Schuyler (Skylar) Ricketts works on every car himself, in a studio built for paint: hexagon lighting, digital paint gauges and infrared curing.
Why trucks need correction too
Pickups and SUVs get washed in a hurry, driven on dusty roads and parked in the sun. That leaves swirls, scratches and dull paint across a lot of surface area. On a black truck, every mark shows. Paint correction removes those defects, and Skylar measures each panel with a digital paint thickness gauge before polishing.
Coating a big vehicle
A ceramic coating on a truck covers the paint plus the plastics, trim, wheels and glass that trucks have plenty of. The coated surface sheds water and dust, so washing a full-size truck takes less time and effort. Because trucks and large SUVs have more surface, they are quoted after Skylar sees the vehicle.

Black trucks
Black paint restoration is one of Skylab's biggest specialties, and that includes black trucks. Multi-step correction starts at $3,500 and is what Skylar recommends for black paint. A full-size truck is quoted on its size and condition. Pair the correction with a ceramic coating to keep the finish deep and easier to wash.
Questions
How much does it cost to ceramic coat a truck?
Skylab's coating packages start at $1,000. Because trucks vary so much in size and condition, every truck gets a free quote after Skylar sees it. Call (209) 871-7060 to set up a look at your pickup or SUV.
Is ceramic coating worth it on a work truck?
If it gets dirty often, yes. Dust, mud and road film rinse off a coated truck more easily, and the paint holds its gloss longer in the Valley sun. It will not stop rock chips, so consider PPF on the front for highway trucks.
Can you remove swirls from a black truck?
Yes. Swirl removal on black paint is one of Skylab's specialties. Skylar recommends multi-step correction for black, and he measures the paint before he starts. A coating afterward helps keep new swirls away.
Do you coat truck wheels and trim?
Yes. Skylab coats plastics and trim, wheels, brake calipers, glass and the grille, not just the paint. On a truck, that covers many of the parts that fade or collect grime, so the whole truck looks finished.
