Why Coat a Vehicle in La Plata County

Life above 6,500 feet is hard on paint. A ceramic coating adds a hard, slick layer over it, so dirt and road film rinse off instead of bonding.

  • High-altitude sunStronger UV fades paint and trim faster up here. A coating resists that fading.
  • Mag chloride and road saltThe county's dust-control spray and winter road treatments are corrosive. On coated paint they wash off far more easily.
  • Pine sap, bugs and bird droppingsThey sit on top of the coating instead of etching into the clear coat.
  • Less washingA coated vehicle can cut washing and upkeep roughly in half.
