Schuyler (Skylar) Ricketts works on every car himself, in a studio built for paint: hexagon lighting, digital paint gauges and infrared curing.
What does ceramic coating do?
A ceramic coating bonds to the clear coat and leaves a slick, glossy surface. Water beads and sheets off, so dirt, bird droppings and bugs release with a normal wash. It adds a protective layer between your paint and the weather. In Modesto, where July afternoons average about 95 degrees, that layer takes the sun and grime first. It does not make paint chip proof. That is what PPF is for.
Ceramic coating packages and prices
Basic is GYEON Infinite base, takes 1 to 2 days and starts at $1,000. Exclusive adds the GYEON top coat, takes 2 to 3 days and starts at $1,500. Revolution Self-Healing is an Artdeshine nano graphene coating rated for 7+ years. It takes 2 to 4 days and starts at $1,800. Paint correction, if your car needs it, is quoted separately after the inspection.
GYEON Infinite carries a 5-year warranty from the install date. Bring the car back once a year for the $400 maintenance top coat and the warranty extends for life. You leave with paperwork showing what was installed, your warranty terms and a care guide, so you know exactly what is on the car and how to look after it.

How Skylar installs a coating
Every job starts with an inspection under studio lighting and a digital paint thickness gauge reading. Then the car is washed, chemically decontaminated, clayed and machine corrected as needed. The coating goes on panel by panel and is cured with infrared lamps. Skylar does a final inspection before handing over the keys. Plastics, trim, wheels, calipers, glass and the grille can be coated too, with an airbrush reaching gaps on full-exterior work.
Questions
How much does ceramic coating cost in Modesto?
At Skylab, ceramic coating starts at $1,000 for GYEON Infinite base, $1,500 for base plus top coat and $1,800 for the Revolution nano graphene coating. Paint correction is extra when the paint needs it. Call (209) 871-7060 for a free quote on your car.
How long does ceramic coating last?
GYEON Infinite comes with a 5-year warranty, and it extends for life when you keep up the $400 yearly top coat service. The Revolution nano graphene coating is rated for 7 years or more with proper care. How the car is washed makes a big difference.
Do I need paint correction before ceramic coating?
A coating locks in whatever is under it, swirls included, so the paint should look the way you want first. Some cars only need a single-step polish. Others need two-step or multi-step correction. Skylar checks the paint under studio lighting and tells you what it needs.
Is ceramic coating worth it?
If you want the car to stay glossy and wash easier for years, yes. Water and dirt slide off, and the paint keeps its shine instead of slowly dulling. It will not stop rock chips. For that, pair it with STEK paint protection film on the front.
