Im in the detailing business and we see that variation in color all the time. the problem is rather scientific about how paint dries on Plastic parts vs. metal parts. It has something to do with drying time and evaporation and that's enough said. Lighter metallic paints show it more, but it...

Greetings, think of buying and installing the kits like this- I can buy the same golf club Tiger Woods uses, but it does not guarantee I will play like him. Buying the pre designed kits is possible and its tempting on Ebay, but keep the Tiger woods analogy in mind. Most of the work and skill...

I agree with Sportsick. ceramic paint coatings cant stop rock chips. Its awesome for protecting paint from chemicals-acidity, salt and tree sap. The Clear bra is for rock chips. The best bang for your buck, for a daily commuter usage, is the at least cover the bumper. If your commute to...

All you folks have legit reasons for forgoing the film. However, consider just getting the bumper protected and not going crazy with a full wrap job. 90% of all the road debris damage will be to the bumper. Its not a Model X, or S. ($100K car). I think most Tesla 3 owners are going to use...

We put together this instructional video for all Tesla X owners thinking of transforming their paint job. In this video we did a black paint job and an obsidian black. I think the dark colored cars take on a unique look, and certainly different rims and a black out treatment of the chrome adds...

See a transformation from shiny to matte. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Matte look is a nice option.

Glad you had such a great experience. We put together a new shop video for Tesla owners that are considering going with the Matte finsh vs the clear paint protection film. Your Tesla X has a starring role.

I don't actually think the product is rigorously tested on cars that really need the kind of protection the product is suppose to hold up against. Lets face facts, most of the guys that are in the market for this coating have 'garage princesses' and their car always looks great. Is that because...

Thats right-'the Fuzz. I see you didnt tint the front roll ups which means to me that you are a law abiding citizen, or your night time visibility is bad. We are back to form over function. Although, without that front license plate, you are still breaking the law. You may want to find...

Excellent question. For experimental purposes, I put them on me wifes Sienna van and she did notice the difference at night..(See photo below: Driver side has the LAMINEX on it. See how shiney the passenger headamp is..yuk. I took off the passenger side because it was the next shade darker...

One styling suggestion left, apply a light headlight tint to tone down the headlights just a hair. A company called LAMINEX makes the material. Xpel makes the same headlight covers, but it is too dark. Gunsmoke is the color. They make one lighter than that. Technically illegal, but hey, so...

Try www.YELP.com in San Francisco area. You should get a good list of reviewed technicians in your area. An experienced PDR guy will know how to remove the dent on aluminum panels. You can probably find guys who have worked on Teslas and will be familiar with what he/she has to do. Let them...

Sorry I didn't read the part about the paint protection film. The tool demonstrated will leave an impression in the film from the surface bars and the suction of the glue puller.. Secondly, the glue puller technique will lift the paint protection off the paint, thereby damaging the whole kit...

After you get the stroller for the Frunk, consider putting the Paint Protection film on the rear bumper in case you or your wife are struggling to get accessories in and out. Igloos or picnic baskets, or the accessory bags. Maybe a dog is next. By applying the film in that area you can save a...
