    "The service provided far exceeded my expectations from the beginning to end. I took my Kia Telluride to Matt for a ceramic coating and was extremely happy with the results. What I was most impressed with is the professionalism. Matt took the time to explain the details of the ceramic process and differences in the packages. He is very honest in his assessment of the vehicles paint condition and did not try to up sale me on the packages. He kept me updated on each phase of the process with pictures along the way. Once I picked up my vehicle he did a good job of explaining and demonstrating how to care for a ceramic coated vehicle. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting their car/truck ceramic coated or detailed."

    "I had Matthew come down to Austin from Harker Heights (1 hour drive) to do a paint correction and ceramic coating on my 2008 Corvette. He did an AMAZING job and the Ceramic Pro he put on my car makes it look 1000% better! I had some oxidation on a couple parts and alot of dirt embedded in the paint because I used to have to drive on a dirt road everyday with it. The car now looks like shes never seen dirt before. The difference between what I gave him and what he returned to me is night and day. He also has really amazing prices. You will definitely get more than you are paying for if you choose to give Matthew your business. I'll definitely be coming back."

    "Matthew turned my daily driver that I thought was beyond help into something I barely even want to drive anymore it’s so nice looking. The paint correction and ceramic coating he did was perfect. It looks so good I might try to sell it to Carvana in this market. You wouldn’t know this car has sat outside in direct sunlight /Uv damage for 7+ years ever since I bought it from its original owner, and it looks like there’s a fresh new coat of paint on it , it’s crazy how good it came out."

    "Thank you so much Matthew! When I dropped the car off the paint looked awful, it was full of scratches and bugs that wouldn’t come off. Matthew didn’t rush and treated me like family and my car like it was his own! On the day of pick up my car looked brand new! Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings made the process extremely easy and affordable. I cannot recommend Matthew enough. If you want your car to look brand new and have the best service possible - hit him up!"

This really cool custom build and custom paint color 2004 Nissan 350Z came to us for a color change hood and roof in STEK gloss black clear bra/paint protection film/PPF. This has the same qualities we love from our standard gloss clear bra (rock chip protection, swirl filling in), with the nice gloss black appearance of what you would want from vinyl. 


Of course, the huge difference is our clear bra/paint protection/PPF will actually last in the Texas sun here in the Killeen/Copperas Cove/Fort Hood/Harker Heights areas, whereas vinyl does not seem to hold up well to our sun and temperatures (we have seen some vinyl roof color changes on Corvettes fail after just 1-3 years!).


We recommend ceramic coating all vinyl and even clear bra/paint protection film/PPF for the additional UV protection that will make all films last longer!

About our clear bra/paint protection films:

For this vehicle, we used Legend Paint Protection Films (https://legendppf.com/). We talked a lot in a FAQ article about what the major differences are between clear bra/paint protection film/PPF companies, if any, between major film manufacturers like Xpel, SunTek, Eastman, Llumar, 3M, Ceramic Pro – Kavaca, STEK, Flexishield, Global, Legend and more (https://hhceramiccoatings.com/what-is-the-difference-between-major-clear-bra-brands-faq/). The key takeaway is that the primary differences are in the properties of the adhesive, which is something installers have to deal with, but generally, don’t have an effect on anything the client sees.


People frequently ask about Xpel clear bra/paint protection film, and if Legend PPF compares to Xpel at all. A lot of people use Xpel to mean clear bra, because Xpel is one of the most popular brands. We also discuss Xpel and if it’s the same as clear bra, here: https://hhceramiccoatings.com/is-xpel-the-same-as-clear-bra-faq/

2011 Cadillac CTS-V Carbon Fiber Hood Polish & Ceramic Coating Near Temple, TX When a 2011 Cadillac CTS-V rolled into our shop at Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings, located near Temple, TX , it already had something most cars never get: serious horsepower upgrades and a cam that made the whole building rumble when it fired up. But despite all the performance under the hood, the carbon fiber hood told a different story.  It had just been freshly painted. Before that, it had been wrapped in blue vinyl, and once the vinyl came off, the black paint underneath showed heavy swirl marks and polishing haze . Carbon fiber panels—especially glossy ones—can look incredible… but they are brutally honest. Every imperfection shows. This job quickly turned into a great example of why proper paint correction and polishing matter before installing a ceramic coating.
