The long way round to a better coating.

Our developers have been working in coating science since 2012. We had coatings that outperformed the competition at the time. Then ceramic coatings and stronger sealants arrived, and staying ahead meant being much better rather than slightly better.

So we started again. A completely new direction, and a long search for the materials to build a new coating system out of. In 2016 that work produced the first ICON Rocklear prototype.

Field testing was commissioned immediately, on more than 100 vehicles, in one of the most climate varied places on earth. Temperatures there run from -72°F to 113°F, and the roads throw gravel, ice, sleet, heavy rain and intense UV at a finish all year.

Result ICON Rocklear protected in those conditions without a single failure. Accelerated lab testing followed and confirmed what the field had already shown.

How Florida opens.

ICON Rocklear is coming to Florida one certified shop at a time. Each area gets one shop, every shop works to the same standard, and the same team stands behind all of them.

Each shop is trained and certified on the coating before it is allowed to apply it, and certified again as the formulation moves on. That is how the finish stays the same wherever you book it.

Behind the shops sits the ICON team: technical support, warranty administration, and the people who answer when you have a question years after the install.

Who we partner with.

We only partner with AAA shops, and we place one in each area. Before any partnership we do a proper assessment of the shop, the team and the market, and we say no more often than we say yes.

The shops that make it in become part of the ICON family. If you run a shop in Florida and want to know how carrying ICON works, start here.

Same coating, same certification standard and same warranty as every certified ICON shop.

The standard every shop is held to

STD / 01

Trained and certified

Every technician goes through ICON training before a shop is allowed to apply the coating, and goes through it again when the formulation moves on.

STD-01

One controlled process

Paint preparation and application is a seven part process, carried out in a contaminant, temperature and humidity controlled environment. That control is what makes it last.

STD-02

Cover that travels

15-year automotive warranty and seven years on marine gelcoat, plus lifetime workmanship from the shop that applied it, anywhere in the world.

STD-03

Put it on your own paint.

Tell us the vehicle and the city. When a certified installer opens near you, you hear first.
