Tesla Model 3

The joy of electric

The pain of a limited colour palette


So, you’ve bought a Tesla Model 3, in one of 5 colours: White, Black, Red, Blue and Silver. It only makes sense that you now want to vinyl wrap it, to completely change the look of the car and make it uniquely yours.

If vinyl wrapping is something that’s new to you, that is not a problem. Here at Complete Graphics in Oxfordshire we are experts in vinyl wrapping and can guide you through the whole process, answering any questions you might have.

If you want to speak one of the team, you can call us on 01993 684112. Alternatively, fill in our contact form and we’ll be in touch.

Why wrap your Tesla Model 3?


Wrapping a car offers a number of benefits. Protecting your car's paint job from the elements can be a challenge, especially if you're driving on roads that are subject to harsh weather conditions. We all know how quickly a single errant stone can chip away at the resale value of a brand new car, and if left unprotected, your vehicle is constantly at risk of being damaged by the elements. Vinyl wrapping adds a layer of protection that will help protect your car from light scratches and small stone chips, and protect you from that horrible feeling!

Not only will you protect your car with a vinyl wrap, but you can stand out from the crowd whilst doing it! The Tesla Model 3 was the 2nd best-selling car in the UK in 2021.

Whilst you might have chosen to purchase a Tesla Model 3 for several reasons, the colour options available are probably not their main selling point and so you may be considering painting or wrapping your Tesla to give it the unique flare that you are looking for.

To learn which is the right approach for you, check out our dedicated article which compares the benefits of wrapping a car vs car resprays.

Change the colour of your Tesla Model 3 without the hassle of a respray.

By vinyl wrapping your car and having the option to remove the wrap in the future, you can choose any colour you desire without worrying if it will sell well in the future. When you come to sell your car, if you want to remove the wrap, just bring your Tesla back to our workshop and we can remove the wrap, usually within a few hours, and hand you over a car that is (almost) as good as the day it was wrapped!

What colour options are available for wrapping my Tesla?


At Complete Graphics we work with only the best vinyl: 3M, Avery Dennison Supreme and Arlon. These are chosen for their quality, long-lasting vinyl options, supplied by tried and trusted manufacturers.

We have a vast array of colour options available, from Matte Military Green to Satin Charcoal Grey, to Matte Black, Satin Metallic Orange, Bright Gloss Green, Stealth Satin Black, Aluminium Blue, Gloss Red, Matte Grey and so many more!

We recommend arranging a visit to the office to take a look through the vinyl swatch books. We can order samples of your favourite options to be sent to your house the very next day to help with your decision.

What different vinyl wrap finishes are available?


There are 3 main finishes available when it comes to vinyl wrap:
  • Gloss -
  • Satin -
  • Matte

Gloss Vinyl

Gloss vinyl is a great option if you’re looking for something with a bold colour, and a finish that looks like paint.

Matte Vinyl

Matte vinyl is often for those customers on the other end who want something completely different, to be unique, subtly. Matte black, matte green, matte charcoal and matte grey are some of the most popular matte vinyl colour options.

Satin Vinyl

Satin vinyl sits in the middle of matte and gloss vinyl. It is not as reflective as gloss, or as “dead” as matte, but it has a lovely sheen to it and is silky to the touch. Metallic satin is a popular choice for Tesla owners, as there are some amazing colours available which look great on the curves and edges of the car.

If you are interested in using chrome or colour-shift / flip colours on your Tesla, get in touch with our team to discuss your options.

Full wrap versus a partial wrap


If you are looking to customise your Tesla but not wrap the whole car, you may want to consider a partial wrap. This could include just wrapping your wing mirrors. Alternatively, we have an in-house design team who can guide you through the process of a custom-designed partial wrap that is unique to your taste.

It may also be that you are looking for some graphics or branding as your tesla is a company vehicle. Our design team are on hand to advise you on the best ways to present your business on your vehicle using vinyl graphics.

Testimonial

Charlie Hatton, Witney


"Absolute best around. The whole team at Complete graphics were amazing during the process of wrapping my Tesla. Finish is excellent and I couldn't recommend them enough.” 5 stars

Charlie, from Witney, came to us at Complete Graphics to wrap his Tesla Model 3 and was looking for a Gloss Nardo Grey to wrap his white Tesla in.

At first, we wondered if the colour would be too close to the stock gloss white but now we’re sure it will definitely turn some heads! You’d be sure to give this car a second look if you were to pass by."

How much does it cost to wrap a Tesla Model 3?


The cost of wrapping a Tesla Model 3 can vary depending on the colour and level of finish you choose.

There are 3 levels of finish for a full wrap:

  • Full Exterior Wrap – This is the most popular choice of finish for most Tesla owners. Every exterior panel is wrapped to give the effect of a full colour change when the doors are closed. This level does not include the door shuts/ door jambs, these will remain the colour of the vehicle as it was when you bought it.

    A full exterior wrap on a Tesla Model 3 will typically cost from £2,600+VAT - £3,000+VAT.

  • Full Exterior Wrap with Partial Door Shuts – This option is for customers who would like to go further than just the exterior. We will wrap into the door shuts of the side doors, without removing any doors and not including the boot or frunk.

    A full exterior wrap with partial door shuts would add £1,500 - £2,000+VAT to the cost, again depending on the colour/finish chosen. Prices are subject to vinyl choice and are only a guide.

  • Full Exterior Wrap with Full Doors Shuts – For customers who want to go the extra mile with their wrap. We recommend visiting our office before choosing this option and we will discuss with you, in-depth, the process involved for this level of finish.

How do I look after a vinyl wrap on a Tesla Model 3?


For additional protection, we highly recommend investing in a Ceramic Coat for your vehicle's wrap. This hydrophobic coating helps repel dirt, grime, and other contaminants so your vinyl wrap remains clean and looking like new. With a Ceramic Coat as an added layer of protection, you can keep your car's wrap looking great for years to come.

When washing your vinyl-wrapped car, we recommend you do not use an automatic or machine car wash as the abrasive bristles on these washes will scratch your vinyl wrap. We also recommend you do not pressure wash your vehicle as this may cause the wrap to lift if inadvertently directed too close to the edges of each panel. A simple bucket-and-sponge wash on your car will be the best way, or we can recommend a local detailing company if you prefer.

What is the process for wrapping my Tesla Model 3?


We have a simple 3 step process:

1- Pick your colour – Choose from our wide selection of high quality vinyl supplied by our trusted manufacturers.

2- Book your dates – We book you dates and order you vinyl based on a deposit payment.

3- Get wrapped! - Drop off your car on the arranged date, and we’ll let you know when it’ll be ready to be pick up. For most full exterior wraps, without door shuts, you’ll drop off your car on a Monday morning, and pick up Friday afternoon.
