Ceramic Coating Price Calculator
Work out what to charge for a ceramic coating job. Enter your hours, shop rate and product costs to get a price that covers your time, materials and profit.
How the ceramic coating price calculator works
Ceramic coating is sold on durability and finish, but it is priced by the hours of prep and application plus the product. Most of the time goes into decontamination and paint correction, so those hours must be in the price.
This calculator separates prep, correction and application so you can show a customer where the hours go and defend the price.
Examples only. Use your real hours, product cost and shop rate. For correction-only jobs use the paint correction price calculator.
