How Long Does it Take to Ceramic Coat a Car?

You might be surprised to learn just how labor-intensive the ceramic coating process can be. That’s because ceramic coating must be applied by hand by highly-skilled experts. But even before the coating process begins, your car will go through an intensive process of preparation that includes:

  • Prewash
  • Hand wash
  • Paint correction
  • Panel wipe
  • Polish 

While washing and polishing are important, the paint correction process that takes the most time by far. Ceramic coating must be applied to a smooth and flawless surface – which is why it’s most commonly performed on factory-fresh vehicles. Cars with rougher paint will need a lot of help, which translates to higher bills. For most vehicles, expect around 20 to 30 hours for a good ceramic coating treatment.

How Much Does it Cost to Ceramic Coat a Car?

Estimating how much to ceramic coat a car can be tricky. While some cars may only cost $500, other may cost well over $3,000. That’s because a number of different factors can skew your bill tremendously. For example, an old truck with lots of wear and tear will need much more paint correction than a brand new compact sedan. When trying to determine how much to ceramic coat your car, factor in the following:

  • Age: Brand-new cars need minimal paint correction, while older cars have seen a lot more damage on the Atmore road.
  • Vehicle: Smaller cars take less time to paint than a larger car. That means a full-size SUV will take more work than a small hatchback.
  • Paint: Lighter paint colors hide flaws more easily, while darker paint colors highlight every scratch and chip. A darker paint color will take more paint correction than a lighter paint color on average.
