Ceramic coating in Artarmon: blue Kia EV6 with glossy paint

Ceramic paint protection in Artarmon

Artarmon is a leafy pocket of the lower North Shore, with Federation and inter-war homes in its heritage streets, apartments around the station and a busy light-industrial area. Many of the original houses have no garage, so plenty of cars live on the street under the trees.

Those big street trees are the main problem for paint here. Sap, blossom and bird droppings land on cars every day, and in summer they bake on and etch the clear coat within days. A ceramic coating gives them far less to grip, so they come off with a rinse instead of a polish.

We use Gtechniq, with a 5 or 9-year warranty provided by Gtechniq. Used cars are machine polished first so the coating locks in a flawless finish, not the swirls. We also coat cars in nearby Lane Cove and Killara.

What to expect from a ceramic coating in Artarmon

If your car lives on the street, the job is still possible, but a garage, carport or apartment car park is much better because the coating needs to stay dry for the first few hours. Many Artarmon apartments have secure parking, which works well if the building allows it.

The coating is only as good as the paint underneath, so we take our time on the preparation. You can add a wheel coating, glass coating or interior protection while we're there.

  • On the day: a full wash, decontamination and clay bar, then the coating panel by panel. New cars take about a day; used cars take up to two because the paint is machine polished first.
  • Where: ideally a garage or carport, with a tap and power point within reach.
  • Warranty: 5 or 9 years from Gtechniq, depending on the package.
  • After: no washing for about a week, then a gentle pH-neutral wash every couple of weeks.

Questions from Artarmon customers

Can you coat my car at home in Artarmon?

Yes, ideally in a garage or under a carport so the coating cures dry. You'll need a tap and a power point within reach of the car. We bring everything else.

How much does ceramic coating cost?

From $999. The final price depends on the vehicle size and how much paint correction it needs, so we confirm it in a free quote.

My car is parked on the street. Can you still coat it?

Sometimes. We need a tap and a power point within reach, and a dry forecast so the coating can cure. A garage, carport or apartment car park is better, so tell us your parking setup when you ask for a quote.

How long does it last?

Our Gtechniq packages carry a 5 or 9-year warranty, provided the car is washed the way we show you.

How long does the job take?

A new car takes about a day. A used car takes up to two days, because the paint is machine polished first to remove swirls.

How can I pay?

Cash, card (Visa, Mastercard), Apple Pay or Google Pay, paid when the job is done.
