Ceramic coating, paint protection film and tint, done in a sealed bay in Tacoma. We measure the paint before we touch it, and we text you photos until you pick it up.

About Vesper. Most shops sell a wax and a smile. We sell paint that still looks right in five years, measured, not guessed. When the car is the thing you love, you want people who check the paint under real light before they touch it.

I opened Vesper after ten years of watching good cars leave other shops with swirl marks they didn’t have when they came in.

So we work slowly on purpose: a paint-depth reading before we touch it, a sealed bay with proper light, and a walk-around with you at pickup.

We are a crew of four, and the person who quotes your car is the person who works on it. That’s the whole idea.

They showed me the paint readings before they touched my car. The walk-around under their lights was better than the day I bought it.

    Rock chips used to drive me nuts on I-5. Two winters with the film and the hood still looks new.

Text Mara a photo of the car. She answers between jobs, usually inside an hour.

Mara QuillService advisor
Hours
Mon-Fri 8-6, Sat 9-3
How long does a ceramic coating take?

One to two days. The coating needs a night indoors to cure before it sees rain, so most cars stay with us overnight.

Is PPF worth it on a daily driver?

If you drive the highway every day, yes. A full front costs less than repainting one hood, and the film carries a 10-year warranty.

Can I wash the car myself afterwards?

Please do. Every job comes with an aftercare kit and a one-page guide. Just skip automatic brush washes.

Which tint shades are legal here?

In Washington, front side windows need to let in at least 24% of light. We meter every install and print the numbers on your receipt.

Do you work with insurance?

Yes. We write the estimate, send photos to your insurer and handle the back and forth. You choose the shop, not them.
