Vehicle Paint Protection - Even Out On The Water

Athens, TN’s Top Installers Of Boat & RV Ceramic Coatings

How Does A Ceramic Coating On A Marine Vehicle Work?

Boats and jet skis are built for the water, right? So how on earth can we at Lifestiles bring paint protection packages similar to those that protect and defend the exterior surfaces of an automobile to sea and lake-based rides, and how do they work exactly?


Having a boat ceramic coating package installed on whatever type of marine vehicle you own is wise well beyond the concept of aesthetics. Marine-grade SB3 Ceramic Coating packages help maintain the paintwork, metal surfaces, and in many cases the interior areas that can be exposed to harmful ultraviolet rays, salt in the seawater you cruise across, and even common contamination that many automobiles and off-road vehicles experience commonly, such as bug splatters, bird droppings, tree sap, food spills, and more.


And just like our automotive ceramic coatings, we at Lifestiles hold certifications and high levels of product training all geared towards delivering an expert paint protection end result. Contact Lifestiles today to get a quote for one of our boat ceramic coating packages and let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Frequently Asked Boat Ceramic Coating Questions - Lifestiles of Athens TN 


  • Does ceramic coating my boat or jet ski bring all the same protection found on coated cars?

    Yes, though it is important for our boat ceramic coating team here at Lifestiles to note that while ceramic coatings are designed to protect against contamination and paint stains, they do need regular maintenance. Boat ceramic coatings need even more unique attention to detail based on the contamination they face, which includes corrosive salt water..

  • Can salty seawater cause damage to my boat?

    Saltwater and salt in general is corrosive to exposed metal, unprotected paint, and intricate moving parts of any type of vehicle, whether it is land or water-based. Ceramic coatings are the best way to resist the lasting effects of these damaging contaminants and in turn will help your boat or jet ski maintain quality for years.

  • Do ceramic coatings provide any other functional improvements to marine vehicles?

    Because ceramic coatings are extremely hydrophobic, allowing them to resist contamination and surface stains, that slickness comes into play with fuel economy. A boat with a ceramic coating hand-applied by our installation professionals here at Lifestiles will experience speed and fuel efficiency unlike any other!

  • Do you use different formulas for marine ceramic coatings than for automotive purposes?

    Marine-grade ceramic coatings are generally more protective against the elements specific to marine vehicles. These formulas also need unique detailing work for maintenance and warranty purposes, and need these routines performed a bit more frequently than automotive ceramic coating packages.

Boat & RV Ceramic Coating - Protection and Benefits


Highly Protective Sun Shield

The surface of any size body of water is a veritable magnifying glass for ultraviolet rays, which can really cause long-term degradation on the paintwork of a boat. Having an SB3 Ceramic Coating installed on its surface will repel those UV rays right back into the water while leveraging them in an effort to make your paint look unstoppably shiny.

Tremendous Hydrophobicity

Even if you only sail on sunny days, that does not mean your boat or other marine vehicle is not experiencing messes and residual contamination left behind by spray, bird droppings, or any other types of contamination. The hydrophobicity at play in our SB3 Ceramic Coatings here at Lifestiles creates an incredibly tense surface on coated areas that disallow any liquid or solid messes from hardening on your paintwork.

Remarkable Gloss and Shine

Nanoparticles in the surface and molecular structure of a ceramic coating not only interlock with your marine vehicle’s paintwork to form a lasting, protective bond in similar fashion to an automobile’s ceramic coating, they also enhance the coated surfaces. SB3 Ceramic Coating formulas create a surface gloss that truly elevates your boat’s finish quality.

Investment Protector

All of these aforementioned benefits and characteristics of our marine-grade ceramic coatings add up to unmatched value for your boat, jet ski, pontoon, or other type of marine vehicle. Not to mention the functional efficiency at play when a ceramic coating is applied to the hull of your watercraft, allowing it to travel more efficiently across the surface of the water.
