Cerakote Graphite Black (C-102)

Black is the workhorse of the Cerakote catalog — the most-sprayed family by a wide margin. The differences between blacks are subtle on a screen and obvious on a finished part: sheen, depth, and how much shop light they swallow.

C-Series is air-cure and rated for high temperatures, which is why it's the pick for suppressors, exhausts, and headers.

Common jobs: Full refinishes, slides and small parts, automotive trim, knife blades, and as the base coat under nearly every battleworn job.
