I think he's talking about ceramic coating for the paint.

Your man does fantastic work. Paint looks like it changes color as you look at it in different light or a different angle of approach. We're envious..

Car has to “breath” in the booth for 3 more days then he will pull it out and wet sand and buff it. Trim items will be installed and then assembly of stuff like bumpers etc. he said he’s never done a 64 so it might take a few days. I am hoping to pick it up the first of October. If you are ANYWHERE near Tampa (I am 8 hours away) and can get your car there. Send it to KMA Customs. You can see his work and it’s only 50 an hour.

This is the latest progress. If the rest of his staff would quit getting Covid or just outright quitting I could have it by now. Way it looks now I’m not even gonna speculate when he will be done but it shouldn’t be much longer
