See your custom finish before you commit.
PewPreview is AI-powered visualization software. Upload a photo of your hardware, pick a color and protective ceramic finish, and get a photorealistic preview in seconds — software access only, no physical product is sold or shipped.
Run a coating shop? The shop plan is first. · Previewing your own gun? The preview plans follow.
Book more jobs
- Quotes with your own terms, accepted online or at the counter; take a gun in before it has a price; paste a customer's email or text and it drafts the quote
- Track the job prep → coat → cure with a printed tag and photos; customers get a live status link and a ready-for-pickup email
- Invoices printed or emailed, marked paid when the money comes in; books for your accountant (QuickBooks, Xero or a ZIP). PewPreview never touches the money
- Customers type their own details from a QR code at the counter; takedown guides for 200 firearms inside every job; a spray list by colour; station timers
- Your price sheet fills every quote, with what shops across the country charge beside it
- Customers preview Cerakote colors on a photo of their own gun — right on your site — and every preview hands you a lead with the exact build they want
- Ask for the Google review while the job's still warm; a free listing in Find a Shop; staff logins with roles
- Pew-Stencil is in: your stencil files from a picture, a camo kit for 5 credits. Early access to every new tool as it opens — Pew-Laser and a planned free 3D builder are next

How credits work
One credit produces one preview. You have two kinds, and you can see both in your account at any time:
- Roll-over credits come with a PewPreview+ membership. You get 10 a month, unused ones stack up to 30 while you're a member, and they're spent first. They end when the membership does.
- Purchased credits — bought outright or earned through referrals — never expire and stay yours even if you cancel a membership.
You're only charged for previews that actually work. If a render fails, comes back blank, or gets blocked, the credit goes straight back to your balance. Tweaking and comparing a preview you've already generated is free — you only spend a credit when a new preview is generated.
What an AI preview can and can't do
A PewPreview render is an AI-generated visualization, not a photograph of a finished job. It's built to help you decide — to see how a color reads on your actual hardware, compare options side by side, and show a shop exactly what you have in mind.
AI makes mistakes. Expect small differences from the real thing:
- Color can shift slightly from the true Cerakote swatch, especially across different lighting.
- Small details get missed or simplified — screws, pins, engravings, edges and tiny parts.
- Patterns vary between renders. Camo blob layout is generated fresh each time and won't match a real stencil exactly.
- Occasionally a part is skipped or color lands somewhere you didn't pick.
If a preview comes out wrong, generate another — and if it failed outright, you weren't charged for it. Treat the render as a starting point for the conversation with your coater, not a quote, a colour-match guarantee, or a promise of the finished result. Always confirm the final colors and coverage with the shop doing the work.
