What Determines Ceramic Coating Price?
1. Coating Brand and Package
The coating product itself is a cost driver, and pricing varies with which certified brand and product line is used within each package (IGL or Gyeon). Labour is a significant portion of the price — quality ceramic application is time-intensive, involving multiple thin layers applied panel by panel.
2. Paint Correction Required
Ceramic coating locks in whatever's on your paint, so correction is mandatory. The level required depends on paint condition:
- Single-Stage Correction (maintenance polish): $300
- Two-Stage Correction (medium defects): $650
- Three-Stage Correction (heavy swirls / scratches): $900
Brand-new vehicles may only need a single-stage. Older / used vehicles often need two or three-stage. A reputable shop will inspect your paint and quote correction separately from the coating.
3. Add-Ons and Combinations
Paint correction is commonly paired with ceramic coating and priced separately. Here's what full packages look like combined with correction:
