Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) Pistol Frame Coating

Add a clean, high-end accent to your Pistol Frame with our Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating. DLC delivers a smooth, deep, dark finish with a hard, low-friction surface that’s built for real use—helping reduce wear while maintaining a clean, premium look without going flashy. 

About DLC: DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) is a thin-film coating applied in a vacuum process that deposits carbon-based material onto the part to form a hard, low-friction surface layer. It’s commonly used to improve wear resistance, reduce friction, and add corrosion protection while maintaining a clean, deep, dark finish.

Color Disclaimer: “Diamond-like Carbon (DLC)” refers to the specific tone shown in the product photos. Final appearance can vary slightly depending on lighting, surface finish, and batch. Photo Disclaimer: Product photos are edited for clarity and consistency. Actual color may vary based on lighting, screen settings, surface finish, and coating batch. Service only: You must supply/send in your own Pistol Frame. Zero Substitutions. Satin Finish Only. 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.
