Schuyler (Skylar) Ricketts works on every car himself, in a studio built for paint: hexagon lighting, digital paint gauges and infrared curing.
Short trips still chip paint
You do not need a long commute to collect chips. Even short hops on Highway 99 put the car behind trucks at speed, and stones thrown at that speed break paint. Construction zones and gravel shoulders add more. Most chips land on the front bumper and the front edge of the hood, so that is where film goes first.
Film for high-end and exotic cars
On a sports car, one chip on a low nose can mean a costly repaint. Skylab has worked on Lamborghini Huracan and Gallardo, Porsche, Ferrari and Corvette models, and owners of cars like these often choose full front or full body film. STEK film is clear, so the factory paint shows through with its gloss intact.

Film plus coating
Film on the front and a ceramic coating over the whole car is a common pairing. The coating makes the film and paint easier to wash and keeps them glossy. Skylab can do both in one visit at the Modesto studio, which sits just north of Ceres. Ask about mobile service when you call for your free quote.
Questions
Do I need PPF if I only drive around Ceres and Modesto?
Even local Highway 99 trips throw stones. If chips on the hood bother you, a partial or full front is worth a quote. If the car is mostly parked and driven gently, a ceramic coating alone may be enough. Skylar will tell you plainly.
Does Skylab put PPF on exotic cars for Ceres owners?
Yes. Skylab works on exotic and performance cars, including Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche and Corvette. Low, wide fronts catch a lot of debris, so full front or full body STEK film is a common choice on these cars. Call (209) 871-7060 for a free quote.
Will PPF change how my Ceres car looks?
STEK film is clear and close to invisible once installed, so the paint keeps its color and gloss. Up close you may see film edges on some panels. With a full front, the film covers whole panels, so there is no line across the hood.
