@@malekkhelifi5116 yes! You can color wrap then protect or…you can also do the all in one colored ppf. Fairly new but it’s gaining more popularity now.
This was most helpful. Got me to figure out not to do the color change on our Tesla for now but will be buying your interior kits to cover up some surfaces in the cabin. If we do go for it I'll make sure to get you guys' services.
Excellent video Chuck full of good information..no ego, no fake stardom and filler words…..thank you….. you did not say what you thought of the newer ceramic + ppf all in one materials coming or came out since this video…care to share?
We use ppf with the coating but factory coated does not last as long. Usually shops will do a easy upsell and will be a win win for everyone. So I’d recommend coating it if you already ppf-ed the vehicle. Id recommend gtechniq halo, gyeon mohs evo or gyeon ppf for the coating but this is from my experience so ask the shop what they use.
Agree - clearest explanation by far - like a mini-Ted talk, heh. Now all I need is my MY to be delivered so I actually have a car to work with! And too bad I'm in CA or I'd for sure head to your shop - keep up the great vids!
This is such a good video . succinct . Gives us a good idea about these options . Host is great . The video editing is done well too . And to top it all .. you are answering all the questions here . Thank you !
An important thing that no one seems to mention, is the possibility of massive damage to your clear and base coat, when removing "expired"/ old/ over due/ over aged PPF/color vinyl wraps. Every one seems quite hush hush about this.
If you have old PPF, as in the kind that didn't have the technology that was developed in the last 10 or so years, then it's going to be a bit harder to remove and might leave residue. That's the kind that used to yellow and crack when it got old. But nowadays, if you use steam, a heat gun, or even hot water, you can remove much easier with no damage to your paint. PPF has come a long way! Here's our video on removing PPF if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/HTIa8ePn6to/w-d-xo.html
Firstly, awesome informative video. Exactly what I was looking for. I'll be a Model Y owner in a couple of months. I was researching to decide what to get. I've decided to get 'Glossy Burnt Orange' wrap (like the one behind you 😅) and get a ceramic coating on it to keep it glossy. Can I do a combination of that..?
Congrats on your Tesla purchase! Yes, you can absolutely put ceramic coating over a wrap. It will actually help protect the wrap in some ways along with keeping it glossy, so it's a win-win.
Can either technique be removed easily? I am leasing my car. Are the center panel wraps also easy to remove? What do you recommend? Thanks for the informative video!
Steaming is the best way to remove PPF or color but yes, both can be removed safely. Could you specify what you mean by the center panels? Glad it was helpful, Juliet!
Thanks, Pat! It all depends on the shop but typically we charge roughly $6500 for stealth and considering colored PPF cost more than stealth PPF, it'll be higher than that.
A color wrap doesn’t protect your Tesla so if you do drive a lot on highways and want to protect it, then yes I’d ppf it over the vinyl wrap. Ceramic is always the last to go on and I’d recommend Gtechniq Halo for ceramic coating on vinyl. Ceramic coating doesn’t protect from rock chips though. It’s mostly to give it a glossy wet look.
Great video and very well explained. Is it possible to install PPF on top of Vinyl if it's done at the same time? I'm thinking of the situation where a very unique colour isn't available in the choice of coloured PPF.
@@tesbros awesome, thanks for the quick reply. So right now my car has somewhat neglected paintwork. I was thinking to get in wrapped in vinyl (so I can also give it a unique painted look), then PPF it and then get ceramic coating on top. I would look to get all 3 done at the same time and each layer would be doing it's own job. Vinyl = for the colour plus a little bit of protection, PPF = for proper protection and ceramic coat = to help keep it looking clean. Hopefully no problem with that thinking? Or will a hydrophobic PPF affect the ceramic coat application?
It does now! STEK is a trailblazer in this as they have different shades for their headlight PPF and they also have red, purple and black. GSWF is another brand well known into the colored PPF. They have a variety of colors. However, it is still fairly new so the colors may be limited right now.
Yes and no. Ceramic coating is great for reducing micro scratches like swirl marks since it is harder and more durable than your paint. However, it's not scratch proof. A bad car wash can still scratch your ceramic coating. Think of it like a second clear coat. On the other hand, PPF will be fine against swirl marks as it self heals.
Ceramic coating always goes last due to it's hydrophobic coating. If you have this, the vinyl and PPF won't stick very well. So ideally, it would be stripes, PPF, ceramic coating.
$4,000 to $8,000 depending on where you live. What I usually recommend is just doing a front package and rockers that'll be $1,200 to $3,000 and will cover the high impact areas.
We have two white vehicles, and we’re thinking about having them wrap. We’re in our 60’s, all we need is a nice looking white wrap. What would you recommend, and what price range?
Avery (graphics.averydennison.com/content/dam/averydennison/graphics/na/en/documents/sell-sheets-and-brochures/color-guide/na-swf-color-card-en.pdf) and 3M (multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/1713013O/wrap-film-brochure-100-colors.pdf) vinyl is typically what I use, and they have several white options. I'd call wrap shops in your area and get some quotes. Price range is $2k-6k. It's a large range because it will depend on a few things like where you live and what kind of car you have/how big it is.
Which would you add to your car?
can you add Color Change Wraps and PPF in same time ?????
@@malekkhelifi5116 yes! You can color wrap then protect or…you can also do the all in one colored ppf. Fairly new but it’s gaining more popularity now.
@@tesbros but i don`t think colored ppf is available in Tunisia .. probably find a way to import it like find a way to import tesla
@@tesbros gonna get coloured ppf if it’s available in my country. Thanks for the info!
This is by far the best video on explaining everything you need to know about car protection wraps.
It’s such a joyful experience when you listen to a true expert explains his/her craft….really well done mate!

Does ceramic over ppf therefore last longer than just ppf?
Great vid Ty!
Brilliant, thanks!
Excellent video!
Thank you! Cheers!
Do you guys have a shop? If so where is it at? Very informative. Thanks!
Yes, we're located in Chattanooga!

Dope Video! Do you know how much they usually cost to get color PFF done?
Thanks, Pat! It all depends on the shop but typically we charge roughly $6500 for stealth and considering colored PPF cost more than stealth PPF, it'll be higher than that.

If I wrap my tesla, do I need an additional ppf or ceramic coating on top?
A color wrap doesn’t protect your Tesla so if you do drive a lot on highways and want to protect it, then yes I’d ppf it over the vinyl wrap. Ceramic is always the last to go on and I’d recommend Gtechniq Halo for ceramic coating on vinyl. Ceramic coating doesn’t protect from rock chips though. It’s mostly to give it a glossy wet look.
What color is that model 3? It looks gray. ( I like the color)
It’s the silver metallic. No longer available from Tesla.
@@tesbros thanks! If I get a vinyl wrap with ceramic coating with it make the vinyl wrap last longer?
Ceramic coating is the only way to go
Yes sir!
How long will the color change wrap last?
It can last up to 5 years if well taken care of. We typically see 2-3 years for average owners.
Do you guys install wraps? Where are you located and is there a number I can call?
Great video and very well explained. Is it possible to install PPF on top of Vinyl if it's done at the same time? I'm thinking of the situation where a very unique colour isn't available in the choice of coloured PPF.
Absolutely. PPF is perfectly fine to install over vinyl, plus it’ll make your vinyl last much longer

Or will a hydrophobic PPF affect the ceramic coat application?
@@mil3761 no that’s very common. I would also look into colored ppf. Stek and gswf has many colors.
Why can't PPF come in different colors or shades?
It does now! STEK is a trailblazer in this as they have different shades for their headlight PPF and they also have red, purple and black. GSWF is another brand well known into the colored PPF. They have a variety of colors. However, it is still fairly new so the colors may be limited right now.
@@tesbros thank you!
i hate light scratch and swirl mark. So what should I choose? color wrap or ppf ?
PPF if your only concern is protection. If you want to change the color, go with a color wrap and maybe even throw some PPF on top!
Do i need to apply ceramic coating before install ppf?
No, ceramic coating should always be last. PPF first, ceramic on top! The reason for this is because PPF doesn't adhere to ceramic coatings.
Will ceramic coating help from damaging swirl marks?
Yes and no. Ceramic coating is great for reducing micro scratches like swirl marks since it is harder and more durable than your paint. However, it's not scratch proof. A bad car wash can still scratch your ceramic coating. Think of it like a second clear coat. On the other hand, PPF will be fine against swirl marks as it self heals.
I'm was searching what type of ceramic coating to apply on PPF (Xpel), and come across your video. What do you recommend?
We use Gyeon in our shop! Highly recommend gyeonusa.com/products/q-ppf
@@tesbros But say I only PPF’d the front of the car. Can I still use Gyeon to protect the rest of it with ceramic coating?
I want to put stripes on my car. What goes first decals, ppf or ceramic coating?
Ceramic coating always goes last due to it's hydrophobic coating. If you have this, the vinyl and PPF won't stick very well. So ideally, it would be stripes, PPF, ceramic coating.
Keying ... LOL bro knows what's going on
😂
Great video. Mic needs to be exposed and clear to reduce muffled audio.
First I need a Tesla.
Hi guys great video, what’s a typical cost of PPF for a full car wrap? (Model Y)
$4,000 to $8,000 depending on where you live. What I usually recommend is just doing a front package and rockers that'll be $1,200 to $3,000 and will cover the high impact areas.
@@tesbros thank you for answering and your recommendation this is really helpful
Ceramic under or over the PPF?
Ceramic coating over PPF
First
Second.
Bird poop...bad 💩
Very bad
