Ceramic Coating & Paint Correction in Auckland

Uncompromised craftsmanship. Strictly one car per day

Auckland Coating Specialists Since 2014

The Coating Lab is an IDA certified ceramic coating and paint correction studio in Mt Wellington, Auckland. Our purpose-built, climate-controlled workshop is designed around a single rule: one vehicle per day. We use only premium products from Gtechniq and ONYX Coating, applied over properly prepared paint, to deliver lasting protection and a depth of gloss that rushed work cannot match.

Owner-Operated, Start to Finish

The studio is owner-operated by Ryan, an IDA certified detailer and accredited Gtechniq and ONYX applicator who has worked in Auckland's car protection industry since 2014. Every critical stage, from paint inspection and correction through to coating application, is performed by Ryan personally, supported in the workflow by his partner Abbie. There are no trainees, so the person who assesses your car is the person who finishes it.
