Shop recommendations?? North Jersey

4NAUSET · Nov 16, 2025

First thing on the to do is fluid film undercoating - looks like closest krown authorized dealer is deep PA... so sticking with Fluid Film which has a few options closer by.

Otherwise, tire upgrades (back and forth on moving down to a 17" wheel with more aggressive offset) and raptor lights. Maybe down the road throw on a roof rack and color match the fenders.

All that said - any suggestions? Looks like Line-X in Monmouth does Fluid Film, and OK4wd way west on 78 keeps coming up as a great shop for everything else.

Appreciate any insight.

Did you ever find a place? Would love for any recommendations. In north NJ but can drive.

GSD Coatings in Keyport does fluidfilm but personally I think woolwax is better. thicker and holds up better and doesn't smell, but is still a lanolin that creeps. I got mine done at a place in staten island that I don't recommend.

(I found all kinds of dry spots and they had the right attitude and tried to make it up but I still had to be the one to find every spot and point at it. Anything I missed, just got missed. They should have gotten a few examples from me to show that there is actually a problem and then taken over from there and got everything methodically the way they should have in the first place.)

I haven't had fluidfilm done at GSD, but I have used them to cerakote an intercooler a few years ago and to have my new NYTOP bumper stripped and re-powdercoated just last week, and both jobs were perfect.
