It has a Black-T finish, which is very durable from my experience. Right up there alongside Cerakoting. Here is the description: Black-T is a multi-step process that employs a series of chemically bonding production steps that will provide optimal protection against rust, corrosion and external damage. It can be used in a variety of applications across a broad number of metal substrates, including steel, stainless, aluminum, magnesium, titanium, brass, etc.
