The Finish That Lasts

Why Cerakote?

Cerakote is a polymer-ceramic coating engineered specifically for firearms. It outperforms traditional bluing, parkerizing, and anodizing in corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and temperature tolerance, all without affecting fit, form, or function.

Whether you need a fresh tactical finish on a carry gun, a custom camo pattern for your hunting rifle, or something one-of-a-kind, we make it happen right here in Blair.

Your Applicator

Meet Ted Pajak

Ted hails from Baltimore, Maryland, and began his career serving in the United States Army as a 68C Practical Nursing Specialist, nearly a decade spent in medical research, on the line, and in field hospitals across the world. He holds multiple certifications in prehospital and emergency medicine with deep hands-on experience in trauma care.

Ted left the Army in 2023 and in 2024 became a NIC certified Cerakote Applicator, excelling through the certification course and stepping naturally into the role of Cerakote lead at War Quail. Whether you want a tactical single color finish, a custom camo pattern, or something completely one of a kind, Ted brings the same precision and attention to detail he developed in uniform.

When he isn't in the Cerakote booth, Ted also serves as a Pediatric Nurse at JCMH in Altus.
