Schuyler (Skylar) Ricketts works on every car himself, in a studio built for paint: hexagon lighting, digital paint gauges and infrared curing.
Where a Model Y takes damage
Like any car, the Model Y takes most of its rock chips on the front bumper, hood, front fenders and mirrors. Miles on Highway 99 and I-5 add up fast. Behind the front wheels, the lower doors and rockers catch grit thrown up by the tires. Those are the areas where paint protection film does the most good.
Film, coating or both
A full front of STEK PPF covers the most exposed areas. A ceramic coating over the whole car adds gloss, makes water bead and helps the paint and glass shed dirt. The Model Y has a large glass roof, and glass can be coated too. Skylar will look at your car and quote the mix that fits how you drive.

Correct before you protect
Whether your Model Y is new or a few years old, Skylar inspects the paint under studio lighting first. Delivery marring or wash swirls are polished out before film or coating goes on, so they are not locked in underneath. You can watch a Tesla paint correction and GYEON Mohs ceramic coating on the Skylab YouTube channel.
Questions
Should I get PPF or ceramic coating on my Model Y?
If rock chips are your worry, PPF. If you want gloss and easier washing, ceramic coating. A popular setup is both: film on the front and coating everywhere else. Skylar can quote either or both at (209) 871-7060.
How much does Model Y ceramic coating cost in Modesto?
Skylab's GYEON Infinite base coating starts at $1,000, base plus top coat at $1,500 and Revolution nano graphene at $1,800. Paint correction, if needed, is extra. PPF is quoted free based on the coverage you want.
Can you coat the Model Y glass roof?
Yes. Skylab coats glass as part of ceramic coating work. A coated glass roof and windshield shed water and are easier to keep clean. Ask to include glass when you request your free quote.
Does Tesla paint need correction before coating?
Not always, but it should be checked. New and used Teslas can have marring from delivery, washing or wear. Skylar inspects the paint under studio lighting and with a paint thickness gauge, then tells you if it needs a polish first.
