How Much Does a Ceramic Coating Cost?
Real ceramic coating pricing by warranty tier, plus what drives the final price — vehicle size, paint condition, and how much correction is needed before coating.
Ceramic coating pricing depends on the tier you choose and your vehicle's condition, but here's a straight answer: our exterior coatings start at $397 for a 1-Year coating, $597 for a 3-Year, $999 for a 6-Year, and $1,500 for a Lifetime coating. Final pricing depends on your vehicle's size and the condition of the paint — heavily swirled finishes need more correction before coating.
Let's break down what those tiers include and what moves the price up or down.
Ceramic coating prices by tier
All of our exterior coatings include full paint decontamination and a mirror-like, hydrophobic finish. The difference between tiers is durability and warranty length:
- 1-Year coating — starting at $397
- 3-Year coating — starting at $597
- 6-Year coating — starting at $999
- Lifetime coating — starting at $1,500
The entry tiers are an affordable way to add real gloss and protection; the longer tiers use more durable formulations for drivers who want long-term, set-and-forget protection.
What affects the final price?
Three things move the number within a tier:
- The coating tier you choose — longer warranties cost more
- Your vehicle's size — larger vehicles take more product and labor
- The condition of the paint — heavily swirled or neglected finishes need more paint correction before coating
Because paint condition varies so much, we confirm the full price with you after inspecting the vehicle, so there are no surprises.
What about interior, wheels, and glass?
We coat more than just exterior paint. These can be added to any package or booked on their own:
- Interior ceramic coating — starting at $199
- Wheel ceramic coating — starting at $249
- Glass ceramic coating — starting at $179
Is it worth the cost?
A coating costs more upfront than a wax, but it lasts years instead of weeks and cuts down on ongoing maintenance — so for most drivers it pays off over the life of the car. We walk through that math in is a ceramic coating worth it. To see how the tiers differ in detail, read our packages guide.
Frequently asked questions
Why isn't there one flat price for a ceramic coating?
Because the work varies. A small, well-kept car needs less correction than a large, heavily swirled one, and the coating tier you choose changes the price. We confirm the final number after inspecting your vehicle.
Does a longer warranty cost more?
Yes. Longer-lasting coatings use more durable formulations, so the 6-Year and Lifetime tiers cost more than the 1-Year and 3-Year options. You're paying for more years of protection and a tougher coating.
Can I add interior or wheel coatings to a package?
Yes. Interior, wheel, and glass ceramic coatings can be added to any exterior package or booked on their own, so you can build the protection level that fits your car and budget.
