How much does ceramic coating cost in Brisbane?
Straight answer: professional ceramic coating in Brisbane runs from about $1,000 for a single-layer package on a smaller car to $2,500+ for a flagship graphene system on a large SUV. Most owners land between $1,300 and $1,900.

What moves the price
Coating is priced by surface area. A Model 3 and a Kia EV9 are different jobs — which is why generic "from" prices elsewhere so often grow at the counter. Ours are locked to your model before you book.
A near-new EV needs light correction; a two-year-old daily with swirl marks needs more machine time. Packages step up from 1-stage to 2-stage correction accordingly.
Paint-only protection is the entry point. Glass, wheels, trim, headlights and interior surfaces each add real labour — that's the difference between Essentials and Ultimate, not marketing.
A 5-year ceramic and a graphene system with a lifetime warranty are genuinely different products, not the same bottle with different stickers. Warranty length tracks the chemistry.
We offer both. Mobile ceramic across Brisbane adds a travel component priced by suburb band — inner Brisbane is included, extended metro adds up to $180.

Common questions
Is ceramic coating worth it in Brisbane's climate?
Queensland UV is among the harshest paint environments in the world — unprotected clear coat visibly dulls within a couple of summers. A coating outlasts dozens of wax applications and keeps resale presentation intact, which is where the money actually comes back.
Why do quotes around Brisbane vary so much?
Different chemistry, different correction depth, and different honesty about vehicle size. Watch for low advertised prices that assume a small hatch with perfect paint — the price grows once your actual car arrives. Ours is fixed on screen before you book.
How long does the application take?
One to two days depending on package and paint condition. Pickup and return is available across most of Brisbane, or choose mobile service and we come to you.
Does ceramic coating work on EVs specifically?
Yes — and EVs are where sensor-safe application matters most. Cameras, radar and ultrasonic zones are mapped before work starts so driver-assist behaves exactly as delivered.
