How much does it cost?

Every car is quoted individually after Mel inspects it in person. The price depends on the Revivify package, the size of the vehicle and the condition of the paint. Paint correction is quoted separately from the coating. Every exotic is quoted after inspection, because the correction time depends entirely on the current condition of the paint and how much carbon and aero has to be worked around. We will tell you the number before anything starts.

Can you correct and coat matte or satin Lamborghini paint?

Coat, yes. Correct, no — and nobody should. Machine polishing a satin finish adds gloss and permanently ruins it. Satin cars receive decontamination-only prep and a coating formulated for matte surfaces. If a shop tells you they can 'polish out' a scratch in satin paint, that is a red flag.

What about the carbon-fibre aero pieces?

Exposed carbon under clear can be corrected like any other clear-coated surface, but it needs judging separately — clear over carbon weave is often thinner than clear over metal, and the weave shows any error immediately. We assess each piece and generally coat rather than cut where there is doubt. Coating exposed carbon also slows the UV yellowing these pieces are prone to.

Do you offer collection, or work off-site?

All correction and coating work is done at our Huntington Beach studio, where we have the lighting and controlled conditions the work requires. This is not a job to do in a driveway. For logistics around collection and delivery, call and we will sort it out with you directly.

Lamborghini · Huracán, Urus, Revuelto

Low, wide, and unforgiving.
Correct it, then protect it properly.

Exotic bodywork is mostly complex curves, deep intakes and carbon aero — panels that are hard to polish safely and easy to damage in a hurry. This is careful, slow work.

At a glance

Lamborghini ceramic coating requires more care than the same job on a normal car, and not because the paint is exotic — because the bodywork is. A Huracán or Revuelto is mostly complex curvature, deep intakes, sharp edges and carbon-fibre aero, with very little of the flat, forgiving panel area a machine polisher wants. Edges burn easily, and a hurried correction on an exotic can cost far more to put right than the job was worth. The correct approach is a slow, hand-supported correction with per-panel thickness gauging, followed by a coating that protects the result. We recommend self-healing chemistry over traditional ceramic here for the same reason as elsewhere: a ceramic cures rigid and cannot repair the marks that covers, trailering and careful hand washing still introduce. The Recon Pros installs Revivify exclusively — a urethane-based self-healing protective coating — and does not install traditional ceramic. In Huntington Beach, Mel Craig leads exotic work personally. Every car is quoted after inspection and correction is quoted separately; every exotic is quoted after inspection.

Ceramic coating, honestly

What a ceramic coating does — and why we install Revivify instead.

A ceramic coating is a liquid silica (SiO₂) layer that cures into a hard, glass-like film bonded to your clear coat. It does real work: strong gloss, water and dirt that release far more easily, better resistance to UV, bird droppings, bug acid and road chemicals, and a car that is genuinely quicker to wash. Those benefits are not marketing — a good ceramic delivers them, and it is a legitimate step up from wax or sealant.

The limitation of a traditional ceramic is that it cures rigid. A hard film does not flex, so it does not repair itself — the swirls your wash mitt puts in it stay, and any defect already in the paint underneath is sealed in for the life of the coating. (A few newer ceramic products add self-healing chemistry; the conventional coatings most shops install do not.) That is why The Recon Pros installs Revivify exclusively instead. Revivify is a urethane-based self-healing protective coating: it stays flexible, so light marring closes back up under heat from the sun or warm rinse water rather than accumulating. Same gloss, same hydrophobics, same chemical resistance — and the finish still looks corrected in year three.

So if you are researching a ceramic coating for your Lamborghini, you are in the right place — just know we will recommend the self-healing route and explain exactly why before you book anything.

The Lamborghini problem

The risk isn't the paint. It's the shape.

There is very little flat panel on a modern Lamborghini. Almost every surface is a curve running into an edge, a vent, a splitter or a carbon element. Machine polishers concentrate heat at exactly those edges, and clear coat is always thinnest where a panel turns.

That is why exotic correction is slow, hand-supported and gauged panel by panel. It is also why an inexperienced shop can do expensive damage very quickly on a car like this — burn one edge on a Huracán and the repair is a bodyshop conversation, not a polishing one.

How we approach it

How exotic work differs from a normal correction.

Same principles, far less margin for error, and a lot more of the job done by hand.

Why the Recon Pros

Installed by the people who train the installers.

Revivify exclusively

We install one coating because we know it inside out. Mel Craig is a master Revivify installer and trains the U.S. network.

Every panel gauged

Paint thickness is measured and logged before and after each pass. We never polish to a fixed recipe.

Correction first, always

A coating cannot remove a defect — it seals it in. Nothing gets coated here until the paint reads clean.

An honest quote

Every car is inspected in person first. You see what the paint needs and why, and the quote is confirmed before any work starts.

If a defect should not be chased, we tell you. Longevity over bragging rights.

FAQ

Lamborghini coating, answered.

Protection is absolutely worth it on a car at this value, but a rigid ceramic is the weaker option. These cars typically live under covers, get trailered, and are hand washed meticulously — and every one of those activities still introduces fine marring. A coating that cannot self-repair records all of it permanently. Self-healing chemistry is the version of this decision that survives contact with how the car is actually kept.
