A few different ways to get a chrome delete on a Tesla, one of them being plasti-dip. It’s a cheap, affordable option but there’s some things to know about it beforehand for everyone thinking about using this method. It place and benefits as long as you know what to expect.

 
Starting to make more matte/satin white 3's lately! Here’s another project we just completed with Satin Guard ppf, lowering springs, chrome delete, and 21” Vorsteiner VFF-109 wheels. The satin effect is really subtle on the white which is nice, especially for a car that’s driven daily. It’s unique enough to make you think there’s something special about that paint without being over the top.

Can't go wrong with black on black on black! Here's a black 3 with a chrome delete and upgraded Vossen HF-5 wheels in gloss black. Disregard the center caps as we upgraded these to the optional sport billet ones which will come in soon!
 
Got a few Tesla projects this week! Another blacked out (chrome deleted) 3 finished, another Vorsteiner Volta rear spoiler installation on a white 3, and we hardwired a radar for a Y for a much cleaner look on the front windshield.

Some more visual ideas for you, especially 3 owners. Quickest way to make your Tesla look sportier is add a chrome delete and dark color wheels. Here's a 3 with a chrome delete and Vorsteiner wheels to give you an idea how just these 2 things alone can change the way your car looks.
 
Here's a quick clip of a red 3 we finished chrome deleting in satin black. Looks way better with the factory 18's since those are a dark color. For the center console, we switched it up and chose a BRUSHED black finish. I highly recommend the brushed black for the center console because it hides fingerprints way better, looks more sophisticated, and really ups the luxury feel of the interior.
 
Here’s a quick look at a Model 3 with a chrome delete done. A little different with this one—instead of wrapping the fender badges, we installed some matte carbon fiber covers on it, which turned out really nice. Still gets the chrome delete job done, but with a little more oomph!

 
Something a little different! We tinted the head lights and tail lights on this 3 to blend it in a little more with the black. It’s all part of a bigger project we’re doing with this car, but wanted to share in case some of you had this idea and wanted to see.

 
A fun little Model S project we finished—satin black chrome delete with red accents on the logos, and painted calipers to match. Painting the calipers is a nice way to add an accent color to your Tesla without being over the top. Whatever color you decide, just make sure the painter isn’t using home depot spray paint and is actually giving you high quality paint to ensure a long lasting result.

There's been a rise of interest in Teslas wanting matte/satin color changes to their cars, so here's a quick vid of a white 3 with Satin Guard, which turns the factory white, into this beautiful satin translucent finish. Topped off with a chrome delete and Vorsteiner wheels for a unique look.

 
How durable is clearbra? In this new vlog, we replace the clearbra on the doors of a X that got damaged from the garage door, and you’ll see what damage went through and what got absorbed. We also chrome delete another 3, making it look very stormtrooper-ish.

This is the best vinyl film I've ever seen.

Its clarity is unreal--it looks like paint. I show a quick comparison between the new vinyl and a more common vinyl in the market and you can see even in the camera the clarity difference. It's smooth and glossy. It's like liquid.

Anyone wanting to wrap his/her Tesla needs to check this out. We tested it out on our Rolls Royce and it's mind blowing how good it looks. We can't wait to wrap a Tesla.
