⁉️ DID YOU KNOW ⁉️
Modern vehicle paint can be surprisingly thin.
I’ve measured brand new cars with total paint readings as low as 50 microns.
To put that into perspective, a standard sheet of paper is roughly 100 microns thick.
And that paint reading isn’t just clear coat — it includes the primer, colour and clear coat combined.
That’s why protecting new paint early can make a lot of sense.
Every day your paint is exposed to things like:
• UV and harsh WA sun
• Bird droppings
• Bugs and tree sap
• Road grime and contamination
• Regular washing and drying
A ceramic coating adds a sacrificial protective layer over the factory paint, helping reduce what the paint itself has to deal with.
It also makes the surface much slicker and easier to clean, while improving gloss and water behaviour.
Ceramic coating won’t make paint indestructible, and it won’t stop stone chips — but it can make maintaining and preserving a good finish considerably easier.
The best time to protect your paint is before it needs fixing.
