Thank you. We're glad you enjoyed it! That would have been a nice touch for sure

Thank you! Great color choice

Hi Aaron, and thank you for your feedback. TPU-based windshield films are softer by nature to absorb impacts and protect your windshield. As a result, the film can scratch easily with regular wiper usage. For that reason, our windshield films are best suited for track and off-road usage and not for daily driven vehicles.

Warranty length..... aaaaand I dunno. lol

Great question! Our FORCEseries PPF's use a different TPU than the DYNOseries, which has less longevity than our DYNOseries.

Heat rejection is measured by the Total Solar Energy Rejection (TSER) and varies by the VLT of the film. NEX offers up to 64% TSER in the NEX 05, which has a VLT of 7%. You can find more info on the full NEXseries in the chart here: www.stek-usa.com/window-tint/nexseries/

Hi Cathit! We left a more detailed reply in our other response, in short wood would be a difficult surface due to its texture and porous nature, but if it is extremely smooth and depending on the paint used it may be possible. We recommend reaching out to a local installer to show them the surface in question and get their expertise. Thank you for watching our videos. :)

Great question! Painted wood tends to have a high texture and is very porous so the adhesion may be difficult. The smoother the surface the better. We would recommend talking with a local STEK installer and showing them the surface you're looking to have protected, and they should be able to help provide additional insight!

A full body color change typically costs $8500-$12500, but prices for Teslas may be slightly less. For a more exact quote on your vehicle, we suggest you contact an installer in your area.

We're not saying our PPF is magic, but that bumper was looking mighty fan after a serious impact 😏

It was tough to watch, but we know he'll come back even harder!

Thanks for watching!

@@NATECHEN right back at ya! Always a pleasure to watch you drive. We’re counting down until Utah!

We couldn't either. Fortunately, our Paint Protection Films use highly advanced technologies to protect and stylize your car for years to come.

@@stekusa protect the paint for the next owner. Got it.

Thank you, we couldn't agree more!

It was great chatting with you and thank you for taking the time to watch the video!

We couldn't agree more, and we're thrilled to be a part of his journey this season!

DYNOgray is inspired by the concrete grey color popularized by many European manufacturers. It's pretty close to Nardo Gray. However, we'd suggest asking a local installer to see a sample to ensure it's to your liking.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you! As for the gap you mentioned, if you're referring to the gap seen at 3:21, the installer is shrinking the film on the outside of the vehicle before installing it, so the film is not in its final position. If you're referring to the slight gap seen later in the video at 4:16, unless the film has been filed and shaved the industry standard is to leave a minimal gap so that the film doesn’t catch on anything and peel.

@@stekusa it's the gap you refer to as industry standard. When installing a dark film that gap is quite noticeable and not attractive. My installer I have used for 5+ cars says that proper technique used can be gapless and not have any peeling issues. All my cars are installed gapless and have never peeled even after 10 years.

With black gaskets behind the glass, the gap is generally not noticeable or, in some cases, even visible. As you mentioned, it is possible to install edge to edge; once installed on the glass, the installer needs to file and shave the film. Both install techniques are widely used and accepted in the industry. We always suggest discussing install preferences with your installer to make sure the end result is to your liking.

@@stekusa Agree, I'd say with the black gaskets and window all the way up, the gap is never visible. When the windows are rolled down however that gap is not too attractive. My first car I had tinted had this gap and some people commented it looked terrible but the installer I used insisted it was done for longevity reasons which I now know is not true and more likely my installer didn't have the skill to do so. There doesn't seem to be any consumer advantage from having the gap as a proper gapless install has no impact to catch on anything and peel. I guess it might be easier and less time consuming for an installer though so greater turnover and greater profits.

PPF is an advanced thermoplastic polyurethane that takes countless hours and, in many cases, years of practice to install at a high-quality level that many consider an art form. Film technology and manufacturing processes have continually improved since PPF was first introduced. We strive to improve our products and lead the industry in innovation. For example, ceramic coatings are a relatively new form of protection in the detailing world. As ceramic protection became popular, we sought to incorporate the technology into our film, eventually introducing our ceramic-infused top coat. Modern-day PPF is nearly invisible when installed properly and incorporates a lot of new technology, like ceramic coatings, that help the film's durability and longevity so that the investment can stay looking good for up to 10 years. We understand it's not for everyone, but if you want to protect your car, truck, SUV, boat, or other frequently used toys, it is the most durable option for protecting from rock chips, scratches, stains, and other common damages.

quicksilver incoming for model 3 in europe

@@Siphodias92 for performance I stilll like the red but QS slaps too

These cars look great in ultra red! We've been loving the look of our matte paint protection film, DYNOmatte, over Ultra Red

We couldn't agree more!

It's hard to beat Ultra Red, but damn this does fits the car insanely good.

@@Evokyr Cars that are wrapped have a lot of broken parts. When they wrap the car they break off many plastic clips and just glue it back and do massive damage to the car. I can know it i bought a car that was wrapped thinking ah nice new paint underneath. Yes that is true, but a lot of stuff is broken, because they break off clips and you get weird noises from things broken off.. And water in certain places.

After three days of filming in the desert, the dust found its way everywhere. Fortunately, the owner owns a detail shop and managed to get it back to showroom fresh after some extensive detailing.

That makes two of us!

Excellent question! Our paint protection films can be installed using pre-cut templates, bulk (custom hand cut), or a combination. The installation technique is often the installer's preference but can vary by vehicle or customer preference. A well-experienced installer should be able to offer you either. We'd suggest talking to your preferred local installer to discuss the available options for your car. If you need help finding installers, check out the locator on our website!

We're glad you asked! Paint protection films and ceramic coatings are popular options for protecting your car’s paint, and both have advantages. One of the main differences is that ceramic coatings are a liquid application that creates a hard coating on top of your car's paint to help prevent oxidation and UV damage. This is most beneficial for easier washing and maintenance. PPF is a urethane-based plastic that is a self-sacrificial layer that creates a tangible and durable barrier of protection against scratches, rock chips, contamination, and other damages. Overall, PPF is going to provide the most protection.

@@stekusa thank you so much for your reply

We wouldn't mind seeing an update to the sides to complete the revamp!

This film, as well as most of our paint protection films, is 8 mil thick. We do not currently offer a film that exactly matches the film you mentioned. However, you may like our DYNOprism PPF. It is a metallic color-shift film with a clear base, so the paint color underneath determines the aesthetic once installed.

@@stekusa I'll check it out! Thanx!!

Here's a recent video we did installing DYNOprism on two dark blue vehicles: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g9ygjchkpse3lqM.html Darker colors, such as black and blue, will be the most vibrant, with a blue and purple tone, while lighter colors, like white and grey, are more subtle and have a purple and pink tone.

@@stekusa Thanx!

You can say that again!

We think so too!

Metropolitan Detail does excellent work, that's for sure!

Thank you, we think so too!

We're glad you're enjoying the new look!

We're so glad you enjoyed working with our films! We do apologize, however, we cannot make an exception to our purchasing requirement as we require accredited training and a business license to purchase our product as a means of installation quality control.

@@stekusa got it, I'll have to keep buying your products from a reseller; I understand the need to protect brand image though.

Thank you!

We've offered DYNOgray for many years now, and fortunately, we have many other great colors to choose from in our Fashion Film lineup as well!

Hello, and thank you for your feedback! We understand that PPF may not be the best or most viable option for all vehicles. The value of our color change PPF is that you're changing the look of your car with a quality finish that looks as good as a high-end paint job while protecting the OEM paint. Should you ever decide to remove it or resell the vehicle, having a pristine OEM finish can help maximize the value of your vehicle. While you can find a paint job in the price range you mentioned, generally, those are lower quality, last less than 5 years, and may negatively impact the resale value. Higher-quality paint jobs typically range from $15-25K and require a high level of disassembly and typically multiple weeks to complete, where PPF is less invasive and typically done quicker.

Good luck getting any decent full paint job for less than $15k.

people are doing ppf whole car for around 3.5k with stek + 1000 for whole car ceramic outside and inside tint = 550-1000 for every window even winshield and sunroof. totalling 5.5k for avg cost . theres shops in la that will do all of it for 4.5k-5k tops. those shops still charging 7k for ppf are full of it ive been to the best shops in ca bay area and they all had to lower price due to other shops and even tesla doing it for 5k.

@@thang1742I wish we got those prices in Florida, I’m not opposed to the idea of PPF, it’s just the prices. I was actually considering dyno shift green from stek for my model 3 performance but couldn’t find anything less than $9k. As far as the 15k - 25k paint jobs, those high priced paint jobs carry the same issue as PPF, its 90% labor. A single roll of high end PPF is about $1500 - $2k and materials for a high quality paint job wouldn’t run anything over $5k.

@@supremewhipdumbest comment

We're the manufacturer and distributor of the film, so we did not make that decision. The customer and the shop decided not to reapply the badges to achieve the customer's desired look. The badges can be put back on if the customer desires.

Tint laws vary by state, in Washington, all side and rear windows “Must allow more than 24% of light in.” The ACTION 35% used on this vehicle is well within the legal limit here in Washington.

We have a beautiful gloss black PPF for anyone who wants to achieve that look! We're glad you like the DYNOgray fashion film as well

Black badging would be a nice touch for sure!

Install time will vary depending on the vehicle and installation specifications. However, it's generally 3-5 days for a full-body install like the one shown in this video.
