Ceramic Coating in Salinas, CA

Ceramic paint coating starts at $449 for a 1-year coating, $895 for 3 years and $1,195 for 5 years. We also coat wheels from $349, glass from $179, leather from $139 and fabric from $55. Your price depends on the size and condition of the vehicle, so a full-size truck will cost more than a small car.

Yes. We can coat your vehicle at your home or work anywhere in Salinas, or you can bring it to 1226 Dickens Dr. Paint coating takes 1-2 days and needs dry conditions, so we'll check the forecast and the spot with you when you book.

No coating stops dust from landing. It does make the paint slicker, so field dust and film release more easily in a wash. That's the main benefit in Salinas: less scrubbing, and fewer chances to scratch the paint while you clean it.

No. A coating protects what's there, and it can't rebuild clear coat that has already failed. Faded paint can often be improved with paint correction before coating, as with the Tundra above, if we catch it early. Clear coat that has peeled away needs a body shop. Send us a photo and we'll tell you which one you're looking at.

Our ceramic paint coating includes light paint enhancement. If your paint has heavier swirls, scratches or sun damage, we recommend paint correction first, because a coating locks in whatever is underneath it.

Our paint coatings are rated for 1, 3 or 5 years, depending on the package. How long yours lasts depends on how the vehicle is driven, stored and washed. A truck that works the fields and rarely gets washed will wear its coating sooner.

Keep it dry for the first 24 hours. After that, wash it regularly with a ceramic-safe product, and never dry-wipe the dust off. We also recommend an annual maintenance wash. If you'd rather hand it off, our Signature Care membership includes coating-safe care and a ceramic topper every quarter.
