| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | ||||
| Description of the Company. We were originally incorporated on March 12, 1990 in California (“Ecology-CA”). Our current entity was incorporated in Nevada on February 6, 2002 as OCIS Corp. (“OCIS”). OCIS completed a merger with Ecology-CA on July 26, 2007 (the “Merger”). In the Merger, OCIS changed its name from OCIS Corporation to Ecology Coatings, Inc. The Company filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection on May 15, 2013 and subsequently emerged on September 19, 2014 with all liabilities settled and the corporate shell as its only asset. The September 19, 2014 date will be 'fresh start" date used to reset the financial statements in subsequent filings. Any business description below is of the operating results reported in this filing which no longer apply to our Company. | |||||
| Reclassifications. Reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform with the current year presentation. | |||||
| Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include all of our accounts and the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiary Ecology-CA. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |||||
| Basis of Preparation. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars. | |||||
| Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||||
| Revenue Recognition. The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, (iii) collectability is reasonably assured and (iv) goods have been shipped and/or services rendered. | |||||
| Loss Per Share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of convertible debt and convertible preferred stock. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the weighted average number of shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. None of the stock options or warrants outstanding or stock associated with the convertible debt or with the convertible preferred shares during each of the periods presented was included in the computation of diluted loss per share as they were anti-dilutive. | |||||
| Property and Equipment. Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the following useful lives: | |||||
| Computer equipment | 3-10 years | ||||
| Furniture and fixtures | 3-7 years | ||||
| Test equipment | 5-7 years | ||||
| Signs | 7 years | ||||
| Software | 3 years | ||||
| Marketing and Promotional Video | 3 years | ||||
| Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized as incurred. | |||||
| Patents. It is our policy to capitalize costs associated with securing a patent. Costs consist of legal and filing fees. Once a patent is issued, it will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. | |||||
| Long-Lived Assets. We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. | |||||
| Recent Accounting Pronouncements. We have reviewed all Accounting Standards Updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board since we last issued financial statements and have determined none of them would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. | |||||

| Going Concern | Note 8 — Going Concern |
| The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we incurred net losses. We had working capital deficits and negative cash flows. On May 15, 2013 with no other options, the Company filed under chapter 7 for bankruptcy protection. Chapter 7 allowed the Company's corporate shell to subsequently emerge as its only asset on September 19, 2014 with all liabilities settled. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. |

| The Company filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy protection with the United States Bankruptcy court on May 15, 2013. On September 10, 2014 the company settled all debts in excess of assets and the corporate shell as the only unencumbered asset. |
