Cerakote Finishes
Cerakote is a durable protective coating; however, all finishes will experience wear over time depending on use and environmental conditions.
Color appearance may vary due to lighting, screen settings, material composition, and manufacturing variations.
Exact color matching cannot be guaranteed.
Laser Engraving
Customers are responsible for ensuring they have permission to reproduce any artwork, logo, trademark, or copyrighted material submitted for engraving.
Minor variations in engraving depth, color, and appearance may occur due to differences in materials and manufacturing processes.
Stippling Services
Stippling permanently alters polymer surfaces and cannot be reversed.
Customers acknowledge that stippling involves permanent material removal and texture modification.
Second Sons Cerakote & Laser is not responsible for dissatisfaction resulting from texture preference after work has been completed and approved.
Customers requesting pistol frame stippling must provide an empty magazine for fitment and testing purposes.

All turnaround times are estimates only.
Completion times may vary due to workload, material availability, curing schedules, equipment maintenance, shipping delays, or unforeseen circumstances.
Second Sons Cerakote & Laser does not guarantee specific completion dates unless agreed upon in writing.

Due to the custom and permanent nature of Cerakote, engraving, and stippling services, all sales are final.
No refunds will be issued once work has begun.
