Opti-Coat Pricing

[FCAD]

When you quote a price for doing Opti-Coat does your price also include an interior detail or just the Prep and Opti-Coat install?

I just started offering Opti-Coat as a package and I was wondering if I should also include an interior detail for the price.


Thanks

Re: Opti-Coat Pricing

Good question...I was also going to jump into offering opti-coat too. Was wondering what the price range is, how long it usually takes, and what I should charge just for the prep and opti-coat?

Sorry, hope I wasn't diluting your thread at all... I figured its a similar topic.

Re: Opti-Coat Pricing

Whether you include an interior detail or not is up to you. You should charge appropriately for your time. I don't use Opti-Coat, I use Gtechniq coating, very similar application though. Almost every paint coating I do is after a paint correction, so I usually add $250-$350 for the coating onto the price of the correction. You should be getting quite a bit of $$$ for a full paint correction plus a paint coating, and figure you're going to spend at least 15 hours on a car.

Figure out your "shop rate", take a good look at the car, do some test spots, then determine the amount of time it's going to take you to complete the job. Always give yourself some wiggle room too, issues always come up.

For customers seeking OC, I break it down by: Exterior detail cost (depends on level of service) + my OC service fee

If you're doing an interior on top of OC, add it as a separate service. As an example, it might look like this:

Exterior detail including polishing ------$250
Add on OC application-----------------$250
Interior detail-------------------------$150
Total---------------------------------$650

Thanks guys.

Now be sure to let them know it's OC 2.0 and NOT OptiCoat PRO. Big difference. And it's 350 for prime and application. If they want paint correction charge appropriately, don't be afraid.

Questions for the group:

How does the vehicle look after correction, and does the owner get any direction on aftercare?

As I posted elsewhere, I don't envision having this done for my vehicle.
