Cerakote is holding up very well and I am very satisfied with it.The same areas that had wear after the first 50 rounds have the same amount of wear after 600 rounds! The inside of the magwell is showing some dings but the Cerakote is staying on. I also used Cerakote in the lined Safariland holster so it does not have to rub against plastic.
Thanks again!

Prodigy Performance Coatings are the proud applicators of ceramic coatings for Orange County Choppers. The guy's at OCC are much happier with the Cerakote Product vs the competitors. Thanks Brandon Grady and all the men and women at NIC Industies. |

JoeWorx Inc. was started as a side business because I have always had a love for vintage firearms and enjoyed working on them. I searched extensively for a product that would set my company apart from the rest of the herd and found it in CerakoteTM. The problem I have now is for every firearm I have refinished I have gained what seems like two more customers. People notice the custom finishes of the firearms I coated and my customers are more than happy to refer them to me. I no this sounds crazy but This was supposed to be a "side" business and the NIC products have turned it into a very lucrative "small" business. Honestly I am not the best in the business but I have two things that put me above my competition. 1) JoeWorx Inc. is a "side business" created solely to do what I love to do in my spare time. What this means is I don't have to rush through a stack of guns to pay my power Bill, mortgage or clothe my kids, I can treat every firearm that comes across my bench as if it where my own and if it takes 8 hours to do 1 hour worth of work the right way I can and will do it. 2) CerakoteTM, This product sells it self! I have never had a customer that was not more than happy with the finish or that has not refereed me to at least one other person and more times than not multiple customer come from one CerakoteTM Application. I have used the other coatings and worked with one of the worlds best platers who by the way offers CerakoteTM there is no substitute for this product. A normal side effect of a freshly coated/plated firearm is a failure to feed some were in the first 50-100 rounds, I have never had a report of this "break-in" period causing a failure to feed or eject. I no longer explain to customers that this may happen until they "break-in" the finish. So if you don't want to be bothered by those irritating customers that ask a thousand and one questions use another coating solution! The NIC folks are great to deal with and have gone above and beyond for me without hesitation. To everyone at NIC Industries Thank you for everything Joe Ouellette |

| CeraKote is our top of the line coating. If you want the very best coating available look no further. CeraKote was developed by NIC Industries, Inc. CeraKote was designed to provide a high quality, long lasting finish, with high corrosion protection and durability. CeraKote is available in two compounds "C" series which is an ambient cure coating & "H" series which is a thermal cure coating. Unlike Teflon based gun coatings the "C" & "H" series of CeraKote offer unparalled levels of hardness and abrasion resistance because of their unique ceramic backbone. CeraKote is available in 31 standard colors. It provides excellent corrosion protection, outstanding abrasion resistance, extreme hardness, & unmatched durability. CeraKote surpasses Teflon based coatings for wear resistance by well over 60%. CeraKote has self lubricating elements incorporated through out the coatings matrix, this allow firearms to function with little or no fluid lubricants that typically attract abrasive dust particles. CeraKote performs extremely well in automatics with high cyclic rates. The "C" series ceramic gun coatings were designed as a single component ambient cure system. As higher tempatures are reached the "C" series will flux, becoming harder and more abrasion resistant. After a full cure this coating provides excellent resistance to most cleaning solivents and chemicals. It has a pencil scratch hardness (ASTM D3363) of 7h, exceeded the 5% salt spray test (ASTM B117) with well over 550 hrs, an adheasion cross cut tape (ASTM D3359) of 5B, & has an optimal film thickness of 0.5 to 1.0 mils. It has a heat stability rating in excess of 1200 degrees f for extended periods without failing. The "H" series was designed as a two part thermal cure system. It provides a very high quality, long lasting finish with high corrosion resistance. It offers unparalled levels of abrasion resistance and hardness because of the two part component system. The "H" series has a viscosity #2 Zahn cup of 13.0 sec, an optimal film thickness of 0.5 to 1.0 mils, passes the 5% salt spray test (ASTM B117) in excess of 2,500 hrs, has a pencil scratch hardness (ASTM D3363) of 7h, the adheasion cross cut tape (ASTM D3359 of 5B, and heat stability of 525 degrees f for extended periods without failing L.T.M Refinishing L.L.C., 1300 South Butler, Harrisonville, MO 64701 Hours of Operation: By appointment only.

| We have found NIC Industries clear coats to be an easy-to-use clear coat over the LuminOre product line. One of its best features is the ability to seal in the LuminOre without the detection of a clear coat being present on the surface of LuminOre. Many clear coats that we have tried, have a very thick film, which gives the appearance of a plastic look over the metal. NIC clear coats have the ability to eliminate this. | ||

| I wanted to take the time to let you know how satisfied I am with the Micro-Clear that I have used on customer parts, as well as my own. I used it on my aluminum wheels for my own personal vehicle. They went through one of our harsh Michigan winters, and still came out looking like brand new. Thank you for the quality product your company has provided me with. | ||

| I wanted to let you know how satisfied our customer is with the coating that we applied to his 60-foot sport fishing boat. The engines are two Detroit 16 V 92, we coated the valves, pistons, combustion area and the exhaust ports with the V 136 piston coat. The captain has reported that the engines are running stronger with lower fuel burn. After a trip to South America the captain was very pleased with the lack of soot on the transom. In addition he noticed a 7-knot increase at full throttle. The mechanic also believes that the coatings have improved the reliability as well as the efficiency and performance of the engines. We are now coating another set of heads for the mechanic. Thanks again for the quality products and support you and NIC has provided us. |

| I would like to take the time to tell you how impressed I am with the Micro-Clear that I have on my aluminum wheels, gas tank and toolbox that I have on my log truck. The product has been on my log truck for several weeks and has been abused to the fullest, and my truck looks great. I wash my truck every other day with two-stage soap that has acid in it. My aluminum on my truck has not oxidized, peeled, chipped, or scratched. I would like to mention that the area that I am hauling is being sprayed with Chloric Acid and has eaten everything on my truck except what was sprayed with Micro-Clear. | ||

| HD Rifles has used many coatings on the market, and out of all of those tried we have found that the ceramic coatings from NIC “Cerakote” and others to have proven by far the most superior on the market. WE in our shop have the ability to scrutinize every product tested in our shop with over 490 years of Special Operations Law Enforcement and Military experience. In short we are not easily impressed. However, NIC’s coatings and commitment to putting out a superior product have led us to the conclusion that in a world with environments so hostile that you only get on e shot. We as a whole feel that to offer anything less than the NIC coatings on all of our metal surfaces would be doing all of our customers who place their lives on the line everyday a great injustice. | ||

| I am really impressed with the ceramic header coatings. I use the V-Series with the Insulkote as a base coat. The material has great hiding power, is easy to spray, looks and performs great. We coated a set of headers in satin silver for a motor builder’s dyo a few months ago. He builds race engines for WASOTA class cares. He doesn’t use it every day but does several times a week. When he fires up the engines (600-800 HP turning 7000-8000+ RPM) the headers turn cherry red, after they cool the sliver color is as good as new. I was impressed but you should see the advertising we are getting from him. We coated a set of snowmobiles headers for a modified grass drag sled. After the season they came in to let us know how they did. At the nationals the class champion asked my customer to hand him a rope and tow him to the finish line. They dyno’d the motor before and after coating the headers and gained 10% more HP on an already built to the max motor. CHEAP HORSE POWER. Thanks for the great products. |

| At Falcon Gun Finishing refinishing firearms is solely what we do, therefore we use and have tried many different coatings. We have found the NIC Industries Cerakote to be most durable and abrasive resistant and highly recommend it to our customers that require or want utmost in protection and durability | ||
| Jeff Sternad - Falcon Gun Finishing | ||
| I want to thank you for providing me with the opportunity to use NIC Industries products. The Chromex ceramic coating worked excellent for us. As soon as we started to apply it, I could immediately tell it was a superior product to what we were using. Even without a vibratory polisher, it was extremely easy to polish and the final finish looked great. We are a small company, we are growing by the day, and I look forward to offering our customer's your wide range of products. I greatly appreciate you sending me the samples, it will help with our decision on expanding our services. NIC is a top notch operation, and your professionalism is of great value to us. Once again, thank you, and I look forward to working with you in the near future. |

The world's fastest four cylinder motor sport! Thank you so very much for your belief in me and sponsorship in our engine coatings.

| I want to thank Brandon Grady for introducing me to your Ceramic coatings of all kinds. With his help I have learned a great deal not only about your product but also how to apply it. This last Custom Commander I did for The Cheytac Company came out beautiful using NIC Cerakote Titanium finish on the frame. The pistol was displayed at the last Shot Show for many people to admire and all inquiries were handled by Anthony Taylor, who is the Vice President of Operations for Cheytac. I have been air brushing all types of finishes on frames and barrels for many years and even though I am now semi retired I am still the most experienced trigger man in North America, as that is all I do. These products made by NIC Industries are truly second to none and with people like Brandon Grady always there to help you there is no reason to use any other product. I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Brandon and NIC Industries. Should any of you ever want to contact me, please feel free to do so most any day. I have only used quality products through out my life, cost was never a deciding factor in the fact I always wanted the best product money can buy. |

| M16 Clinic is now using your Cerakote products with terrific results. Offering this additional product should increase M16 Clinic’s revenues significantly. Thank you for a great product. I also wish to compliment you on your staff. Brandon Grady, Account & Training Manager; and Mark Brouillard, Lab Manager has been invaluable to me. Brandon is one of the best sales reps with whom I work. His follow through on calls and orders placed is meticulous and much welcomed. His knowledge of your products is impressive. Mark Brouillard helped me along my product learning curve. Mark distilled into succinct terms, everything I needed to know about applications and results using Cerakote. Most importantly, each gentleman exhibited the utmost in professional carriage and customer communications. Polished and patient. Great service from both of them. | ||

| Just a note to say WOOOW!!! When my engine builder, Bush Machine & Marine, suggested we have our pistons Ceramic coated and the skirts treated, I thought it was a lot of money for something you couldn’t see. But I’ll never build another motor without doing the coating. I believe that the coating allowed us to run more timing and higher boost, making more horsepower and making it possible for us to set a speed record of 141.9 mph for an Eliminator Daytona 26’ Cat @ Parker Arizona on the 24th of April 2004. We are currently building a new motor with more boost “20 to 30 lbs” and will be making an attempt at 150 mph in April 2005. Thanks NIC for all the work and fantastic product. |

| We have found NIC’s Micro Dyne product to provide excellent protection as well as the aesthetic qualities our customers demand. We also find the Micro Dyne coatings very easy to use. Our work can be found from the desserts of the Middle East to the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Where applicable I would not hesitate to use the NIC products. NIC Industries has been a pleasure to work with and we look forward to many projects to come. Since establishing a relationship with NIC Industries we have always found them to be excellent in customer service and support. We appreciate their dedication to constant research and development, which in turn makes our job easier as well as many happy customers. The staff and the products that NIC Industries has to offer are a winning combination. |

| I have been using Molyresin on my pistols for a long time with good results. After having applied your Cerakote to about a dozen pistols now I find it to be a much more durable finish. From now on it is going to be the standard finish for my pistols. I am also going to add a link to my website to a page that will offer refinishing with Cerakote on customers pistols. Thanks for the great product. | ||
