    Planning on ceramic coating my 2019 Limited and wanted to know if anyone has opinions and experience with the kits offered by Adam’s and Cerakote.

    I am leaning towards the Adam’s products but am open to ideas. I would have it done professionally but can’t justify the cost so I will be taking this project on this fall.

    thanks

    I only have experience with Adams in this comparison. I just used their ceramic a few months ago on a clients vehicle. Didn’t disappoint.

    Don't have much experience with what's out there, but I just used Adam's graphene ceramic coating on my calipers and it looks pretty good.

    If you are talking about the traditional (vs the spray) coating....the original Cerakote was crap...lasted about two months. They did come out with a 2.0....which was supposed to be a lot better. I currently have a kit and am waiting to try it out.
