Training, technical support, and customer service all hold high priority with our team at Prismatic Powders.What is Powder Coating? Powder coating is a process where a dry plastic powder is applied electro-statically to a substrate before being oven cured. Substrates can range from ferrous and non-ferrous metals to glass and tile. Powder products are environmentally safe, reclaimable, and very uniform in appearance.

Micro Dyne Cerakote™ products represent the latest technology in ceramic coatings today. These materials are vastly different in performance when compared to typical high temperature silicon coatings. The unique backbone structure of Cerakote creates a dramatic increase in performance properties over other conventional ceramic coatings.

Cerakote maintains excellent bond strength even after exposure to extreme high temperatures. Other performance properties include high chemical and corrosion resistance, unmatched hardness, and outstanding UV resistance. Uses include clear protection, performance motor sports, industrial coating applications, firearms coatings, gas turbine engine coatings, and decorative performance coatings.
Cerakote products are for professional use only. Please request Cerakote products from your local applicator, or call to find a Cerakote applicator in your area.

"We have found NIC Industries clear coats to be an easy-to-use clear coat over the LuminOre product line. One of its best features is the ability to seal in the LuminOre without the detection of a clear coat being present on the surface of LuminOre. Many clear coats that we have tried, have a very thick film, which gives the appearance of a plastic look over the metal. NIC clear coats have the ability to eliminate this."
Thomas J Valente, PresidentLuminOre, Incorp.


"I wanted to take the time to let you know how satisfied I am with the Micro-Clear that I have used on customer parts, as well as my own. I used it on my aluminum wheels for my own personal vehicle. They went through one of our harsh Michigan winters, and still came out looking like brand new. Thank you for the quality product your company has provided me with."
Mike Wilson, OwnerJ & M Powder Coating


"I wanted to let you know how satisfied our customer is with the coating that we applied to his 60-foot sport fishing boat. The engines are two Detroit 16 V 92, we coated the valves, pistons, combustion area and the exhaust ports with the V 136 piston coat. The captain has reported that the engines are running stronger with lower fuel burn.
After a trip to South America the captain was very pleased with the lack of soot on the transom. In addition he noticed a 7-knot increase at full throttle.
The mechanic also believes that the coatings have improved the reliability as well as the efficiency and performance of the engines. We are now coating another set of heads for the mechanic.
Thanks again for the quality products and support you and NIC has provided us."
Keith O. MooreMoore Performance


"I would like to take the time to tell you how impressed I am with the Micro-Clear that I have on my aluminum wheels, gas tank and toolbox that I have on my log truck. The product has been on my log truck for several weeks and has been abused to the fullest, and my truck looks great. I wash my truck every other day with two-stage soap that has acid in it. My aluminum on my truck has not oxidized, peeled, chipped, or scratched. I would like to mention that the area that I am hauling is being sprayed with Chloric Acid and has eaten everything on my truck except what was sprayed with Micro-Clear."
John SappJohn Sapp Trucking


"Thank you for your interest in the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) New Product Evaluation Program. The committee has completed the review of the application and associated literature for Micro-Clear. The committee’s recommendation is as follows:This product has been “Approved with Limitations”. This product may only be used for silk-screened traffic control signs. "
State Materials EngineerWashington State Department of Transportation


"HD Rifles has used many coatings on the market, and out of all of those tried we have found that the ceramic coatings from NIC “Cerakote” and others to have proven by far the most superior on the market. WE in our shop have the ability to scrutinize every product tested in our shop with over 490 years of Special Operations Law Enforcement and Military experience. In short we are not easily impressed. However, NIC’s coatings and commitment to putting out a superior product have led us to the conclusion that in a world with environments so hostile that you only get on e shot. We as a whole feel that to offer anything less than the NIC coatings on all of our metal surfaces would be doing all of our customers who place their lives on the line everyday a great injustice."
Audie Murphy Hill, General ManagerHD Rifles Inc.


"I am really impressed with the ceramic header coatings. I use the V-Series with the Insulkote as a base coat. The material has great hiding power, is easy to spray, looks and performs great.
We coated a set of headers in satin silver for a motor builder’s dyo a few months ago. He builds race engines for WASOTA class cares. He doesn’t use it every day but does several times a week. When he fires up the engines (600-800 HP turning 7000-8000+ RPM) the headers turn cherry red, after they cool the sliver color is as good as new. I was impressed but you should see the advertising we are getting from him.
We coated a set of snowmobiles headers for a modified grass drag sled. After the season they came in to let us know how they did. At the nationals the class champion asked my customer to hand him a rope and tow him to the finish line. They dyno’d the motor before and after coating the headers and gained 10% more HP on an already built to the max motor. CHEAP HORSE POWER.
Thanks for the great products."
Ray Bahmer, PresidentPowder Coating Solutions
"At Falcon Gun Finishing refinishing firearms is solely what we do, therefore we use and have tried many different coatings. We have found the NIC Industries Cerakote to be most durable and abrasive resistant and highly recommend it to our customers that require or want utmost in protection and durability"
Jeff SternadFalcon Gun Finishing

"Just wanted to thank everyone at NIC for the great coating system. Between the H and C series coatings we have the total flexibility to coat anything anywhere. The coatings are easy to use and the most durable of any spray system we have found. We have used different coatings in the past and today CeraKote is all we offer and use. As you know all we coat are weapons and related items, primarily for L.E. and Military. We are coating for the U.S.A.M.U. so you can be sure your coatings allow the weapons to run with no oil no change in P.O.I. and no issues with operational integrity. In the present environment all of the above mentioned can and are literally a matter of life and death for the operator. Your system has also given us the ability to put our new Fit 4 Duty Mobile Coating facility on line. Coating on location will solve many problems for the military. We look forward to working with you, and finding new applications for the system."
Doug BurcheFit 4 Duty, Inc.

"I want to thank you for providing me with the opportunity to use NIC Industries products. The Chromex ceramic coating worked excellent for us. As soon as we started to apply it, I could immediately tell it was a superior product to what we were using. Even without a vibratory polisher, it was extremely easy to polish and the final finish looked great. We are a small company, we are growing by the day, and I look forward to offering our customer's your wide range of products. I greatly appreciate you sending me the samples, it will help with our decision on expanding our services. NIC is a top notch operation, and your professionalism is of great value to us. Once again, thank you, and I look forward to working with you in the near future."Lee Goldenstein, President Pristine Powder Coating

"It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the 'Outrageous Air Racing Team' along with the 'Butch Milani Skunk Werks' and engine components coated by your awesome company allowed me to qualify at 250+mph (2nd fastest qualifier Reno 2004) and finish in 2nd place of the "Gold' category of Formula One Air racing, September 2004... The world's fastest four cylinder motor sport!
Thank you so very much for your belief in me and sponsorship in our engine coatings. Without question, your #1 quality high performance engine coatings were a major factor in my engine performance and overall placing. Thermo Dyne Rocks!"Scott"y Crandlemire Pilot/Owner “Outrageous.”

"I want to thank Brandon Grady for introducing me to your Ceramic coatings of all kinds. With his help I have learned a great deal not only about your product but also how to apply it. This last Custom Commander I did for The Cheytac Company came out beautiful using NIC Cerakote Titanium finish on the frame. The pistol was displayed at the last Shot Show for many people to admire and all inquiries were handled by Anthony Taylor, who is the Vice President of Operations for Cheytac. I have been air brushing all types of finishes on frames and barrels for many years and even though I am now semi retired I am still the most experienced trigger man in North America, as that is all I do. These products made by NIC Industries are truly second to none and with people like Brandon Grady always there to help you there is no reason to use any other product. I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Brandon and NIC Industries. Should any of you ever want to contact me, please feel free to do so most any day. I have only used quality products through out my life, cost was never a deciding factor in the fact I always wanted the best product money can buy. Teddy Jacobson Pistolsmith



"Just a note to say WOOOW!!! When my engine builder, Bush Machine & Marine, suggested we have our pistons Ceramic coated and the skirts treated, I thought it was a lot of money for something you couldn’t see. But I’ll never build another motor without doing the coating. I believe that the coating allowed us to run more timing and higher boost, making more horsepower and making it possible for us to set a speed record of 141.9 mph for an Eliminator Daytona 26’ Cat @ Parker Arizona on the 24th of April 2004. We are currently building a new motor with more boost “20 to 30 lbs” and will be making an attempt at 150 mph in April 2005.Thanks NIC for all the work and fantastic product."Curtis W.

A Chill Has Crept over US-Pakistani Relations

DEBKAfile’s Special Pakistan Correspondent

March 5, 2006, 2:31 PM (GMT+02:00)

Every effort was made to end President George W. Bush’s visit to Pakistan on a high note Saturday, March 4, despite the massive security blanket marring the event. Bush and his host, president Pervez Musharraf, were lavish in their praise of the strong strategic cooperation between them in the war on terror.

But DEBKAfile’s Pakistan correspondent reports the relationship has entered choppy waters. The two leaders were at odds on the two main themes of their talks: the spillover of Islamic terrorism across Pakistani borders and nuclear issues. On the global war on terror, the Bush administration is reviewing Musharraf’s centrality, while nuclear proliferation is more of a sore point than ever.

Pakistan is under heavy US pressure to cut its links with terrorist elements operating across the border in India and Afghanistan. Musharraf insists he is sincerely doing everything possible to uproot al Qaeda from the troubled Pakistan-Afghan tribal belt and halting cross-border infiltration into Indian-administered Kashmir.

Neither Kabul nor New Delhi believes him.

The Kabul government has accused Islamabad of turning a blind eye from time to time to the infiltration from Pakistan's tribal areas into Afghanistan. After a recent visit to Islamabad, Afghan president Karzai handed the Pakistanis a list of 50 Taliban fugitives operating freely in the tribal belt with a request for their arrest.

On the day of Bush’s surprise visit to Kabul last week, Pakistani security forces launched an intense military operation in the South Waziristan region of the Pak-Afghan tribal belt and reportedly killed 35 to 40 al-Qaeda related terrorists, many of them foreigners. Another such action, allegedly killing another 50 terrorists, was announced Saturday, the day of the US president’s talks in Islamabad.

Even after three years of such military action, al Qaeda, Taliban and their supporters are still very much present and even regrouping. Pakistani military authorities claim they have eliminated most of the 500-600 foreign militants found in South Waziristan in early 2004.
While Islamabad strongly denies reports of Taliban and al-Qaeda infiltration into Afghanistan from the Pakistani side, the Karzai government insists that the infiltration was actually being orchestrated from the Pakistani border.

Pakistani military authorities claim that there were 500-600 foreign militants in the South Waziristan area when army operations first started in early 2004. Most were killed or captured. Yet the border strip continues to be a launching base for nocturnal cross-border forays against US-led coalition forces in Afghanistan. Since early 2005, Pakistan forces have also killed and arrested hundreds of foreign jihadists and their local facilitators in North Waziristan too.

American intelligence operatives stationed in Pakistan believe that Osama bin Laden and some of the top al-Qaeda figures are hiding somewhere in the mountain recesses of the region. For US-led coalition troops operating across the border in Afghanistan, effective Pakistani military operation in Waziristan holds the key to their mission and to saving lives in the battle against the al-Qaeda and Taliban.
But patience is running out in Washington, Kabul and New Delhi.

Therefore, the
Bush visit to Islamabad was seen as a defining moment in the US-Pakistani anti-terror partnership and, by the same token, for General Musharraf’s own political future.

His iron hand, highly regarded by the Bush administration till now, is beginning to look counter-productive. The Taliban remnants are nowhere near being defeated in Afghanistan; Osama bin Laden and his top aides continue to defy capture, the Kashmir issue is an open wound.
Some informed diplomatic sources in Islamabad fear that the Bush administration is coming round to the conviction that a weaker Pakistani army is as necessary now as a powerful one was when the US needed its support to invade Afghanistan after September 11, 2001.

The army is Musharraf’s mainstay and so he finds himself in a cleft stick.
His generals refuse to withdraw their backing from the Islamic insurgency in Indian-controlled Kashmir. The Pakistani president, who derives his main legitimacy from the army, cannot force them to do so without exposing himself to condemnation as Washington’s stooge and of selling out Pakistan’s national interests to please the Americans.
He had hoped the army would become more amenable if Bush had offered Pakistan a nuclear contract on the same lines as the one he signed with New Delhi for Indian access to American nuclear technology without signing the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

He therefore pressed the US president for a similar deal in the interests of parity and of preserving Pakistan’s deterrent strength.
However, this demand raised another contentious issue between Washington and Islamabad: Pakistan’s murky record on proliferation.
The Bush administration wants more effective Pakistani implementation of nuclear safeguards and export controls. But, above all, the Americans are frustrated at being denied access to the nuclear black marketer, Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, particularly in the context of the current nuclear standoff with Iran. They need to find out what role he played in the Iranian program.

In these circumstances, Musharraf’s Pakistan is fast losing ground in the contest with India for a profitable strategic relationship with the United States. The Bush visit accentuated the widening cracks in the five-year old partnership. It appears that Washington is no longer buying the general’s posture as the only secular leader capable of dealing with the” mullahs and the jihadis” plaguing Pakistan.

Superpower Under Siege
By Joel Hilliker
March 2006

It is difficult to imagine the United States becoming a second- or third-rate power. Of course, the same was true of the formerly great Britain just a century ago.From a resources standpoint, the British Empire was enormously wealthy. With far-flung colonies encircling the globe, and possessing the mightiest navy in history, it controlled the world’s most strategic sea gates, thereby securing the world’s trade.

Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Hawaii, the Falkland Islands, many Caribbean islands and much of Africa—including South Africa, Rhodesia, Kenya, Egypt and Sudan—all hoisted the Union Jack. Under the colonial relationship, the British colonies (later to be known as the British Commonwealth) had a guaranteed market for selling their raw resources:

Mother Britain. Conversely, British manufacturing was guaranteed an exclusive market for its goods: all of the British colonies. On the back of this system, Britain and its colonies became among the richest nations on Earth.The picture dramatically changed with World Wars i and ii, which bled Britain of its finest men and the lion’s share of its treasure. Though resources flowing from the colonies helped sustain Britain through both wars, by the end of World War ii Britain was bankrupt.

It could no longer sustain the operating costs associated with empire, particularly that of maintaining a military capable of protecting resource-supplying countries.The resource demand void left by Britain was soon filled by the rising industrial power of the United States (and the developing markets of East Asia). The U.S. dominated the Western Hemisphere for the latter half of the 20th century, and when the Cold War ended, it became the world’s lone superpower.

Its economy and military might stood unrivaled.But superpower status is incredibly expensive. And just as the costly tragedies of world war hobbled the British Empire’s ship of state, so are the rising costs of sitting atop this dangerous and catastrophe-prone world taking their toll on America.Troubling TrendsThe American economy is now unsustainably bloated with debt.

Where the U.S. once outproduced all other nations with its resource-fueled, self-sufficient economy, it is now the world’s largest debtor nation by far—a net importer of goods from food to consumables, even the high-tech goods whose production it pioneered. Saddled on one side with wartime expenses from operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and on the other by pricey natural disasters and a jittery job market at home, America couldn’t be facing a supply crunch and price hike on vital resources at a worse time.

Thus far, the U.S. has gotten away with carrying such a large deficit, partly because it owns the world’s reserve currency and nations have been eager to hold dollars in their vaults. But this privileged position is slipping away as confidence in the dollar falls and its status as a reserve currency is challenged by a younger, and increasingly attractive, rival—the euro.

Over the last several years, central banks around the world have let go their dollar reserves while increasing their euro holdings.We are witnessing the beginning of a devastating trend: foreign capital flight.As the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency shifts, so too will strategic power in global markets. The U.S. will simply no longer enjoy the many advantages of owning the world’s reserve currency.

It happened to Great Britain after World War ii. It will happen to the U.S.But the forces eroding American dominance are more malevolent than just the capricious winds of currency valuation. From South America to Europe to Asia, many nations are calculating how best to cripple the world’s largest consumer of resources and to assume control over its suppliers.

The U.S.’s shaky economic position and absorbing commitment to the war on terror is providing these nations a unique opportunity.For example, China saw Washington’s post-9/11 disengagement from Latin America and the Caribbean, and the ensuing explosion in anti-Americanism in those regions, as an opportunity to pounce. It has moved in on America’s oil supply in Venezuela and taken control of vital sea gates through which resources must travel into the U.S.—the Panama Canal and Freeport, Bahamas.

The greatest concentration of U.S. oil refineries, terminals and storage facilities, including the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve, is in the Gulf of Mexico region, which means that much of the oil must pass through the Caribbean—a route now significantly controlled by China. In addition, China is establishing a huge deep-water port in Gwadar, Pakistan, at the entrance to the Persian Gulf.These troubling moves must be viewed in combination with those of two other powers that pose an increasing danger to U.S. trade traffic:

the Islamic powers and the European Union. Islamic governments presently control access to Persian Gulf oil resources through the gulfs of Oman and Aden and the Suez Canal, with China operating many of their major port facilities. Turkey, another Islamic state, stands at the crossroads of the Dardanelles, pathway of oil from Eurasia. The southern gateways of Jakarta and the Straits of Malacca, through which shipments from Pacific and Asian oil fields must be transported, are bordered by Islamic nations.

The European Union controls the crucial northern gates of the Mediterranean and the North Sea, through which oil from Russia, the Caucasus and Eurasia passes.Lack of control over these strategic gateways puts the U.S. in a very vulnerable position—one that is sure to be exploited in the coming resource war!Can we recognize the possibility of foreign powers, when the moment is right, simply blockading these supply lines—shutting the gate on trade with the “mighty” U.S.?

That is exactly what your Bible prophesies will happen to America, unless it repents of its ungodliness.Read it for yourself: “They shall besiege you at all your gates until your high and fortified walls, in which you trust, come down throughout all your land; and they shall besiege you at all your gates throughout all your land which the Lord your God has given you” (Deuteronomy 28:52; New King James Version). Believe it or not, that prophecy relates directly to the Anglo-American peoples.Trends show that America’s days as the world’s singular superpower are numbered.

Bible prophecy describes for us how it will occur.As the United States is declining—like Britain in the 20th century—other powers are rising quickly, and their thirst for resources, primarily energy, is also growing rapidly. This need puts these countries in direct competition with the U.S.—and with each other.With reporting by Robert Morley
