Tesla color change wraps.Change the color, keep the car.
A full color change in premium 3M™ or Avery Dennison® film. The factory paint stays exactly where it is, underneath — which is why this works on a lease, and why it comes back off.
Removing an existing vinyl wrap is a separate $3,500 fee in Northern Virginia — it is not included in the $7,000.
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 a color change is for
This is the one most people are actually after. It changes how the car looks and nothing else — it is not a protective film, and we will not sell it to you as one.
Choose this if
- You want a different color, or a finish paint cannot do
- The car is leased, or you want the option to go back to factory
- You want gloss, satin, matte, a texture or a color shift
- You care more about appearance than about stone-chip protection
Choose something else if
- You mainly want the paint protected — that is 3M Protection Wrap Film
- You want a mirror chrome finish — that is Conform Chrome
- The paint underneath is loose, peeling or unstable
Cars we finished this way.
Every wrap on this site is one we installed. Some carry our earlier name.
Model Y — satin pink
Finished — hot pink, in the Frederick bay
Cybertruck — satin black
Model Y — orangeColor-change vinyl, on real cars.
Each one has its own page — the film, the finish, and what was specific about that car.

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.
What a color change involves
Every panel is measured, cut, laid, worked out from the anchored area, trimmed, tucked and post-heated. Doors are the quick ones. Bumpers with compound curves are not.
- Full-vehicle coverage — we do not do partials
- Panel gaps and edges tucked so no original color shows
- Post-heating on stretched areas so the film stays where it was put
- Trim, badges and handles addressed rather than wrapped around
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 $7,000
The color-change vinyl deposit is $1,000. It reserves the project and comes off the total. That figure belongs to this film and no other — Protection Wrap Film is $3,000, Conform Chrome is $4,000, and Paradox Supreme Color PPF is paid in full at $13,500 with no deposit — so check which film you are actually buying before you pay. Final pricing is set after we review the vehicle, the coverage, the film and the condition of the car.

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 two Teslas. Save $2,000. Three, save $3,000.
Have another Tesla at the same address? One trip, one setup, both cars. We bring the equipment and the pre-cut kits once and work the two vehicles through the same service windows instead of doing the whole thing twice.
Wrap Together is color-change vinyl only — 3M™ or Avery Dennison®. It does not apply to 3M™ Protection Wrap Film or to Avery Dennison® Conform Chrome, at any number of cars: those are priced per vehicle whether you bring one or three. Every figure here — $6,000 a car, $12,000 for two, $18,000 for three — is two or three vinyl wraps specifically.
TeslaWrapper does not carry a commercial policy on your vehicle while it is in our care — your own insurance is what applies. We say so here rather than leaving you to find it. The full position →

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 long does a Tesla color change last?
Durability is the film manufacturer’s figure, not ours, and it varies by color, finish and how the car is kept. 3M publishes a warranty on Series 2080 that runs up to 8 years on vertical surfaces and 3 years horizontal depending on zone — that is 3M’s warranty on their material, covering the original purchaser, not transferable, and it expressly excludes paint pull during removal. Our own workmanship commitment is 12 months.
Will a wrap damage my Tesla’s paint?
A wrap goes over paint, not into it, and the paint is untouched while the film is on. The honest risk sits at removal, and it depends entirely on the paint it was stuck to. Factory paint in good condition is the best case; a previous respray or somebody else’s repair is where removal gets genuinely risky. We inspect for that before installing rather than finding out at the end.
Can I change just the roof, or just the chrome trim?
No. We do full-vehicle color changes only — no roof-only, no hood-only, no accent panels and no two-tone treatments, on their own or as an add-on. Chrome delete is a separate no for its own reasons. A partial is a different job with different edges, and the boundary where film stops and paint continues is its own way of going wrong, so we would rather do one thing properly. If a roof is genuinely all you want, a good local shop is the right call and we will say so.
