Cerakote Examples - Magpul Flat Dark Earth

Cerkote - Magpul Flat Dark Earth

Magpul Flat Dark Earth is a popular color, as it blends in in natural environments and because it matches the Magpul components and magazines.  It is also a useful color in Camouflage patterns.

Cerakote Examples - Coyote Tan

Cerakote - Coyote Tan

Coyote Tan is a mid-range tan that is slightly browner than flat dark earth to our eyes.  It is a great color on its own and is useful in camouflage patterns.

Cerakote Examples - Sniper Grey

Cerakote - Sniper Grey

Sniper Grey is one of our favorite colors, especially for our custom rifles.  It never looks out of place on a firearm, and goes well with most of the other colors, wood, and camouflage patterns.  We also use Sniper Grey in some of our camouflage patterns.  Sniper Grey and OD Green is probably our favorite combination.
