Schuyler (Skylar) Ricketts works on every car himself, in a studio built for paint: hexagon lighting, digital paint gauges and infrared curing.
Correction on Porsche paint
German factory clear coats are often on the harder side, so polishing them takes the right pads, compounds and patience. Skylar measures each panel with a digital paint thickness gauge and works under custom studio lighting, so he can remove swirls without taking more clear coat than needed. Single-step correction starts at $700 and two-step at $1,450.
PPF for the front end
A Porsche's nose, front fenders and mirrors take the hits on the highway. STEK paint protection film covers those areas with a clear layer that absorbs rock chips and scuffs. On a 911, the wide rear fenders can catch debris from the front tires too. Skylar quotes coverage from a partial front up to the whole car.

Questions
How much does it cost to ceramic coat a Porsche in Modesto?
At Skylab, coatings start at $1,000 for GYEON Infinite base, $1,500 for base plus top coat and $1,800 for nano graphene. Correction is extra if the paint needs it. Call (209) 871-7060 for a free quote on your Porsche.
Do I need PPF on a new Porsche?
If you drive it on the highway, film on the front is the best defense against rock chips, and new is the best time, before the first chip. A ceramic coating over the film and paint then makes the whole car easier to clean.
Can you correct Porsche paint without removing too much clear?
Yes, with measurement and care. Skylar takes digital paint thickness gauge readings before polishing and checks progress under studio lighting. That way he removes the defects and leaves the clear coat the car needs for the future.
Is my Porsche safe at your studio?
Skylab is an insured shop with 24/7 security cameras. Skylar works on every car himself, and high-value cars are the work he prefers, from Porsches to Lamborghinis and Ferraris. You deal with one person from quote to pickup.
