We recently worked on a remarkable 2023 Dodge Challenger ceramic coating project at Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings. This project was particularly special because our valued client was a referral from another satisfied customer. We deeply appreciate these referrals, as they reflect our clients’ trust and satisfaction in our services.



The 2023 Dodge Challenger is an icon in the world of muscle cars, and our goal was to ensure that it continued to stand out, even in the challenging Texas climate. The client’s Challenger was a ‘Shakedown’ model, and it came in a stunning and distinctive appearance with bold vinyl stripes. However, the Texas sun and road conditions posed challenges, including the fading risk of those vibrant stripes.

    Took my wife’s Mazda CX 5 with a fair amount of swirling in the paint to HHCC and was not disappointed. It took about 30 min from the time I inquired to receive a text and link to book services. On the day of service Matt was extremely professional and exactly on time like he said he would be. The post care instructions and the kit he gave me were an awesome added touch. Car looks great now and I am very happy. Go check him out if you are interested.

2023 Dodge ChalleNger ceramic coating cont.

Enter ceramic coating, the ultimate solution for protecting and enhancing the appearance of vehicles like the 2023 Dodge Challenger ceramic coating project. Not only did this process offer exceptional protection for the car’s paint, but it was also the perfect safeguard for those eye-catching vinyl stripes.


One of the primary benefits of ceramic coating lies in its ability to guard against the relentless Texas sun’s harmful UV rays. These rays are notorious for causing fading, especially on vinyl stripes. With the ceramic coating applied, the Challenger’s vinyl stripes were shielded from the sun’s damaging effects, ensuring that the vibrant colors and sharp lines remained intact. Our client’s Challenger continued to turn heads, and we take pride in preserving its captivating appearance.



Another notable advantage of ceramic coating is its hydrophobic properties, making it adept at repelling water and preventing contaminants from adhering to the vehicle’s surface. This feature is invaluable in Texas, where dust and dirt are constant companions and brake dust can stick to the car. The slick, smooth surface created by ceramic coating makes it much more difficult for dirt, debris, and bugs to stick to the car. This eases the cleaning process and ensures that the Challenger retains its pristine appearance with minimal effort.

If you have a 2023 Dodge Challenger do you pick the ceramic coating or do you get PPF?

2023 Dodge Challeger ceramic coating cont. - Copperas Cove/Killeen/Harker Heights

Moreover, the ceramic coating is a durable protective layer that withstands the challenges posed by Texas weather. It resists environmental contaminants, road salt, bird droppings, and tree sap, all common nuisances that can degrade a vehicle’s appearance. This longevity ensures that the Challenger continues to shine, even under the scorching Texan sun.


One distinct feature of this project was our decision to ceramic coat the wheels of the 2023 Dodge Challenger ceramic coating project. This addition offers a host of benefits, particularly for muscle cars known for their brake dust. By applying ceramic coating to the wheels, we’ve made it significantly easier for our client to clean off that common brake dust, which often plagues heavier muscle cars. This not only saves time and effort but also maintains the vehicle’s overall appearance.


In conclusion, the ceramic coating applied to the 2023 Dodge Challenger is a testament to our commitment to excellence at Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings. We deeply appreciate our clients’ trust in our services and are dedicated to ensuring their vehicles shine brilliantly. The ceramic coating process offers exceptional protection and preservation, making it a wise choice for anyone looking to maintain their vehicle’s stunning appearance, especially in the Texas climate. Thank you to our loyal clients and referrals for allowing us to be a part of this journey.

Changing a tesla cybertruck to black phantom red near killeen tx
By Matthew Jones March 29, 2025
Love them or hate them, the 2024 Cybertrucks are polarizing cars. At Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings, we love ALL cars, especially when we get to install color change PPF on them! We have 120 different colors to choose from, and this Killeen area client picked Black Phantom Red from UPPF / Terminax with a 10 year warranty. We have Interstellar Chrome Blue on our minivan, Diamond Black on our loaner car, and have installed the Satin Black on a previous Tesla Cybertruck, and all are holding up great! Despite the abuse that my personal Kia Carnival takes as well as our Kia Forte loaner car, the film maintains a great level of hydrophobics - making the film (and cars) super easy to detail. Even the recent dust storms we had in the Copperas Cove - Killeen - Temple area came off fairly easily with just soap and water (and no scrubbing).
