Schuyler (Skylar) Ricketts works on every car himself, in a studio built for paint: hexagon lighting, digital paint gauges and infrared curing.
Why the front end needs film
Corvettes sit low, and the front bumper, hood and fenders take the brunt of road debris. Rock chips there are hard to touch up cleanly. STEK paint protection film puts a clear layer over those panels, so chips land in the film instead of the paint. Skylar quotes coverage from a partial front to the full car.
Correction and coating
Before film or coating, Skylar checks the paint under custom studio lighting. Swirls and haze are polished out first. Then a GYEON Infinite coating, from $1,000, or Revolution nano graphene, from $1,800, goes on panel by panel and is cured with infrared lamps. Wheels, brake calipers and glass can be coated too.

From classic to current
Corvettes have used fiberglass and composite body panels for decades, and every generation gets the same approach: inspect first, correct only what is needed, then protect. Whether it is a classic that comes out for weekends or a current car you drive every day, the plan is built around the car and how you use it.
Questions
How much does Corvette PPF cost?
It depends on coverage: a partial front, a full front or the whole car. Skylab quotes STEK PPF for free after seeing the car. Call (209) 871-7060 with the year and the coverage you are thinking about.
Should I ceramic coat my Corvette?
If you want deep gloss and easy washing, yes. The coating makes water bead and dirt release from paint, wheels and glass. Pair it with film on the front if rock chips are a concern. GYEON packages start at $1,000.
Can paint correction be done on a fiberglass Corvette?
Yes. Correction works on the paint and clear coat, not the panel underneath. Skylar inspects the finish under studio lighting and adjusts his approach to the car's paint, age and condition before he starts polishing.
How long does a Corvette coating take?
A GYEON Infinite base coating takes 1 to 2 days, base plus top coat 2 to 3 days, and nano graphene 2 to 4 days. Correction adds time if the paint needs it. You get a clear timeline with your free quote.
