Excluding the time to cure, a ceramic coating may take up to a couple hours to apply. However, this may vary, as we do recommend getting your paint professionally corrected before apply a ceramic coating, which would take up to a full day of work.
Is It Necessary To Have My Car Paint Corrected First?
When it comes to Calgary ceramic coating, it is not mandatory, but highly recommended to do so. Getting a ceramic coating without having your paint corrected first will result in the coating not being able to fully bond with the clear coat, resulting in a decreased life span. Ceramic coatings perform the best when applied on a clean and corrected paint surface.
