When you’re passionate about your Tesla, sometimes you’ll go the extra mile—or in this case, a couple hundred miles—to make it perfect. For Farid, a longtime TESBROS customer, protecting and personalizing his new Model Y Juniper wasn’t just a project. It was a full-on journey.
From Georgia to Tennessee
Farid is no stranger to DIY projects. In fact, this wasn’t his first time at our HQ. His previous Tesla, a Legacy Model Y, wore a DIY PPF wrap so pristine it actually helped him get top dollar when he sold it. That success story made one thing clear—PPF was going on his next Tesla too.
So when he picked up his brand-new Model Y Juniper, he knew two things:
-
It had to be matte PPF for that stealthy, fingerprint-resistant finish.
-
He wanted the job done right, with expert guidance.
Even though he lives in Atlanta, just two hours away, he said he would have driven from California if it meant working alongside the TESBROS crew. That’s dedication.
Why Matte?
For Farid, matte wasn’t just a style choice—it was a compromise with his wife. He wanted black, she wanted gray. Matte PPF over Tesla’s Stealth Gray gave the perfect “almost black” look while adding extra protection. The bonus? No pesky fingerprints and a sportier aesthetic.
The Three-Day DIY Journey
Day one was all about preparation. Even though the car had only 500 miles on it, Fared spent hours deep-cleaning—shampoo, prep wash, clay bar—because, “Cleaning is the most crucial step.”
Over the next two days, he tackled panels one by one—hood, fenders, bumper—learning and perfecting his technique along the way. Tight curves, deep crevices, and large panels tested his skills, but by day three, he was moving at speed and feeling confident.
The Final Reveal
The finished product? A stealthy, head-turning Model Y Juniper with a flawless matte finish. Farid left TesBros HQ with more than just a protected car—he had a sense of accomplishment and the satisfaction of having done it himself.
“This was more than just an experience—it was a journey,” he said. “By the third day, I was faster, more comfortable, and honestly didn’t want to leave.”
