Schuyler (Skylar) Ricketts works on every car himself, in a studio built for paint: hexagon lighting, digital paint gauges and infrared curing.
Fixing swirled Mustang paint
Dark Mustangs show every swirl from automatic washes and dry towels. Skylar measures the paint, then picks single-step correction from $700, two-step from $1,450 or multi-step from $3,500, the level he recommends for black. His black Mustang video shows badly damaged paint brought back with correction and a ceramic coating.
Full sand and polish
Some Mustangs need more than polish. If the finish has heavy orange peel or deeper defects in the clear coat, a full sand and polish levels the surface by wet sanding, then polishes it back to gloss. It is careful, measured work, done only where the clear coat allows it. Skylab's full sand and polish Ford Mustang is on YouTube.

Protect it after
Once the paint is right, a ceramic coating helps keep it that way. GYEON Infinite starts at $1,000 with a 5-year warranty, and Revolution nano graphene starts at $1,800. For Mustangs that see highway time, STEK paint protection film on the front adds rock chip protection. Every coating job ends with a care guide.
Questions
How much does Mustang paint correction cost?
At Skylab, single-step correction starts at $700, two-step at $1,450 and multi-step at $3,500. The right level depends on the color and condition of the paint. Call (209) 871-7060 for a free quote.
Is ceramic coating worth it on a Mustang?
Yes, especially after correction. It adds gloss, makes water bead and helps you wash the car without adding new swirls. On a dark Mustang, that is the difference between staying corrected and slowly going back to swirled.
Can you fix orange peel on a Mustang?
Often, yes, with a full sand and polish, if the clear coat has enough thickness. Skylar measures the paint first and tells you what is realistic. Watch his full sand and polish Ford Mustang on the Skylab YouTube channel.
Do you work on other muscle cars?
Yes. Skylar's work includes a Dodge Hellcat full paint restoration and ceramic coating, a Pontiac GTO and a Corvette, along with Mustangs. Each one is inspected, corrected as needed and protected with a coating or film.
