Schuyler (Skylar) Ricketts works on every car himself, in a studio built for paint: hexagon lighting, digital paint gauges and infrared curing.
Fiesta weekend and farm roads
The Apricot Fiesta takes over downtown Patterson the first weekend of June, as the hot season starts. Around town, orchard roads and I-5 traffic coat cars in dust and road film. That grime is abrasive. Washed off carelessly, it leaves swirls that show in the June sun, and correction is how they come out.
Choosing correction and coating
If the paint is in fair shape, a coating package alone, with its built-in machine polish, may be enough. If it is heavily swirled, Skylab starts with a Single-Step ($700) or Two-Step ($1,450) correction. Then comes a GYEON Infinite coating from $1,000, or Revolution graphene for $1,800, cured under infrared lamps.

Questions
How do Patterson drivers get to Skylab's studio?
Take Highway 33 north to Highway 132, then east into Modesto. Drivers coming off I-5 can also pick up Highway 132 east. The studio is at 1503 Lone Palm Ave, Modesto. Call (209) 871-7060 to set a time.
Can Skylab fix dull, faded paint on a Patterson car?
Usually. Dull paint is often oxidation or fine scratches in the clear coat, and machine polishing restores much of the color and gloss. If the clear coat is peeling, the panel needs paint. Skylar checks before any work.
What warranty comes with a ceramic coating for Patterson owners?
GYEON Infinite carries a five-year warranty from the install date. With Skylab's $400 yearly maintenance top coat, the warranty is extended for life. You get paperwork listing what was installed and a care guide.
