Questions, answered plainly
Booking, paint, pricing and aftercare. If your question is not here, call the studio and speak to a technician.
Booking and visits
Studio details and correction are usually booked one to two weeks ahead. Full-body PPF and Atelier coatings need five days in the studio, so plan three to four weeks out, especially in spring before car show season.
Yes. We offer enclosed, insured transport across Los Angeles for studio services. Collection within 15 miles of the Arts District is complimentary on packages over $1,500.
For services under four hours, you are welcome to wait in our lounge with coffee and Wi-Fi. For longer work, we provide daily photo updates by text.
Reschedule or cancel free of charge up to 48 hours before your appointment. Inside 48 hours, multi-day bookings carry a $150 fee because the bay is held for your car.
Paint, coatings and film
Yes. A coating locks in whatever is underneath it, including swirls. Every coating package includes the level of correction needed, from a one-stage enhancement to a three-stage correction.
They solve different problems. PPF stops rock chips and scratches. Ceramic coating adds gloss, chemical resistance and easy cleaning. Most clients with new exotics choose front-end PPF with ceramic coating over the entire car.
Our tiers are rated at 2, 5 and 9 years with correct maintenance: hand washing with pH-neutral shampoo and an annual inspection. Automatic brush washes shorten any coating's life.
Yes, with a dedicated matte coating that protects without adding gloss. We never polish matte paint, and we use matte-safe products at every stage.
Pricing and payment
Every car arrives in a different condition. We confirm the final price after a free in-person paint inspection, and we never start work that goes beyond the approved quote without your sign-off.
Multi-day services require a 25 percent deposit to hold the bay. The balance is due at collection. We accept all major cards, ACH and wire transfers.
Yes. Coated and filmed cars can join a monthly maintenance wash plan in the studio or at your home, priced by vehicle size and frequency.
Aftercare
Wait seven days before the first wash so the coating can fully harden. Rinse off bird droppings with water if needed. Your complimentary 30-day inspection wash is the ideal first wash.
Edge lift is rare and fully covered by our workmanship guarantee. Bring the car in and we will re-seat or replace the section at no charge.
Yes. We carry garage keepers liability coverage for vehicles in our care, general liability and commercial auto coverage for transport. Certificates are available on request.
