Ceramic Coating

A hard coating bonded to paint I have already corrected, so what gets locked in is a finish worth locking in. Never sold on its own.

from $1,500typically about 16 h, over two days. Quoted from photos.

What's included

  • The correction the paint needs, one or two stage
  • Panel prep and wipe-down before application
  • Coating applied panel by panel in shade or a garage
  • Cure guidance and your first maintenance wash in the book
  • Three to five year coatings depending on the tier we agree on

What it doesn't cover

  • Application above 85°F or in direct sun
  • Cars that will be driven in the 24-hour cure window

What I need on the day

  • A parking spot with room to open all four doors, and the gate code if there is one.
  • A hose spigot within reach saves my tank for the rinse; if there isn’t one, I bring the water.
  • An outdoor outlet if you have one. If not, I run a generator.
  • Shade or a garage. Direct sun ruins machine work, and I won’t do it in the sun.
  • Air temperature between 55 and 85°F, so summer jobs start early or happen in a garage.
  • 24 hours dry and ideally garaged afterwards.
  • Two route days, usually back to back.

Three photos in the shade, your zip, and what bugs you about the paint. I’ll send a price and an hour count the same day.
