However, for weapons,
These silver, alchemical powders have a gritty consistency, appearing at first glance to be simple metal shavings. When poured on a weapon and placed over a hot flame for a full round, however, they melt and form a temporary coating on the weapon. The blanching gives the weapon the ability to bypass one kind of material-based damage reduction, such as adamantine, cold iron, or silver. The blanching remains effective until you make a successful attack with the weapon. Each dose of blanching can coat one weapon or up to 10 pieces of ammunition. Only one kind of weapon blanch can be on a weapon at one time, though a weapon made of one special material (such as adamantine) can have a different material blanch (such as silver), and counts as both materials for the first successful hit.
So you can get the effect you want on a one-use-at-a-time basis.
Not in a game i play in, but:
The spikes on a shield or armor can be of multiple materials, but cost as much as ALL included, but suffer a -1 per die in each extra material. Spikes of silvered steel or a similar coating do not count as a material, but can be lost on a CH. Such spikes lose the coating even if repaired.
They have weapon rules that are similar.
Also, for weapons, a +3 enhancement bonus allows a weapon to penetrate DR as if it were cold iron and/or silver. So a +3 adamantine weapon would penetrate all three common material DRs.

Interesting, I did not know that. source?

So a +3 weapon is fully efficient against vampires and werewolves... Thank you very much, I'd completely forgotten about that area of the CRB.
