Ceramic Coatings Melbourne
Professional ceramic coatings designed to enhance gloss, simplify maintenance and protect your vehicle's finish against everyday environmental exposure.
At Studio Lumina, we exclusively install System X ceramic coatings, combining advanced coating technology with meticulous paint preparation and professional application.
From our accessible Pro+ coating to the advanced Max G+ and Phantom 2K systems, we offer protection tailored to your vehicle and your expectations.
Protection Beyond the Shine.
Ceramic coatings form a durable protective layer that chemically bonds to your vehicle's exterior surfaces. Designed to enhance appearance and simplify ongoing maintenance, System X coatings help preserve your vehicle's finish against everyday environmental exposure.
Exceptional Hydrophobicity
Advanced water-repellent properties encourage water to bead and roll away from the surface, helping reduce water retention and making everyday maintenance easier.
Easier Cleaning & Maintenance
A slick, protective surface helps minimise the adhesion of dirt, grime and road contaminants, making regular washing quicker and less demanding.
Enhanced Gloss & Slickness
Ceramic coatings enhance the visual depth, clarity and reflective qualities of your paintwork, creating a beautifully smooth finish that complements the original colour.
Environmental Protection
A chemically resistant protective layer helps defend the underlying finish against environmental contaminants, bird droppings, road grime and everyday chemical exposure.
System X at a Glance.
Developed in the United States by Element 119, System X has its origins in advanced aerospace coating technology. Today, its ceramic coatings are manufactured in Connecticut, USA, combining specialist surface protection technology with exceptional gloss, hydrophobicity and durability.
In Australia, System X coatings are available through a network of certified professional installation centres, rather than general retail. As an authorised System X installer, Studio Lumina offers three carefully selected coatings - Pro+, Max G+ and Phantom 2K - tailored to different vehicles and protection requirements.

The System X Range.
Every vehicle and owner has different expectations. Our carefully selected range of System X coatings offers three levels of protection, each professionally installed following meticulous surface preparation.
Pro+
Professional ceramic protection, without unnecessary complexity.
Pro+ provides up to 6 years of durable, hydrophobic protection that enhances gloss and makes regular maintenance easier.
An excellent choice for owners looking for the everyday benefits of a professionally installed ceramic coating.
Max G+
Exceptional gloss, slickness and surface hardness.
Max G+ delivers an exceptionally hard, thick and slick protective finish, with outstanding hydrophobic properties.
Designed to enhance gloss and depth of colour, it produces a rich, highly reflective finish. Its additional hardness and coating thickness make Max G+ our minimum recommendation for darker paint colours, where maintaining the finish is particularly important.
Phantom 2K
Advanced two-component coating technology.
Phantom 2K uses a specialised two-part formulation, combining a ceramic coating with an activator prior to application.
Delivering an incredibly slick finish and exceptional hydrophobic properties, Phantom 2K represents the premium tier of our range, designed for owners seeking our most advanced ceramic coating option.
The Studio Lumina Approach.
Exceptional ceramic protection begins long before the coating is applied. At Studio Lumina, we believe that careful preparation, precise application and attention to the smallest details are what distinguish a truly professional result.
Meticulous Paint Preparation
Every vehicle undergoes thorough cleaning and decontamination, followed by machine polishing tailored to the condition of the paintwork. This ensures the surface is properly prepared before protection is applied.
Precision Coating Application
Each coating is carefully applied with close attention to coverage, levelling and finish. Working on one vehicle at a time allows us to give every installation the attention it deserves.
Curing & Final Inspection
Following installation, the coating is given the appropriate curing time in a controlled environment. Every vehicle receives a detailed final inspection before collection.
Ceramic Coating FAQs.
Everything you need to know about ceramic protection, maintenance and what to expect from a professional installation.
What does a ceramic coating actually do?
A ceramic coating creates a durable protective layer over your vehicle's exterior surfaces. It enhances gloss, provides hydrophobic properties and helps reduce the adhesion of dirt and environmental contaminants, making regular maintenance easier.
Will ceramic coating prevent scratches and stone chips?
Ceramic coatings provide chemical resistance and can help reduce very light surface marring, but they do not prevent stone chips or deeper scratches. For physical impact protection, we recommend Paint Protection Film .
How long does a ceramic coating last?
Longevity depends on the coating selected, vehicle usage and ongoing maintenance. Our System X range offers different levels of long-term protection, and we'll explain the expected lifespan and warranty conditions for your chosen coating before installation.
Does my vehicle need paint correction first?
Every vehicle receives appropriate surface preparation before coating. Machine polishing is included in our installation process, with the level of correction tailored to the condition of your paintwork and the finish you're looking to achieve.
Can a ceramic coating be applied to a new car?
Absolutely. New vehicles can benefit greatly from ceramic protection, although even factory-fresh paintwork may require decontamination and light polishing before application. We assess each vehicle individually to ensure the best possible finish.
How should I maintain my ceramic coating?
Regular washing using suitable automotive products and safe wash techniques is essential. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods and automatic brush car washes. We'll provide guidance on appropriate maintenance and initial curing precautions when you collect your vehicle.
