SO, I'm in a dilemma here guys/gals.

I want to get the car ceramic coated and I really want that exhaust as well. (Automatic shifter upgrade is a must as well as the ceramic coating/cat back exhaust and then I'm done.)
I think I'm going with the ceramic coating first. The guy that's doing it, just completed an extra course in the 9 year ceramic coating with extra hardeners in it. As much as I want the car louder, I think I'm going ceramic coating first. Maybe late spring?
Would you do the ceramic coating first as well?
Thanks in advance!

 

I'd do the ceramic first. Easier/cheaper to do while the car is new and the paint does not need much, if any, correction.

 

 

Yeah, that's what I'm leaning towards myself.
Thanks for your input guys.

 

Took the beast out again this morning.
What a blast!

 

 

Looking real good, Tony

 

Thanks guys!

 

Who's the friend?

 

My buddy from work.
He was always into cars, but once we started talking, he was hellbent on getting another toy. He blames me for this.
I think he spent close to 4k in mods so far and he's still looking to do more. LOL

 

What's his toy?

 

A 2018 EcoBoost Mustang convertible. He bought it used earlier this year.
He's always buying stuff for it. lol

 

It's his bvtch!

 

LOL
Pretty much. Dude drives it in rain/sun. Not in the really bad weather though and never snow.

 

Looking good, but you're getting it dirty cant have that.

 

I know, it sucks!! lol
I may clean it up a bit this weekend. I still need to wash and wax the truck too. I may do the truck before the car since the truck is the daily driver and sees all the action whether it be rain/snow/wet pavement. I hope the long weekend has great weather so I can tackle that project.
I think once I get the car ceramic coated, she'll be looking a lot better and dust may not stick as much. It's already easy to clean as it just sees dry sunny days when out and about.

How's the new Jeep man?

 

just curious -- who does that here in Mass., and roughly how much does it cost?

 

There are 3 shops that I know of,........UNIQUE CARE CAR. They did the Cquartz Finest on my daily driver truck years ago.
There is CRAFT DETAILING, and there is BRAD's AUTO RECONDITIONING.

I'm either going to have CRAFT DETAILING or BRAD's AUTO RECONDITIONING do my car. I have to visit the shops and check out the people doing the work and the finished products on the cars.
I'm guessing it's going to cost about $1,700-2K. It sure ain't cheap! lol

 

thanks for the names, and yeah that ain't cheap, so I won't be doing it on my 2010, it's way too late now!

 

LOL
Yeah, that's for sure. You can do it yourself like a lot of people do,....BUT!!! lol You have to paint correct your car first and make sure the surface is 100% PERFECT. Plus, when you apply the ceramic coating, you have to make sure you are making high or low spots with it. (And, I'm sure a lot of people have low and high spots with their ceramic coating, but don't even know it. lol)
These are the reasons I will not try to do it myself. I'll leave it to those with many years experience with paint correct/ceramic coatings.
