Schuyler (Skylar) Ricketts works on every car himself, in a studio built for paint: hexagon lighting, digital paint gauges and infrared curing.
Heat on the west side
Newman's climate is semi-arid, with hot, dry summers, about 12 inches of rain a year and a record high of 116. Cars parked outside take the full sun for months. That oxidizes clear coat, fades trim and bakes in anything left on the paint. Correction restores the gloss and a coating helps protect it from the next summer.
Farm work and the Fall Festival
Newman is a largely agricultural community, and work trucks and family cars share the same dusty roads. Before the Fall Festival, or any weekend you want the car to look its best, a Single-Step correction, $700, brings back most of the shine in a day. For lasting results, add a coating from $1,000.

Questions
Why does paint fade faster in Newman?
Newman averages about 100 degrees in July and gets little summer rain, so cars parked outside sit in strong sun for months. UV breaks down clear coat and trim over time. A ceramic coating slows that, and correction can bring back paint that has started to dull.
What route do Newman drivers take to Skylab?
Head north on Highway 33 to Crows Landing, then take Crows Landing Road north into Modesto. The studio is at 1503 Lone Palm Ave. Call (209) 871-7060 to book your inspection and quote.
Is a one-day paint correction enough for a Newman truck?
For light swirls and dullness, a Single-Step correction, up to eight hours for $700, is often enough. Heavily marred or dark paint does better with a Two-Step at $1,450. Skylar recommends one after looking at the truck under studio lighting.
