DLC Services. Diamond-like carbon is a class of amorphous carbon material that displays some of the typical properties of diamond. DLC coatings are environmentally friendly and can be used to reduce friction, wear, fretting, galling and corrosion.

***FRAME MUST BE 100% DISASSEMBLED OR YOU WILL BE CHARGED A MINIUMUM OF 2 SHOP HOURS FOR TAKE DOWN AND REBUILD***

Frame not included. Price listed covers the cost of the coating of your frame only. We do not supply the frame nor sell them.

Color Fill Policy: Color fill of any kind is offered only in Cerakote H-Series. We do not provide color fill on Elite, E-Series, C-Series, or any other finish or coating. If you want color fill, please select an H-Series finish. Color fill availability is determined at our discretion based on geometry, engraving depth, and surface prep requirements. Color Matching Policy (Cerakote / DLC / PVD / Anodizing):We do not offer custom color matching of Cerakote to DLC, PVD, or Anodized finishes. These finishes are applied to different materials and through different processes, and the same “color” can vary by substrate, batch, texture, and lighting. Because an exact match cannot be guaranteed or consistently repeated, we only apply Cerakote in our standard color options and we do not do one-off custom mixes or sample runs.

    Aluminum 1911 frame

    Posted by Don on Sep 23rd 2025

    I wasn’t convinced the aluminum frame would match everything. But it surprisingly does. I’m really happy with it. I would’nt hesitate to use Vulcan again

    DLC Coating on a 1911 frame

    Posted by Howard Zillman on Apr 15th 2025

    I had my 1911 frame coated to help protect it from slide wear (it's an aluminum frame). The frame looks great and adds a nice touch in black against the stainless steel slide. Well done!
