Ceramic Coating Pricing in Forney & Rockwall
White Diamond Armor โ Our long-term ceramic coating service designed for maximum protection and gloss.
Ceramic coating pricing depends on vehicle size, paint condition, and the level of preparation required. Because ceramic coatings are a long-term protective investment, proper surface preparation and application are essential to achieving durable results.
The pricing below reflects typical starting investment ranges for a professional ceramic coating installation.
Why Ceramic Coating Is an Investment
Ceramic coating pricing reflects the time, preparation, and expertise required to install the coating properly. The coating itself is only part of the service. The majority of the work happens before the coating is ever applied.
Step 1: Ceramic Coating Preparation
Before applying a ceramic coating, the paint must be completely cleaned and stripped of contamination. This goes far beyond a basic wash.
Preparation includes:
Thorough exterior wash
Chemical decontamination (iron removal)
Clay bar treatment
Surface inspection and prep
This ensures the paint is clean, smooth, and ready for correction and coating.
Step 2: Paint Correction & Surface Refinement
Because ceramic coatings permanently lock in the condition of the paint, any defects left behind will remain visible once the coating is applied.
For this reason, most ceramic coating installations include at least some level of paint refinement.
Paint Enhancement
A light polishing process designed to:
Improve gloss and clarity
Reduce light swirl marks
Create an ideal surface for ceramic coating
This is the most common level chosen by ceramic coating clients.
Paint Correction
A more intensive process for vehicles with:
Heavier swirl marks
Scratches or oxidation
Noticeably dull or neglected paint
This process maximizes clarity and ensures the ceramic coating bonds to the smoothest surface possible.
Is Paint Correction Required for Ceramic Coating?
Sometimes โ and sometimes not.
While ceramic coating can be applied without aggressive correction, even a light paint enhancement significantly improves coating performance, longevity, and appearance.
Weโll walk you through the options and help you decide what makes the most sense for your vehicle and budget.
Step 3: Ceramic Coating Application
Once preparation and correction are complete, the ceramic coating is carefully applied and allowed to cure.
Application typically takes 1โ3 hours, but total installation time can range from 1 to 3 days depending on:
Vehicle size
Paint condition
Level of correction performed
Most of the labor involved in ceramic coating happens during preparation, not application.
