Pattern guide

The dragon scale Cerakote pattern

Dragon scale lays pointed, overlapping shield scales in tight rows — chunkier and more aggressive than snakeskin. It suits blades and bolt-action builds like it evolved there.

How it sprays

Scale stencil in overlapping rows with a dark lining pass. A subtle top-down highlight mist adds depth.

Choosing colors
