Most powder coating and Cerakote projects are completed within 3–7 business days. Larger parts, heavy rust removal, multi-stage finishes, or specialty colors can extend turnaround time. Every job includes blasting, prep, coating, and curing, and we provide a clear timeline before work begins.
NXT LVL
Professional Coating & Surface Finishing Services
Powder coating is the best way to get metal parts that look new and perform for years. NXT LVL Coatings uses high-quality powders and precision application to create a finish that’s thicker, tougher, and more protective than paint.

Finish Options
- Hundreds of colors and textures from OEM-matched tones to bold custom shades, with options for smooth, textured, or ultra-fine surface feel.
- Metallics, gloss, matte, and satin dial in the exact sheen and reflectivity to fit your build, from mirror bright to stealth flat.
- Wrinkle, candy, and specialty effects premium coatings that add depth, dimension, and unique visual character you will not get from standard paint.



Cerakote is a thin-film, high-performance ceramic coating engineered for parts that demand extreme durability and long-term protection. It resists heat, wear, corrosion, chemicals, and hard use—while maintaining tight tolerances and crisp, detailed lines.

Performance Advantages
- Ultra-thin, precision application that maintains tight tolerances, crisp edges, and clean mechanical fitment on slides, receivers, and small components.
- Exceptional wear and abrasion resistance that is built to handle hard use, friction points, holster wear, and repeated cycling without breaking down.
- High-heat and chemical protection that resists extreme temperatures, oils, solvents, and corrosive environments that would damage paint or powder.

Media blasting is the essential first step for any high-quality, long-lasting finish. It removes rust, paint, contaminants, and surface defects—creating clean, uniform metal with the ideal profile for powder coating, Cerakote, or raw refinishing.

Prep Advantages
- Clean, consistent surface preparation strips away rust, paint, and buildup while restoring a uniform texture across every part.
- Superior coating adhesion creates the proper surface profile that allows powder and Cerakote to bond deeper, last longer, and resist chipping.
- Controlled, part-specific blasting media type, pressure, and technique are tuned to clean aggressively without risking warping, etching, or damage.







Yes, professional blasting and surface prep are included with every coating project. Blasting removes rust, paint, scale, and contaminants to ensure proper adhesion. Proper prep is the foundation of a durable, long-lasting finish.
Powder coating is significantly more durable than traditional liquid paint. It resists chipping, scratching, UV damage, chemicals, and corrosion. The baked-on finish provides long-term protection for parts exposed to wear and weather.
We offer hundreds of color and finish options for both powder coating and Cerakote. Choices include gloss, satin, matte, metallics, textures, and OEM-style colors. Whether you want a factory-correct look or a bold custom finish, we’ll help you choose the right coating for your project.
Getting a quote is simple—send photos, part size, material type, and desired finish. We review your project and provide clear pricing, prep requirements, and turnaround time. This ensures there are no surprises before work begins.
Powder coating is thicker and ideal for high-durability exterior finishes, while Cerakote is an ultra-thin ceramic coating designed for precision and high-heat applications. Cerakote preserves tight tolerances and performs well in extreme conditions.
