Premium Decorative PVD Finishes Add Value to Firearms & Knives

The new VaporTech® Signature PVD Finishes Collection™, unveiled last week at the SHOT Show Supplier Showcase, includes four new PVD finishes designed to enhance premium firearms. Coating outdoor sports products with physical vapor deposition (PVD) coatings provides superior durability and performance, and this new collection adds refined aesthetics and a luxurious appearance for discerning firearms enthusiasts.

Captivating and durable, the VaporTech Signature PVD Finishes Collection offers a distinctive, warm, yet bold palette that complements today's in-demand color trends while ensuring your products' long-term appeal. The collection includes four elevated PVD colors: Midnight Black, Autumn Bronze, Stormy Gray, and Sunset Gold.

"We'd been hearing from customers interested in a curated collection of PVD finishes for luxe product consumers," David Wayne, Commercial Services Director, explained at the show. "Our R&D scientists were excited to develop this line of unique warm colors that add value to our customers' high-end firearms and knives."
