What these numbers don't tell you

  • Advertised rates are not quotes, invoices, completed purchases, or a representative survey.
  • Packages can differ by vehicle size, paint condition, coverage, product, correction stages, taxes, and required maintenance.
  • The frozen internal artifact contains normalized eligible observations and hashed shop keys for reproducibility; it is not public source evidence.

Know what the market is actually charging

Once a month, read off the price lists of the 569 shops that publish one. Whether you are about to buy or about to quote, it is the same data from opposite sides.

For people about to spend four figures on paint, and wanting to spend it once.

  • What shops are actually chargingWhen the published price bands move in your state, and by how much. You will know whether a quote is normal before you are sitting in the office.
  • What a quote should spell outThe lines that separate a real quote from a number: correction stages, the warranty terms, what happens if it fails.
  • Aftercare that changes the outcomeThe few things that decide whether a coating reaches its term, and the ordinary products that quietly end it early.
