6 Clayton shops publish a ceramic coating price, and they run $299 to $2,100. The national median across 698 shops is $950, so Clayton sits above it. These are advertised rates rather than quotes, and vehicle size and paint condition both move them.
19 businesses in Clayton advertise ceramic coating, paint correction or paint protection film, and 16 of those apply coatings, which is the list on this page. 5 of the 19 publish pricing, 0 of the coating shops hold a manufacturer credential we can check, and 9 operate as mobile services rather than from a fixed shop.

Published rates are a range. What you pay comes down to size, paint condition and how much correction the finish needs first. Tell us the car and we will put it in front of shops that publish their pricing.
