Paint correction & ceramic coating · Stuttgart
Blackline is a two-bay detailing studio that treats paint like optics: measured, corrected under proper light, and sealed in ceramic. We do four cars a week, slowly, and photograph every panel before and after because the paint doesn't lie.
The process
Every car goes through the same sequence, whatever it costs new. The paint doesn't know the price; neither do we.
Two hours of washing that looks obsessive because it is — iron fallout, tar, old wax. Correction over dirt just polishes the dirt in.
Paint-depth readings on every panel and swirls mapped under the arc lights. You get the report before we touch a polisher — and the honest option to stop here.
Machine polishing, panel by panel, until the arc lights stop finding scratches to show us. This is most of the hours and all of the difference.
Coating applied in a dust-controlled bay, then 48 hours of cure time during which nobody — including you — touches the car. Especially you.
The proof
We photograph at the distance most detailers avoid. Filter by what you're looking at.
Studio numbers
The arc light doesn't flatter anyone. That's why we own six.
Packages
Every package starts with the inspection and the honest report. Sometimes the honest report says you only need the first one.
€290 one day
Full decontamination, machine-applied sealant, and the interior brought back to collection-day.
€890 two to three days
The Reset plus full paint correction — the swirls, the holograms, the parking scars, gone under arc light.
€1,450 four days + cure
Everything above, sealed under certified 9H ceramic with a five-year maintenance plan.
Owners
They talked me DOWN from the ceramic because my lease ends next year. A detailer who subtracts from his own invoice — I've told the entire owners' club.
The before/after photos of my bonnet genuinely upset me. The after photos fixed it. Ten years of bad washing, erased in three days.
I asked to watch. Four hours later I understood why it costs what it costs and why my driveway wash was the villain all along.
The studio
The studio runs on bookings only — no drop-ins, no while-you-wait, because correction doesn't happen while anyone waits. Your car gets a bay, a checklist and one detailer from start to finish.
Collection day ends with twenty minutes under the lights with the before photos. Bring sunglasses; owners keep making the same joke, and we keep letting them.
Start
Forty minutes under the arc lights with the paint-depth gauge and an honest conversation about what your paint actually needs.
