Cerakote Slate (F-103)
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.
F-Series is NIC's newest oven-cure line: PFAS-free chemistry, laser-optimized for engraving, with the same ceramic durability shops expect.
Common jobs: Full refinishes, slides and small parts, automotive trim, knife blades, and as the base coat under nearly every battleworn job.
Colors that pair with Slate
Proven two-tone and accent combinations shops run with black tones.
Similar shades to compare
The closest colors in the catalog by on-screen tone — worth comparing side by side on a photo of the actual part before you commit.
The swatch above is a close on-screen approximation of cured Slate under neutral light. Cured results vary with surface prep, film thickness, and lighting — always confirm with a spray-out panel. Cerakote® is a registered trademark of NIC Industries; FinishProof is an independent visualization tool.
