Why Aerospace & Defense Programs Trust Our Coatings
When you send parts to us, they don’t just “go to paint.” They enter a controlled, documented process that mirrors the way aerospace and defense teams already work. We receive your parts against a packing list, verify counts and condition, and review your drawings, specifications, notes, and special instructions before any surface prep begins.
Every coating run is built around maintaining the dimensions, clearances, and performance your engineers designed in. We pay particular attention to critical interfaces: bearing bores, sealing surfaces, threaded features, grounding points, and any no-coat zones you call out. Masking is treated as its own step, not an afterthought.
Once coating is applied, film build and cure are controlled within the window required by the coating manufacturer and your process notes. Parts are then inspected, cleaned, and packaged for return so they can move directly into assembly, test, or integration without surprises.
What you can expect from us:
Work to your drawings, specs, and written instructions—not “shop memory”
Careful masking of critical features and tight-tolerance areas
Consistent film build and cure cycles for repeatable performance
Clear communication if anything in your print or hardware is unclear
A partner that understands your first-article parts and production runs are on the clock
Aerospace-Grade Process Control
Every part is finished using repeatable, documented processes designed for consistency, reliability, and traceability.
Certified, Factory-Trained Technicians
25+ years of coating experience, including advanced ceramics, functional coatings, and industrial powder finishing.
Rapid Turnaround Without Compromising Standards
Streamlined workflow for consistent delivery timelines — even for complex assemblies or multi-stage coatings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is your low-reflective coating ASTM E595 compliant?
Yes. Our low-reflective coatings, including Cerakote LR Black, are compliant with ASTM E595-15, the outgassing standard used for space and vacuum applications.
Do your coatings resist atomic oxygen in space environments?
Our low-reflective coating is atomic-oxygen resistant and built to withstand harsh space environments, making it a fit for satellite imaging and optical sensor applications.
Can you apply EMI/RFI shielding coatings?
Yes. We apply conductive, metal-infused coatings for EMI/RFI shielding, grounding and controlled electrical pathways, with stable, repeatable ohmic values and corrosion protection.
Do you offer dielectric or electrical insulation coatings?
Yes. We apply high-dielectric Cerakote Electrical Barrier coatings that protect connectors, housings, PCBs, sensors and other mission-critical parts from arcing and short circuits.
Do you handle first-article parts and production runs?
Yes. Our Cocoa, FL facility handles first articles, small engineering builds and full production runs, with controlled surface prep, masking, coating and inspection.
What should I include with a quote request?
Your drawing number and revision, the coating type or specification, the substrate material and approximate quantities, and any critical surfaces or tight-tolerance areas. If your timeline is tight, include your required ship dates.
Where are you located?
