Cerakote colors and lighting

[Hintrod]

Does anyone know if a Hydra or Helios is ordered with the standard black is it a Cerakote Black and if so which black is it?

Standard is matte black for Hydra. Not the cerakote black.

This is the color I’m going with on my Helios, it’s advertised as color changing:

Cerakote - NORTHERN LIGHTS

Shop Cerakote NORTHERN LIGHTS H-315. Find the coating that fits your application. Choose from a wide variety of coatings with specific attributes and specialties.

I got a swatch and I love moving it in the light and watching the colors change.

I’m also thinking of accenting with tequila sunrise
in the circled area (will look a bit different as the Helios is more rounded but still think it will look good)

I just ordered my Hydra in Northern Lights! Can you post a picture (or video? ) of the swatch?

Nice! I think you will like it.
This demonstrates the blue/green transition pretty well. It just rained so it isn’t as good as the sun but you get the idea

I really like the color on this Stromer and I think Northern Light was the closest Cerakote color.

I sadly can’t find my tequila sunrise swatch. Those two look great together. There is a pic of the combo in the gallery @reed scott linked.

Thanks! Yeah I love the blue/green transition, it looks even stronger on a lot of the pictures in the Cerakote gallery, but most of those are in artificial lighting I think.

So I just got my Northern Lights and Polar Blue swatches. Here's some photos in various lighting and angles!

Edit - bonus video (though YouTube kind of demolished the resolution):

@kwseattle they all look so good. Such a hard decision!

Kw you're gonna have another pretty one I can tell. So many of the colors look so good. And that it's a ceramic coating sounds very promising. I've gone to having ceramic coatings put on my vehicles to protect the factory paint more.

I know - I think I'm leaning towards Polar Blue at this point... After seeing Acme's.

I have ceramic coated my car and it is AMAZING in the PNW, where the rain just beads off and it makes it so much easier to wash. It's a pain to apply, and quite expensive to have done professionally though - the paint needs to be polished to perfection before applying otherwise you end up covering up a bunch of scratches and it will not look good.
