What Holden owners should know

There are no new ones left, so the Holden you've kept is worth looking after.

Holden sold its last new cars in 2020, and the Commodore alone sold more than 1.6 million here. The ones still on Gold Coast roads are kept because their owners want them: a Commodore or Ute that's part of the family, a Colorado that still does the work, an SS, HSV or Statesman that only comes out on weekends. Bringing the paint back and protecting it is how you keep it looking the part.

Oxidation and chalking

Clear coat that's been in Queensland sun for a decade goes hazy and then cloudy before it starts to separate. Reds and silvers often show it first. Caught before it separates, it corrects; after that it needs paint, and we'll tell you which you've got.

Resprayed and repaired panels

Most older cars have had at least one panel redone, and repaired paint behaves differently to factory paint under a machine. Fresh paint also has to finish curing before anything is coated over it.

SS, HSV and the weekend Holden

An SS, HSV or Statesman that lives under a cover picks up fine scratches every time the cover goes on and off or a dry cloth goes over it, on top of the swirls from years of washing. Correction takes those out, and a coating means it gets rinsed clean instead of dusted.

Utes and Colorados that still work

A Holden Ute or Colorado that still tows, carts and does beach runs gets mud, salt and sand on it. A coated finish lets that rinse off instead of being scrubbed into ageing paint.

What Holden paint is really like

Every Holden is now at least six years old, and most have spent that time parked outside in Queensland sun. The starting point is usually oxidation, fade and years of wash swirls rather than delivery marks, often with a panel or two that's been resprayed along the way. What the paint has left decides what can be done, so every Holden is measured panel by panel before any machine work.

How the job runs

How We Prep Your Holden Before It’s Coated

A good ceramic coating will lock in whatever is under it (for up to 10 years!). That’s why every Holden gets a full day of preparation before a drop of coating goes on.

Full deep wash

A careful pre-rinse and hand wash, so nothing gritty is dragged across the paint.

Don’t Go With the Dealership

Dealer packages run up to $3,000, and too often you get bad prep, a bad product, or both.

Bad prep

Done in a few hours with no machine polish, so yard swirls get sealed in.

Bad product

An unknown brand, with a warranty that depends on who sold it.

Bad price

Not only will dealerships do a bad job, they’ll charge you through the roof for it.

Our answer: a full day of prep, a named Fireball coating and a price in writing.

Questions Holden Owners Ask

Can’t see yours? Call or text and you’ll get a straight answer.

Is it worth coating an older Holden?

Yes. The machine polish brings the gloss back first, then the coating keeps it there.

What if my paint is already fading or peeling?

We measure it and tell you honestly. Faded, hazy clear coat usually corrects. Clear coat that has started to lift needs a paint shop first, and we’ll say so before you spend anything.

Will it fix swirls and light scratches?

Swirls and light scratches are polished out as part of the package.

How long will my Holden be with you?

Typically one day or overnight. Cars that stay overnight are kept safely in our garage.

How long does it last?

Fireball coatings are backed for up to 10 years on eligible packages.

When can I wash it?

Give it a week, then a gentle pH-neutral wash is all it needs.

Do you do interior protection?

We don’t. We haven’t found an interior product worth the usual charge, so we’d rather you kept the money.

Can you come to me?

All work is done at our Ashmore workshop, and we can give you a courtesy car if you need one. Please ask when booking.

Do you take Afterpay?

Yes.
