Tesla Car Wrapping
Tesla Vehicles has a known paint issue
Tesla owners in Canada, Finland, and some other cold-weather markets discovered soon that vehicles from the company could present serious paint problems. So far, they had only been noticed in cars made in Fremont. Giga Shanghai apparently did a better job with its paint shop. Unfortunately, that was not the case, and the first cases involving vehicles made in China are starting to pop up.

Tesla does many things right—but their paint isn’t at the top of that list. From our personal experience, We’ve known Tesla owners who report that the paint chips and pits easily and that micro-scratches especially on dark-colored cars can cause the paint to look grayish or milky. We’ve seen these issues on Teslas with only a few hundred KMs on them. We’ve also seen that the paint on Teslas chips on obvious areas such as the bumper and the hood, but also in front of the rear wheels. Tesla has addressed this with a cold weather kit, which is essentially mud flaps and a PPF film. Tesla owners who drive in places with tough winters where they use salt and sand on the road (Quebec and Montreal, anyone?) report that the paint on the bottom of their Teslas degrades heartbreakingly fast.
Like many new cars, the paint on new Teslas can be thin. Thinner paints look better when new, and they’re also quicker and cheaper for manufacturers to apply. As a car enthusiate who has been in the automotive industry long enough, We know that the paint application step is always the limiting factor in building cars. So, the more vehicles you can paint per day, the more vehicles you can build per day. If you can hasten the paint application, you can get that assembly line moving faster!
Another factor contributing to poor wear of Tesla paint is the geometry of the vehicle. They have a flat plane that pushes the air up and over the car, grabbing rocks and debris, dragging them over the plane, and creating unsightly paint chips. With today’s patience-challenged drivers all around you, careening past you on road shoulders and kicking stones up onto your Tesla, your vehicle is at greater risk for paint chips now more than ever.

The solution is to get your Tesla Wrapped
Fortunately, you can protect your Tesla’s paint effectively and efficiently—by getting your tesla fully wrapped.
Why should I get my Tesla Wrapped?
Vinyl Wraps makes sense on any new vehicle. Tesla owners are smarter and investing more money than the average car buyer. Wraps will protect your Tesla’s OEM paint—and protect your investment.
Teslas might go from 0 to 60 in 2 seconds, but you’re not outrunning stones being kicked at you by other vehicles. With today’s erratic drivers all around you, there’s a good chance that stones will be kicked up onto your Tesla, putting it at risk for paint chips and other damage.
Wrapping your Tesla saves you from future repaintings, which cost money and time and diminish your Tesla’s value.
When should I get my Tesla Wrapped?
Vinyl Wrap is best applied when a car is brand new. Best-case scenario: Drive your brand-new Tesla straight from the dealership straight to our shop! If you really want to protect your brand new Tesla from any damages to its original paint.
However, you can apply it to a car you’ve been driving awhile. We help customers make this decision on a case-by-case basis. We’ve seen some vehicles with 15,000 Kms that are still a great candidate for getting it wrapped. But you can only protect a new-car finish if you have a new-car finish.
Dont wait too long. Get it wrapped as soon as you can.
We encourage our Tesla owners to make the decision and bring their Tesla to our shop so that we can decide on the color of their wrap. Our qualified team of wrapping experts will do the best job in this industry.

FAQ by customers
Is Vinyl Wrapping a Paint Replacement?
Vinyl wrapping is not a paint replacement but an alternative option to achieving a custom color or effect that may not be possible or cost effective to paint. On top of giving you the ability to completely customize your car, a vinyl vehicle wrap is removable even after many years*, providing protection for the paint underneath*. It is ideal for corporate colors, or for turning your vehicle in to something even more unique.
If your car needs panel and paint work, vinyl wrapping may not be the solution. Wrap vinyl does hide some imperfections in your bodywork, however larger chips, imperfections or cracks will show through the vinyl. The vinyl will only adhere as good as the surface it is adhering to. Rust, rough or flaky paint and poorly executed repairs are not suitable for wrapping long term.
Will It Damage the Paint Underneath?
No, the auto vinyl wrap is designed to protect the paint as it acts as a protective coating for cars. If the 3m vinyl wrap is installed professionally, once your vinyl is removed the paint will be exactly the same as the day the vinyl was installed. * We always recommend having the wrap removed professionally. Do not try to do it yourself.
How Long Does a Car Vinyl Wrap Last?
Our vehicle vinyls are specially designed for conforming, adhering and enduring to all painted surfaces of a vehicle. Provided the care instructions are adhered to, your vinyl wrap should last up to our maximum recommended time outdoors.
Most colors (i.e. Gloss & Satin) = Up to 10 years
Carbon Fibre & Textured = 3-5 years
