    "The service provided far exceeded my expectations from the beginning to end. I took my Kia Telluride to Matt for a ceramic coating and was extremely happy with the results. What I was most impressed with is the professionalism. Matt took the time to explain the details of the ceramic process and differences in the packages. He is very honest in his assessment of the vehicles paint condition and did not try to up sale me on the packages. He kept me updated on each phase of the process with pictures along the way. Once I picked up my vehicle he did a good job of explaining and demonstrating how to care for a ceramic coated vehicle. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting their car/truck ceramic coated or detailed."

    "I had Matthew come down to Austin from Harker Heights (1 hour drive) to do a paint correction and ceramic coating on my 2008 Corvette. He did an AMAZING job and the Ceramic Pro he put on my car makes it look 1000% better! I had some oxidation on a couple parts and alot of dirt embedded in the paint because I used to have to drive on a dirt road everyday with it. The car now looks like shes never seen dirt before. The difference between what I gave him and what he returned to me is night and day. He also has really amazing prices. You will definitely get more than you are paying for if you choose to give Matthew your business. I'll definitely be coming back."

    "Matthew turned my daily driver that I thought was beyond help into something I barely even want to drive anymore it’s so nice looking. The paint correction and ceramic coating he did was perfect. It looks so good I might try to sell it to Carvana in this market. You wouldn’t know this car has sat outside in direct sunlight /Uv damage for 7+ years ever since I bought it from its original owner, and it looks like there’s a fresh new coat of paint on it , it’s crazy how good it came out."

    "Thank you so much Matthew! When I dropped the car off the paint looked awful, it was full of scratches and bugs that wouldn’t come off. Matthew didn’t rush and treated me like family and my car like it was his own! On the day of pick up my car looked brand new! Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings made the process extremely easy and affordable. I cannot recommend Matthew enough. If you want your car to look brand new and have the best service possible - hit him up!"

We met this Temple-based client last year, while doing a mobile auto detailing job in Pflugerville, and we are fortunate that he saved our business card for a year and grateful that he chose HHCC to install his track package clear bra/paint protection film/PPF, as well as a five year ceramic coating using SB3 Coatings Alpha on the exterior surfaces (to include the clear bra), SB3 Coatings Vortex two year ceramic coating for wheels on our “wheels-off” package (we remove the wheels and coat all of the surfaces instead of just the wheel faces), and SB3 Coatings Optic one year ceramic glass /windshield coating.


Bouley Detailing

Our colleagues from Bouley Detailing (https://www.bouleydetailing.com/) came up from Houston to help with this clear bra/paint protection film package. We work with Bouley Detailing quite a bit, as it makes us more efficient to have two installers, and we both attended original training certification together in Houston at Global Films, before they went to Xpel training in San Antonio and we went on to Auto Film Specialists /Auto Film Mastery in Houston for additional training. Originally we attended Ceramic Pro Kavaca training in Carlsbad, CA.


We love working on C8 corvettes, and we have done so many in the local area that it never gets boring!


Our clear bra/paint protection film track package covers the hood, bumper, fenders, front parts of the mirror, rocker panels (below the doors and in the case of the C8, into the vent area), the leading roof edge, and partial A-pillar (pillars in front of the driver).

Material

For this vehicle, we used Legend Paint Protection Films (https://legendppf.com/). We talked a lot in a FAQ article about what the major differences are between clear bra/paint protection film/PPF companies, if any, between major film manufacturers like Xpel, SunTek, Eastman, Llumar, 3M, Ceramic Pro – Kavaca, STEK, Flexishield, Global, Legend and more (https://hhceramiccoatings.com/what-is-the-difference-between-major-clear-bra-brands-faq/). The key takeaway is that the primary differences are in the properties of the adhesive, which is something installers have to deal with, but generally, don’t have an effect on anything the client sees.


People frequently ask about Xpel clear bra/paint protection film, and if Legend PPF compares to Xpel at all. A lot of people use Xpel to mean clear bra, because Xpel is one of the most popular brands. We also discuss Xpel and if it’s the same as clear bra, here: https://hhceramiccoatings.com/is-xpel-the-same-as-clear-bra-faq/

About our ceramic coating offerings:


SB3 Coatings (sb3coating.com) are great coatings. They are similar to other offerings we have had in the past. You may be more familiar with other brands’ offerings. Here is a quick reference to help you understand our transition.


 – The SB3 Coatings Solo is similar to Ceramic Pro Sport. (although SB3 Solo has a one-year warranty whereas Ceramic Pro Sport has a six-month warranty)


– SB3 Coatings Omega is similar to Ceramic Pro Bronze (Ceramic Pro Top Coat) two year coating


– The SB3 Coatings Thirty3 is a three-year ceramic coating. Which is a warranty period we have not had in the past.


– SB3 Coatings Alpha is a five-year coating, similar to the Ceramic Pro Silver (five-year) package, which uses Ceramic Pro 9H (one layer) and Ceramic Pro Top Coat (one layer). SB3 Coatings Alpha utilizes a single coating system which helps us get your vehicle back to you faster without sacrificing quality.


– The SB3 Coatings Trinity is a seven-year coating, which we did not offer previously with Ceramic Pro.


– SB3 Coatings Vortex is a two-year ceramic coating similar to Ceramic Pro Wheel & Caliper or Ceramic Pro 9H (when used on wheels).


– The SB3 Coatings Optic is a one-year ceramic coating similar to Ceramic Pro Glass. It is used on your windshield/glass surfaces.


Additionally, we have access to many brands of ceramic coatings. We always choose what is best for the client in their particular situation.

Changing a tesla cybertruck to black phantom red near killeen tx

2024 Tesla Cybertruck Black Phantom Red Color Change PPF Killeen TX

By Matthew Jones • March 29, 2025
Love them or hate them, the 2024 Cybertrucks are polarizing cars. At Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings, we love ALL cars, especially when we get to install color change PPF on them! We have 120 different colors to choose from, and this Killeen area client picked Black Phantom Red from UPPF / Terminax with a 10 year warranty. We have Interstellar Chrome Blue on our minivan, Diamond Black on our loaner car, and have installed the Satin Black on a previous Tesla Cybertruck, and all are holding up great! Despite the abuse that my personal Kia Carnival takes as well as our Kia Forte loaner car, the film maintains a great level of hydrophobics - making the film (and cars) super easy to detail. Even the recent dust storms we had in the Copperas Cove - Killeen - Temple area came off fairly easily with just soap and water (and no scrubbing).

What Can Prevent Hail Damage in the Killeen, TX Area?

What Can You Do To Prevent Hail Damage in Killeen TX

By Matthew Jones • March 27, 2025
If you’re in Killeen, TX, Harker Heights, or Copperas Cove, you know that hailstorms can be unpredictable and destructive. Every year, we get customers asking: 🚘 "How can I protect my car from hail damage?" The short answer: A garage or covered structure is the only real way to stop hail damage. Even then, depending on the size and wind speed of the storm, you may still experience some level of damage.

Let’s dive into the real answers about hail damage prevention.
Should You Pay Out of Pocket for Hail Damage Repair in Killeen, TX?

Should You Pay Out of Pocket for Hail Repair in Killeen TX?

By Matthew Jones • March 27, 2025
Short answer? Probably not. Hail damage repair in Killeen, TX, Harker Heights, and Copperas Cove can get very expensive—very fast. Many people assume that fixing hail damage is a simple, low-cost process until they see the final repair bill. We often have customers who purchase a car with existing hail damage, thinking they’ll fix it later. But once they realize how labor-intensive and costly hail repair actually is, they start to rethink their decision. If you’re considering paying out of pocket for hail repair, let’s break down why it’s almost never a good idea and what alternatives are available.

Hail Damage Repair Insurance Supplement Explained - Killeen TX

By Matthew Jones • March 27, 2025
Hail damage repair in Killeen, TX, can be a frustrating process, especially when dealing with insurance claims and supplements. One of the longest parts of getting your vehicle repaired after a hailstorm is waiting for the insurance supplement approval—something many vehicle owners don’t realize upfront. If your car was caught in one of the recent hailstorms in Killeen, Copperas Cove, or Harker Heights, chances are your insurance company’s initial estimate was far too low. In fact, we can confidently say that 99.99% of all hail damage insurance estimates are underwritten or undervalued when first reported. So why does this happen, and how does the supplement process work? Let’s break it down.
Protecting a Limited-Edition 2025 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake with Custom Paint Protection Film

2025 Ford F150 Shelby Super Snake Paint Protection Film Killeen TX

By Matthew Jones • March 26, 2025
There are cool trucks, and then there are legendary trucks—and this 2025 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake is one of the coolest we’ve had in the shop! This isn’t just any F-150; it’s a beastly, high-performance truck built for speed, style, and exclusivity. Given its limited production and custom modifications, this Shelby Super Snake required a fully custom paint protection film (PPF) installation. Since this isn’t an official Ford production model, pre-cut templates for PPF simply don’t exist—meaning this was an extensive custom job requiring precision and expertise. Here’s what we installed on this 2025 F-150 Shelby Super Snake: ✔ Custom-Cut PPF on the hood, fenders, mirrors, and front bumper. ✔ Five-year ceramic coating on the paint, plastics, wheels, and glass. ✔ Hand-cut precision work to accommodate the unique Shelby modifications. 📍 Located near Killeen, Copperas Cove, and Temple, TX?

When Is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) Not Suitable for Hail Damage or Door Dings in Killeen, TX?

What Makes Dents Unsuitable For Paintless Dent Repair in Killeen TX

By Matthew Jones • March 26, 2025
At Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings, we specialize in paintless dent repair (PDR) to restore vehicles damaged by hail storms, door dings, and minor dents, all while preserving the original factory paint. However, not all dents can be repaired using PDR. Some vehicles in Killeen, TX, Copperas Cove, and Temple sustain damage that requires conventional body shop work, whether due to the severity of the dent, stretched metal, cracked paint, or material limitations. If your car was hit by hail in Killeen, TX, or received a door ding in a Fort Cavazos parking lot, here’s everything you need to know about when PDR won’t be the best option for your repairs—and why.
