Live Oak, United States – July 13, 2026 / RTF3TX Gunsmithing /
SAN ANTONIO, Texas – RTF3TX Gunsmithing, a provider of master gunsmith services in the San Antonio and Live Oak areas, has announced the official launch of its Cerakote coating and custom firearm refinishing services. The new offering brings protective ceramic finishes to local firearm enthusiasts, competitive shooters, and law enforcement professionals.
Cerakote is a thin-film ceramic coating recognized across the industry for its resistance to abrasion, corrosion, chemical exposure, and impact. RTF3TX Gunsmithing integrates media blasting preparation with detailed application techniques to deliver a durable finish on each firearm that comes through the shop.
The launch marks a significant milestone for the veteran-owned business. The founder of RTF3TX Gunsmithing brings 26.5 years of professional wide-body aircraft painting experience to the workshop. That background in aerospace coatings translates directly into a level of precision, surface preparation, and quality control that distinguishes the shop from standard firearm refinishing operations. The team’s aerospace expertise ensures that every piece is blasted and coated to exacting standards.
The founder’s son, Peter, has joined the business as a dedicated prepper and apprentice. Working side-by-side, the father-and-son team combines decades of specialized coating knowledge with a shared commitment to craftsmanship, providing personalized service and consistent turnaround times for each customer.
RTF3TX Gunsmithing handles custom tactical finishes, solid color applications, and multi-color patterns designed to protect and personalize rifles, shotguns, and handguns. Every project is completed in-house using professional-grade equipment, ensuring that the integrity and tolerances of each firearm are properly maintained throughout the process.
