Ceramic Coating Shops in Tampa Area
Hello fellow Floridians!
I have recently purchased an F80 and have been reading up on the latest paint treatments and am seriously considering getting a ceramic coating applied, as I would love not having to wax the car every 3 months! I am looking at an OptiCoat Pro application, or similiar product, and I was hoping that someone might be able to recommend any good shops in the area that do this, but also don't charge an arm and a leg. Just basic Google searches has led to companies charging $1500+ just for the car, and I was wanting to get the wheels done as well so they were quoting north of $2K!! I know a lot of the cost is paint prep, but the car only has 15K on it and the paint seems to be in excellent shape, so I don't expect too much prep would be needed. If any of you can shoot me any referrals of shops you know of that would be really appreciated. TIA folks! Last edited by rev29k; 04-13-2017 at 03:04 PM.. |

I don't know your situation, but I would recommend that you do the work yourself and save some serious cash. Having your car opti-coated or ceramic coated with a 9H setup truly isn't difficult; just time consuming. With the right car care product and a weekend, you can do it!

With Opticoat pro/pro+ only a dealer can apply it. I am looking at the higher end coatings that will last for quite a while. Don't want to have to have it redone every 2-3 years. Plus I really don't have the time. I used to when I was younger, but not now.

You on any local facebook BMW groups? I'd say I would do it but I don't have a lot of time and have a bad back/hip so yeah getting old sucks.

Nope, I usually stick to forums. I guess I'm old school. I found a place in Sarasota that is mobile and willing to come up to Tampa. Price is a little better as well. So most likely going to go with them.
