Tesla Model S Paint Protection

Tesla Model S Paint Protection in Melbourne

The Model S is still the flagship: a big fast sedan with a low nose that sits right in the stone spray on the Monash. Repainting one properly costs serious money and shows up on any inspection report, which is why film pays for itself at resale. Liquid R films and coats Teslas every week at our Mitcham workshop. Call 1800 985 880 or text 0483 930 888 to book your Model S in. You will find the same detail for Ferrari and the BMW M cars.

Full Front PPF

The Model S nose sits low and cops the full stone spray on the freeway. Self-healing film across the bonnet, bumper, guards and mirrors takes the hits, with precut patterns for both pre and post facelift cars. Allow about two days. We have written the same guidance for Mercedes and Audi.

Full Body Clear PPF

Flagship money deserves full cover. Every painted panel gets wrapped in or STEK film backed by a ten year warranty against yellowing and cracking, so the whole car reads as factory paint at resale time. Booked in for about a week. The same detail is written up for Toyota.

Gtechniq Ceramic Coating

A car this size is no fun to hand dry. Gtechniq ceramic coating makes the paint hydrophobic, so road film rinses off and water sheets away with a blower instead of a chamois marathon. It also resists bird droppings and bug acid.

Resale Is A Condition Game

Used Model S buyers are a fussy bunch: the cars are cheap enough to shop hard and expensive enough to inspect properly. A chipped nose and swirled flanks knock real dollars off. Film and coating keep the inspection short.

Glass Roof Film

The fixed glass roof looks great and cooks the cabin in January. Defcon Crystal Shield film cuts heat and UV coming through the glass, which means less aircon draw and a bit more range on hot days.

Metal Free Window Tint

Defcon tint is fully metal free, so the phone key and cabin electronics carry on as normal. It knocks down glare and interior heat, and the CoolVue upgrade goes harder again on infrared rejection.

Wear And Tear Pack

Film on the door edges, door cups, sill tops and boot ledge. These are the spots a daily driven Model S actually marks first, and the pack costs less than repainting a single door edge.

New Car Protection Package

Fresh delivery from the Richmond store? Our new car protection package layers film, coating and interior protection in one visit of three to four days, so the car is defended before Melbourne gets a go at it.

All Four Teslas Covered

Model S work sits alongside 3, X and Y in the workshop most weeks. Start with our Tesla paint protection overview if you are comparing packages, or drop in: Mitcham station is a five minute walk on the Belgrave and Lilydale lines. We have written the same guidance for supercar protection and the Porsche 911.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers before you book. Anything else, call 1800 985 880.

Is Tesla paint as soft as people say?

The clear coat is on the thin side and it does mark more readily than most German rivals. That is not a reason to panic, it is a reason to film the panels that face traffic.

Will film interfere with Autopilot cameras or sensors?

No. Camera housings and sensor windows are left uncovered, and the film itself sits only on paint. Tint is metal free too, so nothing on the glass blocks a signal.

Can you film around the flush door handles?

Yes. Handles are removed or wrapped with edges tucked, depending on the panel, so there are no raw film lines around the openings. It is fiddly work, which is exactly why patterns and patience matter.

How long will my Model S be off the road?

A full front is about two days, a full body wrap about a week and the new car package three to four days. We confirm timing when you book.

Does PPF affect the Tesla warranty?

No. Film bonds to the clear coat and comes off clean without damaging factory paint, so nothing about the vehicle warranty changes. Ours adds a ten year film warranty on top.
