About this build

This Tesla Model S came through our Los Angeles studio as an electric platform build — EV-specific spec considerations come into play: glass curvature, charge-port edges, and the way battery heat moves through the cabin all factor into the install plan. Multi-service builds are sequenced deliberately — one finish has to fully cure before the next one goes on top, so the schedule reflects that order.

A full Model S build: colour change vinyl wrap, every piece of chrome deleted to blackout the trim, and the wheels powder-coated to match. This is the package that turns a factory car into a cohesive, finished look.

A ceramic coating over the wrap protects the finish and keeps it easy to clean. See our chrome delete service and more car wrap Los Angeles builds, plus a simpler Model S wrap — Satin Model S.

What we used on this Tesla

3M, Avery Dennison, or KPMF architectural cast vinyl — plotter-cut so every cut line lands inside a factory shut-line. Manufacturer durability is rated by orientation, not as one number: roughly 8 years on vertical panels and far less on the hood and roof, which take the sun straight on. Metallics, pearlescents and textured films rate lower than plain colours.
Professional SiO₂ ceramic coating — 9H surface hardness, hydrophobic, multi-year durability when paired with our prep wash and clay-bar decontamination.
Premium architectural vinyl in matte, satin, or gloss black for chrome delete — plotter-cut piece by piece on every trim, badge, and window surround instead of generic universal kits.

Why these finishes were combined

Tesla builds with several finishes work when each layer is planned in sequence: the wrap delivers the colour and finish, the coating helps the vinyl shed dust and dead bugs between washes; deleting the OEM chrome shifts the visual weight of the car — pairing it with the rest of the build means the trim never looks like an afterthought.

What to expect after the install

Vinyl wrap care: hand-wash with a pH-neutral shampoo, no automated brush carwashes. On a daily driver parked outside in Los Angeles, expect roughly 3–5 years before the finish starts to go; garage-kept and hand-washed, 5–7 is realistic. The hood and roof always fade first — how the car is stored decides more than which film is on it. Metallics, pearls and textured films sit at the lower end of both ranges.
Ceramic coating maintenance: first wash at 7 days, then a regular pH-neutral wash every 2–3 weeks keeps the hydrophobic layer active for the rated lifespan.
Chrome-delete care: hand-wash, no aggressive solvents on the wrapped trim. Re-wraps are one-day jobs if a panel ever needs a refresh.
