Shop tools built at the bench, for Cerakote applicators.
KLEEQ runs these every day. The core tools are free for any applicator; the Pro tier adds job logging, team sync and export for shops that want a record of every mix.
Mixing Calculator Lite
Pick any Cerakote code, weigh the coating, get catalyst and total mix to the tenth of a gram. Names the right catalyst and strainer for each series.
Finish Catalogue
All 266 Cerakote finishes with measured swatches, series specs, side-by-side compare, find-similar and a weekly check for new colours.
Colour Matcher
Photograph a customer part or a competitor swatch and get the nearest Cerakote codes, ranked by colour distance and sheen.
Swatch Export
Build a swatch sheet for a client from any collection in the catalogue and send it as a PDF with codes and sheens.
Mixing Calculator Pro
The full bench tool: job sheets with multiple mixes, a saved log per customer, notes and photos, CSV and PDF export, and mix history that syncs across the shop's devices.
Laser Log Pro
Laser-engraving recipes tied to each finish: power, speed, frequency, passes, with photos of the result. Share proven settings across the team and pull them up from the catalogue.
Shop Inventory
Track bottles on the shelf by code and lot, get low-stock flags, and see stock right inside the catalogue and calculator.
A spray booth has the same problems as a software shop. Nobody was writing the software.
Every applicator keeps a version of the same notebook: catalyst ratios scribbled on the wall, a swatch board that never quite matches the bottle, laser settings that live in one person's head. The work is precise and the tooling around it is not. We spent a year mixing, coating and engraving before it became obvious that the fix was something we already knew how to make.
So these tools are built the way we would want them on our own bench: fast on a phone with gloves on, honest about the data they use, and free wherever the job is simply getting the numbers right. The Pro tier exists for shops that need a record, and it will pay for the free ones to stay free.
If something here saves you a bad mix or a wasted part, it did its job. Tell us what to build next.
