This 1968 Ford Mustang GT came to Ixexotics in Velocity Blue for a protection-focused transformation designed to preserve the finish, elevate gloss, and help this classic stay cleaner and better protected on the road. For this project, our team performed full-body custom XPEL Paint Protection Film, paint correction, and ceramic coating to create a cleaner, sharper, and more durable finish worthy of an iconic American muscle car.
Classic cars deserve real-world defense, especially when they are driven and enjoyed. On this Mustang GT, IX Exotics installed full-body custom XPEL Paint Protection Film to help shield the exterior from rock chips, road debris, bug splatter, scratches, and daily wear. IX Exotics describes XPEL PPF as an invisible, high-performance barrier engineered for durability, clarity, and long-term paint preservation, making it a strong fit for protecting both exotic and classic vehicles in the Cypress and Houston area.

Before protection is applied, the finish has to be properly refined. This Mustang received a full paint correction to deep clean the painted surfaces, reduce scratches and swirl marks, and create the mirror-like finish noted on the gallery page. That correction step is essential for classic and collector vehicles because it improves clarity and ensures the final protected finish looks as crisp, rich, and reflective as possible.

To complete the package, IX Exotics applied ceramic coating to add hydrophobic performance and help defend the surface against environmental exposure. The gallery page specifically highlights the coating’s ability to help keep the vehicle cleaner for weeks at a time while protecting against environmental factors. Across the company website, IX Exotics also emphasizes ceramic coating as a premium surface protection service for multiple vehicle surfaces, with added benefits that support easier cleaning and enhanced finish appearance.
IX Exotics positions itself as a licensed, insured, and certified vehicle protection and customization shop serving Cypress and the greater Houston market. The company highlights expertise in paint protection film, ceramic coating, window tint, paint services, customization, and specialty vehicle care, with a focus on high-end, exotic, performance, and restoration-minded projects. That broad capability matters for a classic Mustang because it means the same shop can refine paint, install premium protection, and support long-term preservation under one roof.
A classic Mustang should turn heads, but it should also be protected like a true investment. By combining XPEL PPF, paint correction, and ceramic coating, this 1968 Ford Mustang GT now benefits from a stronger defense against chips, swirls, contaminants, and weathering while maintaining the deep gloss and body lines that make vintage muscle cars so memorable.
