Cerakote Graphite Black (V-146)
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.
V-Series is an air-cure thin-film formulation for tight-tolerance parts where added thickness matters.
Common jobs: Full refinishes, slides and small parts, automotive trim, knife blades, and as the base coat under nearly every battleworn job.

The swatch above is a close on-screen approximation of cured Graphite Black under neutral light.
