Gtechniq · RV coating

RV ceramic coating, corrected first.

A rig parked outside takes months of sun between trips. Gtechniq ceramic coating on corrected gel coat and paint keeps the gloss, makes washing faster and gives the surface UV protection wax cannot match for long.

Short answer

How much does RV ceramic coating cost in Colorado Springs?

It is quoted after inspection. Surface area and how much correction the gel coat needs move the price more than anything else, and a Class A with chalky sides is a different job from a new travel trailer. Send the length, the type and a few photos and you get a real number.

What is included

One process, sized to the rig.

There is no off-the-shelf RV coating package, because there is no off-the-shelf RV.

Step 1

Decontamination

Included

Wash, roof clean and decontamination so nothing is under the coating that should not be.

  • Full wash
  • Roof cleaned
  • Black streaks removed
  • Surface stripped of old wax

Best for: Every coated rig.

The part that matters

Step 2

Gel coat correction

Included

Oxidation polished off before any coating goes on. Coating over chalk locks the dullness in for good.

  • Oxidation removed
  • Gloss restored
  • Graphics brightened
  • Inspected before coating

Best for: Every coated rig.

Step 3

Gtechniq coating

Quoted

Professional Gtechniq coating applied to the corrected surface by an accredited installer.

  • Professional systems, not retail
  • Hydrophobic, easier washing
  • UV protection
  • Applied by an accredited installer

Best for: Rigs stored outside, and new rigs.

Why coat an RV

It makes more sense on an RV than on a daily car.

A car is in the sun a few hours a day. An RV parked between trips is in it all day, for months.

Does coating make sense for an RV that sits outside?

More sense than on a car. An RV stored between trips takes continuous direct sun for months, so gel coat oxidation and fade happen faster. A properly bonded coating gives that surface protection that wax, which wears off in weeks, does not.

It also makes washing a large surface much faster, because dirt and streaks do not bond as easily.

Will a coating fix chalky gel coat?

No. Coating over oxidised gel coat locks the dullness in permanently. Correction happens first on every job, to the same standard we apply to automotive ceramic coating.

That is also why the price is quoted: a rig that needs heavy correction first is a bigger job than one that only needs a light polish.

What is different about coating an RV?

Surface area, roof material and access. A Class A motorhome has many times the panel area of a sedan, roofs are often rubber or fibreglass rather than painted metal, and ladders, awnings and hardware add edges to work around.

Smaller rigs can come into the shop; big ones are done on site.

Gtechniq Accredited Installer

Same standard. Bigger surface.

17+ years · professionally trained · Gtechniq accredited

Gel coat, fibreglass and painted aluminium oxidise faster at altitude, and an RV spends months parked in the sun. The correction and coating standard Gtechniq accreditation requires is the one applied to every rig.

RVs are a surface-area problem. The process is the same one we use on paint, scaled up.

Years in the trade

Seventeen-plus years of professional detailing. Reading a surface before touching it is the part of the job that experience buys, and it decides every step after it.

In the shop or on site

In the shop at 2725 N Nevada Ave when it fits through the door; otherwise we bring the equipment to your driveway, storage lot or slip.

Gel coat corrected first

Coating or sealing over chalky gel coat locks the dullness in. Oxidation comes off first, on every job.

You know who is working on it

A local, family-run shop — Dana Starr, his two sons and a crew he has worked with for years. Licensed, insured and bonded. The same people quote the job and do the job.

Before and after the coating

Polished outside, reset inside.

Priced separately.

RV Polishing

If you are not coating yet, polishing on its own takes the oxidation off and brings the gloss back.

Where we work

RV ceramic coating across El Paso County.

RVs are worked on at 2725 N Nevada Ave when they fit, and on site when they do not.

RV detailing, motorhome detailing, camper cleaning and RV oxidation removal are all the same trade: a very large gel coat or painted surface, a roof that takes the worst of the weather, and an interior that has to be reset between trips. We work on Class A, B and C motorhomes, fifth-wheels, travel trailers, toy haulers and camper vans.

Colorado is hard on an RV in a specific way. At 6,035 feet the UV load is higher than at sea level, and a rig stored outside between trips takes that sun for months. Oxidation shows up as chalk on your hand.

Tell us the length, the type and where it is parked, and send a few photos. You get a real starting number before anything is booked.

RV coating questions

The things people actually ask.

Answered straight. If yours is not here, call the shop and ask.

01How much does RV ceramic coating cost?

It is quoted after inspection, because size and the amount of correction the gel coat needs move the price more than anything else. Send the length, type and photos for a real number.

02Is correction included?

Yes. The gel coat is decontaminated and corrected before any coating goes on, on every job.

03Can you coat a chalky RV?

Not until the oxidation is polished off. Coating over chalk locks the dullness in.

04What coating do you use?

Gtechniq professional coatings, applied by an accredited installer. These are not the retail products sold online.

05Do you coat RVs on site?

Yes, larger rigs are coated on site. Smaller RVs, vans and trailers can come into the shop.
