I have completely wrapped my Tesla Model Y with DIY PPF from @DriveProtected and this time, I went with the Stealth wrap. The Stealth PPF, or sometimes referred to as Matte PPF, is the same 8 mil thick PPF that functions much the same, but it adds a matte finish to give a unique look to your Tesla.
I completely wrapped my Model Y in clear PPF fro Drive Protected Shop 2 years ago, and after having hit a few things along the way, it more than paid for itself in protecting the paint from damage. To change the look of my Model Y with this new Matte Stealth PPF, I first have to remove the clear PPF that is on the car. To do this, work slow and smooth and pull the film away fro the car in a "backwards" direction. So if you are removing the film from the right side of a panel working your way left, you would pull the film toward the right at a 45 degree angle to prevent adhesive from being left behind on the paint.
Once you have removed any film you may have on the car, you need to wash (clay bar if necessary) using dawn dish soap. Do not use a car wash soap that you may have as most leave a film behind that we do not want on the paint before applying the PPF. Once that is complete, you can start working on installing the PPF.
You can order the front bumper in 2 ways, a single piece or a multi piece. I highly recommend going with the multi piece front bumper as it not only makes the install easier, but takes less than half the time to install. When using this cut of bumper, make sure you line up the edges of each piece before fully securing the film to the paint.
The 8 mil thick PPF from Drive Protected Shop, both clear and matte, are extremely forgiving and allow you ample time to adjust, remove and reapply before curing. The film is also forgiving in the stretching it does as it can return to close to its original size within reason. So overstretching can happen, but this film is pretty good at not being over stretched.
This Stealth film kit, just like the clear kit, features a self healing surface. What that means is if you were to get light scratches on the surface of the PPF, after sitting in the warm sun for a couple hours, the surface will self heal and the scratches will disappear. This works pretty well and even 2 years later, our clear film was still able to self heal in the sun.
If you are not interested in PPF wrapping the entire car, be it a Model Y or a Model 3, you can also just do the front end. Drive Protected Shop offers 3 front end kits. The most protection includes mirrors, bumper, fenders, hood and a-pillars. The next level, for a bit less money, offers the same but without the A-Pillars. And then finally there is a partial front end that includes the mirrors, front bumper, partial hood and partial fenders. All 3 of these kits are effective at protecting the front end of the car from standard road debris you face on highways.
