Ceramic Coating Shops

Gen5er · 01-27-2017, 06:25 AM

This is probably a

thread but I need help. I'm looking for a good shop in the Northern Va area that does ceramic coating. I'm 40 minutes outside of Fredericksburg and LaPlata so I'm flexible in that respect. Really want to protect Mack the M1SS1LE. Help a brother out.

I have heard these guys are really good, they do OptiCoat Pro, planning on taking mine there this spring:

My Opticoat Pro+ was put on by Samuda Mobile Detailing (Frederick, MD). Marcus did an excellent job.

Unfortunately, since some a$$hat ran into my car, he will be redoing it in the spring.

How much did it cost for the coating?

Planning on getting my car opticoated at Automotive Quality Solutions in the next few weeks.

I used Sandblast America in Manassas. They did my header and Y pipe for my jeep. My buddy also had his entire exhaust done for a custom buggy we built.

I hope that's not the ceramic coating the OP wants to protect the M1SS1LE.

Ha, yes it is. I see now that I misunderstood what he was talking about.
My mind went to exhaust ceramic coating!

Whoa, no that's not what I wanted. It would make for a real durable paint job, I guess. I was talking paint protection. Thanks for the research, though, your efforts are appreciated. Have fun and keep it on the road.

Literally just got a seat of kooks long tubes back from CALICO coatings in North Carolina and they do a really really good job! Highly recommend. You will have to ship them your stuff but its easy and they cover the return shipping.

Guys unless you want convenience, ceramic coating can be applied by yourself in half a day for a great job, and the coating itself is cheap. IE i got 2 bottles of Cquarts UK for 67.00 a piece off Amazon!! Just waitng for a good day to prep the car (wash and clay wash and POLISH, then apply 2 ceramic coats. Going to do the wheels as well.

How difficult is it to apply? Im pretty good in detailing (ex. claybaring, polishing with buffer and applying wax/sealent). Never touched ceramic coating before and I don't want to mess up the paint on a brand new car, is it foolproof?
