NC Currahee Coatings

Currahee Coatings is a combat veteran-owned custom coating and laser engraving business based in Wendell, North Carolina, serving the greater Raleigh area and customers nationwide. The company offers Cerakote finishes and custom pattern work for firearms and gear, including pistols, shotguns, AR and AK platforms, submachine guns, lever-action and bolt-action firearms, and revolvers. It also provides precision laser engraving and is licensed as an FFL07/SOT, allowing it to handle suppressors and other NFA items.

Each coating project follows a detailed process: parts are stripped and disassembled, degreased, media blasted, and prepared before customers confirm their color choice. Coatings are applied and cured to Cerakote specifications, then checked for thickness and adhesion. Customers can arrange an appointment for local drop-off or ship parts to the shop. Currahee Coatings typically quotes a two-to-four-week turnaround and provides updates throughout the process. The business is temporarily closed while a new shop is built and expects to resume operations at the beginning of 2027.
