beat.

Definitions:

Solid Color - pretty self explanatory on this one. Solid color is one single color on every part in the project. In the case of optics there is only one "part"

2 tone or battleworn - 2 tone is a mix of 2 solid colors on each individual part in the project. Battleworn is a base of one color and then a light coat of a second color on top with hand "worn" spots to give it an antiqued or used look.

Simple Pattern - Up to 4 colors layered one solid color per layer with no fades. Examples would be duck camo, cell shading (manga), or M81 woodland.

Complex Pattern or Theme - Complex pattern is up to 8 colors with 2 colors per layer, one fade per layer. Examples would be any of the multicam patterns or kryptek patterns. Themes would be any topic you choose done up to your specs. Examples would include "buzz lightyear" "jurrassic park" or "milwaukee tools".

Tactical Penguin Cerakote Warranty

We stand behind our work. Period.

Every Cerakote job we do is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty for the original purchaser. If your finish cracks, chips, peels, wears prematurely, or otherwise fails to perform the way a properly applied Cerakote finish should, we’ll redo the work for free.

No drama. No runaround.

That said, Cerakote is tough — but it’s not magic. If you decide to beat your project against a tree, drag it behind your truck, or roll it down a rocky hill, that kind of “testing” falls outside the warranty. Normal use? Covered. Abuse and intentional destruction? That one’s on you.

Bottom line: if the finish fails because of something we did, we’ll make it right.

That’s the Tactical Penguin guarantee.
