Southridge Arms

Dave does an outstanding job and is located down in Orting. He's an excellent finisher and a good mechanic.

I've had Dave do two projects for me and was very happy with the results and turn around time.

http://www.northwesthydroprint.com/ I've also had these guys do stuff for me too and was happy with the results. The ATAC-FG AR is mine in the gallery.

Are you a member of seattleguns.net? There is a guy there, TA, who does good work. He's in Woodinville.

I heard that West Coast Armory does Certakote. What little I saw of their work seemed pretty nice. Whatever you decide to do, avoid Brothers N Arms in Ellensberg like the plaque. They screwed up several of my firearms. After some digging, I found that I waqsn't the first. It's really hard to find a good Cerakote applicator. I'd go with someone off of Cerakote's website as the only "Authorized Applicators" have actually been to Cerakote's school and taught properly how to use their product.

A buddy of mine and me started our own Cerakote setup. You don't need to go to their school to be good, just do your homework and honestly 90% of it is in the prep work like any painting product.

Here's a HK USP frame I Cerakoted in Magpul FDE.

Mad custom coating did a good cerakote job for me

I have not found any of yet, but only spent a little time looking so far. I did find these company in CA that has expensive experience and just planned on sending some items their way for TiN coating.

As for NiB or NP3 coating ROBAR has been doing it for many years and generally regarded as one of, if not, the best.
