Complete Tesla wrap guide. Color change options, PPF combinations, and special considerations for wrapping Teslas.
Tesla Wrap Guide
Tesla offers few colors—wraps offer endless options. Model 3, Y, S, and X owners increasingly choose wraps for personalization and protection.
Why Wrap a Tesla?
Limited Factory Colors
Tesla currently offers only 5 standard colors. Wraps unlock:
- Any color imaginable
- Unique finishes (matte, satin)
- Color-shifting options
- Custom designs
Paint Protection
Tesla paint is notoriously soft:
- Wraps protect from rock chips
- UV protection built-in
- Easier to repair than paint
- Removable for resale
Resale Value
- Remove wrap to reveal pristine paint
- Buyers prefer protected vehicles
- No permanent modification
Tesla-Specific Considerations
Panel Gaps
Tesla panel gaps vary:
- More complex installation
- Extra time needed
- Experienced installers important
Sensors & Cameras
Modern Teslas have many sensors:
- Cameras must remain clear
- Ultrasonic sensors need gaps
- Autopilot functionality preserved
Door Handle Challenges
Flush door handles require:
- Careful wrapping technique
- Proper edge sealing
- May need handle removal
