Ceramic coating in Maine?

[ripple963]

Hi Folks - we're hull #1673, 2026 LEII; we live in Maine.  I'm reaching out to CGI to try to arrange ceramic coating while they are here; their large number of Olivers coated seems a great recommendation.  Also wondering if anyone has any experience / insight on ceramic coating companies in Maine...  any thoughts appreciated.  Thanks!

This is one of the major reasons I had my Ollie done by the CGI guys.

Certainly I didn't want my Ollie screwed up by someone that really didn't know what they were doing.  There are a few shops doing this kind of work in and around the Asheville, NC area, but, very few of them had ANY EXPERIENCE with fiberglass.  And, reviews were generally mixed.

After seeing how hard CGI guys work, seeing the results of their work and then getting to meet them at one of the Oliver Owner's Rallies, I was sold.

There have been a few posts here on the Forum by members that have used other outfits and they have noted satisfactions with the results at prices that are competitive or even lower than CGI.  Unfortunately, I do not recall any of those posts being for ceramic coating shops anywhere near Maine.

Good luck!

One post was re our hull. I got very lucky finding a local independent, referred by my auto body guy, who is quite meticulous himself. My price was considerably lower, but it's not just about price. Having good responsible local resources is best when available. Now I have a local go-to guy, making it easy whenever our Ollie needs a sprucing up!

But we're rather far from the great state of Maine! Though I believe @ripple963 has the right idea in asking. Keep looking! Finding a local company was on my mind for two years as she got more and more pasty white! If not in Maine, maybe you'll find a great company in nearby New Hampshire! 😎 That great state of Tennessee is too far for most of us!
