PewPreview
The toolbox // built for finishing shops

One job. Every step.

PewPreview started as a way to see a finish before you commit. It's becoming the set of tools a custom finishing shop actually needs — try a look in 3D for free, preview it on your own gun, price it, cut the stencil, engrave the pattern. Same account, same customer file, same credits.

PewPreview

Live now
See the finish on your own gun before anyone sprays it.

Upload a photo, pick colors and patterns per part, get a photorealistic preview in seconds. On a shop's site it doubles as the front door: every preview arrives as a lead with the exact build the customer wants.

  • Solids, patterns and multi-color builds, part by part
  • Runs on your own site, a QR code on the counter, or here
  • Every design lands on the customer's file, ready to quote
  • Ask for extras in plain words: “put an Aimpoint on it in H-199”. Your colour choices always win
Planned
Coming to PewPreview: a free 3D builder.

Planned, not built yet. It says so here so nobody waits on it.

Spin a generic 3D model of the platform, tap a part, pick a Cerakote color or a camo, and watch it repaint instantly, with no photo and no render cost. Try twenty looks at the counter for nothing. When one is right, render that exact build on your own gun for the usual 1 credit.

Costs 1 credit per preview · the 3D builder will be free

Pew-Price

Live now
What this work actually sells for, right now.

Advertised prices collected from shops across the country, narrowed to the job in front of you. Customers use it to sanity-check a quote. Shops use it to stop guessing — and to stop leaving money on the table.

  • Ranges by platform, part count and color count
  • Says what it relaxed when data is thin, and never invents a number
  • Inside the shop dashboard it prices the design you're looking at

Pew-Stencil

Live now
A photo of the gun and a picture of the camo in. Cut-ready stencil files out.

Feed it a pattern, a logo or a photo of a hydro-dip and it produces the vector files your laser or vinyl cutter can run. It knows it's making a physical stencil, not a picture: it sizes to the actual part, keeps slivers wider than your material can hold, and bridges islands so the middle of an O doesn't fall out.

  • Scales to the real part — pistol slide, AR-15, bolt rifle, or your own measurements
  • Hand-placed positive pieces, one full sheet per color, in the order you spray; placement guides as a PDF at 100%
  • Splits across your cutter bed with registration marks when the pattern is bigger than the field
  • Exports SVG and DXF built for the machine you cut on — Graphtec, Silhouette, Cricut, LightBurn or EZCAD
A picture stencil is 2 credits, a camo kit 5, an AI redraw 1, refunded if it fails · charged once per kit at download, the preview is free

Pew-Laser

In development
A photo of the gun in. Engraving files out.

Photograph the part, mark the area you want engraved and the areas you don't — serials, rollmarks, pins — and pick a style. You get a preview projected onto the real photo so the customer sees exactly where every line lands, then the laser files that cut that same geometry. The preview and the file come from the same vectors, so what they approve is what runs.

  • Scroll, acanthus, Western, floral, oak, Celtic, geometric, filigree, wildlife — or describe your own
  • A printed calibration card solves scale and perspective, so the design is true-size on the part
  • DXF, SVG, LightBurn project, depth map for 2.5D, STL for 3D relief
  • Every job ships with a test-fit file and measurements — run it on tape before you touch metal
Will cost credits per design and per file · exact amounts published before launch

Inside the shop dashboard, live now

Everything a Cerakote shop does in a day, in one place, on the $99 plan. No dates here because none of it is coming: it is in. The whole of it, by name, on one page →

Quotes with your own terms, accepted online or at the counter. A gun can be taken in before it has a price. Paste a customer's email or text and it drafts the quote for you to check.
Jobs tracked prep → coat → cure, with a printed tag, intake photos, a live status link for the customer and a ready-for-pickup email. Mail-in work gets a tracking number instead.
Invoices printed or emailed, with your numbering, due terms and how-to-pay words. You take the money; PewPreview never touches it. Books for your accountant: QuickBooks, Xero or a ZIP.
The counter form. A customer scans a code and types their own name, contact and what they want; it lands on your waiting list. Not the make and model: you write that down.
Takedown, torque and parts for 200 firearms, matched to the gun inside every job and printable for the bench. The reference itself is public: pewpreview.com/takedown.
The bench. A spray list by colour, station timers by QR card so labor time fills itself in, a cure and QC log, a masking list per gun, and how much Cerakote a job will take from what shops actually used.
Your prices. A price sheet of the common jobs; type what you charge and it fills every quote. Beside each box, what shops across the country advertise.
Customers. One file per person with their quotes, jobs and designs; texting when you connect a number; drop-off times they can book; a before-and-after picture and a gallery page; the review ask at pickup.
The shop. Staff logins with roles (manager, front counter, bench), a calendar of every promised date, the week planned against your stations' hours, Cerakote on the shelf with a reorder list, contract and batch work with dollars per hour.

One account. One balance. Pew Credits.

You don't buy four subscriptions. Every tool draws from the same balance, so you pay for what you actually make and nothing else. A month where you only quote costs you nothing extra. A month where you cut twenty stencils, you buy more credits.

Small things are cheap

A preview is one credit. Checking a price, writing a quote, tracking a job and asking for the review cost nothing at all — those come with your plan.

Big things cost more

A production stencil or a laser-ready engraving file takes real work off your bench, so it draws more credits than a preview. Every price is published before the tool goes live.

No surprise bills

Credits are bought up front, never billed after the fact. You'll never open an invoice you didn't expect — you'll get a nudge when you're running low.

Shops: your $99/month plan includes 100 credits, and access to every new tool as it opens — no separate subscription, no upgrade call. See the plans.

Want in early?

Tell us which tool you need most. We'll email you when it opens, and beta seats go to shops on this list first. One email when there's news, nothing else, and you can say stop any time.

Why one toolbox instead of four apps

Because it's one job. The customer's design, the price you quoted, the stencil you cut and the pattern you engraved all belong to the same gun, for the same person, on the same day. When Bob calls in two years wanting his new rifle to match the one you did for him, everything is on his file — the picture he approved, the colors, the stencil, what he paid. You look it up instead of remembering it.
