Cerakote Shale (F-118)
Greys run from near-black charcoals to light stone tones, and they're the family where on-screen comparison pays off most — two greys that look identical in a bottle photo can be a full shade apart cured.
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: Two-tone builds, urban camo schemes, automotive brackets and calipers, and anywhere a customer wants 'not black, but subtle.'
Colors that pair with Shale
