Schuyler (Skylar) Ricketts works on every car himself, in a studio built for paint: hexagon lighting, digital paint gauges and infrared curing.
Car show season at the fairgrounds
The Goodguys All American Get-Together brings customs, classic trucks and muscle cars to the Pleasanton fairgrounds. If your car is headed to a show, the paint will be seen up close in bright light. Skylab's correction work and Signature show-car packages, Gold from $3,000 and Platinum from $6,000, are built for that kind of scrutiny.
Very hard water
Pleasanton's 2022 water quality report put hardness between 100 and 450 mg/L, depending on the source, and noted that on hot summer days more than half the city's water could be groundwater, the hard end of that range. Water that hard leaves stubborn spots. Etched spots polish out, and a ceramic coating keeps new ones from bonding.

From the Tri-Valley to Modesto
Head east on I-580 over the Altamont Pass, then take Highway 132 east into Modesto. The studio is at 1503 Lone Palm Ave. Coatings start at $1,000 and correction at $700. Skylar can do both in one visit, so the car makes one trip. Ask about mobile service when you call.
Questions
Can Skylab prep my car for the Goodguys show in Pleasanton?
Yes. Skylab does show-car and concours prep, from Two-Step or Multi-Step correction up to the Signature Gold and Platinum packages. Plan ahead: Gold takes about two weeks and Platinum about four. Call (209) 871-7060 for a free quote.
Why does Pleasanton water leave spots on my car?
Pleasanton water can be very hard, up to 450 mg/L in the city's 2022 report, especially when more groundwater is in the supply. The minerals stay behind when water dries. Dry the car promptly and consider a ceramic coating, which helps water sheet off.
What coating packages does Skylab offer Pleasanton owners?
Three: Ceramic Basic, one layer of GYEON Infinite, for $1,000; Exclusive, base plus top coat, for $1,500; and Revolution, an Artdeshine nano graphene coating rated for seven years and more, for $1,800. GYEON Infinite carries a five-year warranty.
