Tesla chrome wraps.Full chrome, maximum impact.
A full-vehicle mirror finish in Avery Dennison® Conform Chrome — black, silver, red, blue, gold and rose gold. It changes how the car looks. It is not a protective film, and it is the least forgiving material we install.
Looking for a chrome delete — the brightwork blacked out rather than the whole car mirrored? That is the opposite of this page, and it is not a service we offer. A full color change covers the trim as part of the project; a trim-only job is better done by somebody who does them all week.
We will talk you out of chrome on a vehicle whose paint is not right for it. That is not us being precious — it is an expensive way to highlight every flaw in a panel.
We wrap the Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck. The Model S and Model X are not vehicles we take.
Check the total before you tap Pay. Square offers a tip on these links and it arrives already selected. It is optional and it is not part of your project price. The amount on the button is what you owe us. Anything above that is the tip — clear it, change it, or leave it. Your project is identical either way.
This is the standard case: color-change vinyl, at the Ashburn studio, inside our home area, with no old film to remove. Travel, removal and the thicker films change the number — check which one you are before you pay.
We do not carry insurance on your car. There is no commercial garage-keepers policy covering damage to your Tesla while it is with us, and no policy number to give you, because there is no policy. What we do instead is document: the car is photographed and its condition recorded at intake, and we walk it with you against that record at handover. That deters and it evidences — it does not indemnify you. Your own insurance is the coverage that applies. The full terms.
The deposit is non-refundable. Paying it commits the project. We do not decline work over timing or difficulty — what we do instead is tell you the truth about your car first. Failing clearcoat, rust or an old wrap underneath change what the finish can look like, and we will show you what to expect on your car rather than after it. The decision is yours. If we do decline a project after you have paid, the deposit is returned in full. What we tell you before you pay.
When Square asks, put your Tesla model and the color you want in the note — we cannot match a deposit to a car without it.
Who chrome is for
People who want the most dramatic thing a film can do to a car and understand what they are taking on. It is worth saying plainly: the most expensive of our five films is also the least protective one.
Choose this if
- You want a finish nothing else produces
- The car is going to be seen — events, content, shows
- The paint underneath is in genuinely good condition
- You are comfortable with a finish that needs care
Choose something else if
- You want protection — chrome adds none, and PWF is the film for that
- The paint has defects that will telegraph through
- You want the cheapest route to a different color
Cars we finished this way.
Every wrap on this site is one we installed. Some carry our earlier name.
Rose gold chrome — our work under our earlier name, ModelWrapped
Mid-install — everything but the bumper
Halfway — chrome doors against its own factory white
Jambs and hood — the parts nobody photographsTwo of these are a Model X — a model we no longer take. It is the most complete chrome set we have and it is genuinely ours, so it stays. We would rather show you the real archive and tell you what is in it than quietly crop the history.
Avery Dennison® Conform Chrome, on real cars.
Each one has its own page — the film, the finish, and what was specific about that car.
It comes off. That is the whole point.
Think of it as gift wrap for your car. You are not repainting anything — you are wrapping what is already there. The paper comes off and the present underneath is the present you started with.
Film sits on top of your paint, not in it. Nothing is sanded, nothing is sprayed, and the factory finish is untouched the whole time the wrap is on. That is why people wrap leased cars and hand them back in the original color, and why a wrap is the one way to change how a car looks that you can undo.
Wrapping paper does not stick to the present for three years. Film does, and how cleanly it comes off depends on the paint it was stuck to — which is a surface we did not put there.
Factory paint in good condition is the best case there is, and if your Tesla has never been resprayed, repaired or previously wrapped, that is what you have. Where removal gets genuinely risky is old paint, a previous respray, or panels somebody else repaired. 3M’s own warranty expressly excludes what the trade calls paint pull — a patch of paint lifting away with the film instead of staying on the car — and we are not going to make a promise the manufacturer declines to make.
The least forgiving film there is
Chrome shows whatever is underneath it, it marks easily, and it punishes over-stretching more than any standard color-change film. The price reflects installation time and risk far more than material cost.
- Avery Dennison’s Easy Apply™ RS adhesive — their technology, which is what makes a film this unforgiving positionable at all
- Every chrome project reviewed individually before a date is finalized
- Surface condition assessed first — chrome on the wrong panel highlights every flaw in it
- Longer install than an equivalent color change, on the same car
Remove → Lay → Stretch → Finish
A hand and body position that keeps the squeegee under control as it crosses a panel — angle, pressure and stroke staying consistent instead of drifting as the reach gets longer. It is named for where the hands sit, the way ten-and-two describes hands on a wheel.
From $15,000
The Conform Chrome deposit is $4,000. It reserves the project and comes off the total, leaving an $11,000 balance. It is the largest of the deposits because this is the most expensive of the five films — paying the $1,000 color-change deposit against a chrome project leaves the project three thousand dollars under-deposited, and material then gets ordered against money that does not cover it. Every chrome project is reviewed before an installation date is finalized.

Workmanship — 12 months from the day you collect the vehicle
Our workmanship coverage applies to installation-related problems under normal use, within the coverage period. Premature edge lifting, installation-related film failure, or another workmanship concern — tell us, and we inspect the car and work out the right fix.
Existing vinyl wrap removal — $3,500
Already have a wrap on your Tesla? We can remove it before your new installation.
- Northern Virginia: $3,500 flat removal fee.
- Outside Northern Virginia: the $3,500 removal fee plus travel, quoted for your location and agreed before travel is confirmed.
It does not cover every situation. Unusually difficult removal, excessive adhesive, multiple layers, severely deteriorated film or other abnormal conditions are reviewed and priced before work proceeds — we tell you, we do not surprise you.
Wrap Together does not apply to this film. The multi-car discount in the banner above is color-change vinyl only. Conform Chrome is priced per vehicle whether you bring one car or three. Color-change vinyl, if that is what you meant →

Things nobody asks for, and we do anyway.
- Photos of your material as the box opensWe photograph your film as we unpack the shipment and send them to you, so you see the actual material that arrived before anything is cut. Nobody asks for this. Everybody likes it.
- A daylight inspection before you take itThe car sits overnight, then we pull it outside and inspect it in sunlight — shop lighting hides things daylight does not — and walk it with you before you sign anything. Whatever we find there is ours to fix.
- Your material is locked once orderedWhen your film is ordered the selection is locked to your project. No silent substitution to whatever is in stock, and any change after that is recorded with who approved it.
- Condition documented before we startEvery panel, the wheels and the interior photographed and reviewed with you before any work begins — so neither of us is relying on memory at handover.
- 12-month workmanship commitmentIf an edge lifts or a seam opens because of how it was installed, we put it right at no charge for labor or material for twelve months. Small corrections can often be handled at an event or a Supercharger rather than a trip back.
- Panels cut from your vehicle’s patternYour film is cut here, on a bench, against your vehicle’s pattern, before we go anywhere — which is why a mobile install is four hours a day rather than a week of somebody cutting on your driveway.
None of this is an upsell. It is what a project includes, and it is most of the difference between our number and a cheaper one.
Studio, or at your own home.
We come to you
Your panels are cut from your vehicle’s pattern before your appointment. Our installer arrives at your home in a scheduled four-hour window, and the installation runs over two to three days depending on the vehicle and the package.
This is a requirement of mobile installation, not of working with us. Installing at your address needs a single-family detached home you own, with a private enclosed garage held in the film’s working range, around 70°F — so condos, townhouses and apartments do not qualify for the mobile route. If that is you, the other two routes are open: drive the car to our Ashburn studio, or ask us to quote travel to a facility in your market.
Mobile requirements & markets →One project at a time
Bring your Tesla to our Ashburn, Virginia studio. One project in the bay from arrival to handover, in a controlled indoor environment built for the work — and no requirements on your own property. A single car is the usual case; a Wrap Together booking of two or three cars is still one project and still the only thing in the bay.
Appointment only. No walk-ins and no public address — access details come with your confirmed project.
Coming from out of state →The awkward questions.
How much is a chrome Tesla wrap?
From $15,000, with a $4,000 deposit and an $11,000 balance. It is the most expensive of our five films and, worth knowing, the least protective — chrome is appearance only. Final pricing follows a review of the specific vehicle, because chrome is the one film where the condition of the car genuinely changes whether we will take the project.
How durable is chrome, and how do I look after it?
Durability, care and any warranty are Avery Dennison’s to state for their material, and we would rather point you at their published documentation than paraphrase it and get it slightly wrong. What we will tell you from experience is that chrome marks more easily than gloss and is less tolerant of a careless wash.
Can you chrome a Cybertruck?
A Cybertruck is a genuinely different proposition from a Model 3 or Model Y — large flat stainless panels, and a chrome finish over them is unforgiving of anything underneath. It is a project-by-project conversation rather than a yes or a no, and it starts with us looking at the actual truck.
The next question.
- See the chrome colors
- Compare with color-change vinyl
- Where an install shows its quality
- What condition your car has to be in
