Testimonials
IA Coatings delivered the highest quality product we have ever seen. Their coating allowed us to achieve heights we never imagined. Great guys, great coatings. 5 Stars.
Thank you very much for the customer service and a quality job. It is exactly what I was looking for and extremely pleased. I will most definitely be recommending you and the company.
Big thanks to you guys for the manganese phosphate coating. Gun shoots great by the way. Thank you for the amazing custom Cerakote.
Got my Beretta pistol a little color. Thanks to IA Coatings on their great work. Definitely have some more plans with Cerakote.
Can’t say how good this company is. I have have had several firearms coated here and each one was finished great. Just had wheels coated and great as well. Their coating is spectacular, their pricing is fair and competitive, their turn-around time is amazing, and their communication is great!
Awesome job by the crew at IA Coatings. Tracey and his crew are top notch on service and the coating turned out flawless. I will definitely contact IA Coatings on my next build.
I sent to metal golf club heads to be ceramic coated to match my 2008 Taylormade burner driver. The result was way better than I had anticipated. Tracey, Rod and their crew did a fantastic job and we’re very easy to work with. I highly recommend them for any ceramic coating work you need.
These guys Cerakoted the engine fan housing and fan from a 3.2 liter Porsche 911 motor for me. They did it at a better price and weeks faster than anyone else I got a quote from, doing the job the same day I dropped it off. Jesse is great to work with on automotive stuff. Highly recommend!
These guys are the real deal. They do all of the coatings for West Fork Armory. They also do various coatings for NASA, GOV, NASCAR, and every other secret project you’re not allowed to hear about!
The people are extremely friendly! My school, University of Houston, gets their competitive rockets painted from here every year, and the quality is always nothing but the best. Last year, the team reached an apogee of 35,869 ft in the 30K COTS category at Spaceport America Cup.
