Why this coverage
WHY FULL FRONT PPF + CERAMIC COATING FITS THE TESLA MODEL 3
Tesla paint is thin and soft, and the Model 3's low front bumper takes chips from the first week on the Toll Road. Full front covers the hood, bumper, fenders, mirrors, and headlights, and the pattern is cut around the front camera and the ultrasonic sensor locations so Autopilot and parking assist are unaffected. The self-healing top coat is a real benefit on a Model 3 because the soft paint swirls from any brush wash. The ceramic coating over the film and the rest of the car makes it easy to keep clean without a dealer wash, and it adds gloss that Tesla paint lacks from the factory.
HOW THE INSTALL WENT
The car came in straight from a Route 28 commute, so the day started with a two-bucket wash, iron remover on the lower bumper, and a clay bar over every front panel. Tesla paint marks easily, so the panels were inspected under the lights and a light polish took out the dealer swirls before anything was covered. The STEK patterns for the Model 3 were cut on the plotter, then the hood edge, fender tops, and headlights were wrapped by hand so no edge shows. After the film set, the coating went on the film and the rest of the body, cured overnight indoors, and the owner walked every panel with us before paying the balance.
- 01Two-bucket wash, iron decontamination, and clay bar so nothing is trapped under the film.
- 02Computer-cut STEK patterns for the Tesla Model 3, with edges wrapped or tucked where the panel allows so there is no visible edge.
- 03Wet install, squeegee-out, and a heat set on every edge so the film stays put through Virginia summers and car washes.
- 04Panel wipe and ceramic coating applied to the film and the paint, then cured indoors before the car goes home.
- 05Final inspection under our lights, aftercare walkthrough, and warranty registration.
Questions
TESLA MODEL 3 FAQ
No. The film is cut around the front camera housing and the sensor positions in the bumper. Nothing painted over a sensor, nothing covering a lens.
