Rear Spoiler Ceramic Coating Issue?

[UngaBunga1989]

As the rear spoilers for the M3P finally seem to be shipping (at least in California right now), I am wondering if I will need to have the SC do anything differently because I had my car ceramic coated? Input appreciated!

I was under the impression that the area coated with ceramic coat will need to be cleared of the coating. Best to ask the person that coated your car for you.

I don't think Tesla will do any extra prep other than wipe the area down with alcohol pad and then just stick the spoiler on.

The spoiler should have no problems with adhesion on top of PPF or coatings. The double sided tape used for mounting is able to withstand strong wind forces, so there is no need for any special prep aside from application to a clean/debris free surface.

You'll have no issue with PPF, but you will most likely have an issue with the Ceramic coating. It may stick for a little while, but it will most likely come off prematurely because the coating is doing it's job.

Good topic. So what is the suggested method to remove the coating in the area where the spoiler/badge will be applied? And do you suggest coating the spoiler too?

My expert says that the spoiler will stick to the cQuartz on my P3D+--no prep required.
