What the Heck Is Colored PPF? (And Why We’re All In)
You’ve probably heard of clear PPF. You’ve definitely seen vinyl wraps. But now there’s something that combines both worlds—and we’re betting big on it.
Let’s talk colored PPF: what it is, why it’s a game-changer, and why we’ve gone all-in to make it DIY-ready for Tesla owners like you.
So… What Is Colored PPF?
Colored Paint Protection Film is a high-performance film that does two things at once:
- Protects your Tesla from rock chips, scratches, bug guts, UV rays, and road debris
- Transforms your car’s look with bold colors and finishes—no paint needed
It’s made from thick, self-healing TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane). That means minor scratches vanish with a little heat. Think of it as a shield… with style.
How’s It Different from Vinyl?
Vinyl wraps are great for style. But colored PPF gives you style and serious protection. Here’s how they stack up:
| Vinyl Wrap | Colored PPF | |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Unlimited colors | Growing variety |
| Protection | Low | High + self-healing |
| Install Method | Dry (harder to adjust) | Wet (more forgiving) |
| Lifespan | 3–5 years | 5–10 years |
| DIY Friendly | High (pre-cut, no knives) | High (pre-cut, no knives) |
Why We’re Betting Big on Colored PPF
We’ve helped thousands of Tesla owners wrap their cars, and one thing kept coming up:
“I want my car to stand out—but I don’t want rock chips all over it.”
So we made colored PPF kits that solve both problems:
- Pre-cut kits – no trimming, no guesswork
- Video tutorials – step-by-step, no BS
- Pro tools included – we send what we use
- Made for DIYers – even if you’ve never wrapped anything
How We Got Here (And What’s Coming Next)
When we launched the DIY vinyl wrap kit for the Model 3 Highland, it was a big win. A ton of you picked it up, tried it out, and gave your Teslas a whole new look. We were hyped to see the community stepping up and tackling vinyl installs at home.
But we also paid attention to the feedback.
Some of you said it was tricky. That if you didn’t align things perfectly the first time, it was hard to fix. The dry install method of vinyl? Not exactly beginner-friendly. And that’s when it really clicked for us:
Colored PPF is just more forgiving.
It installs wet, which gives you the ability to reposition as much as you need before locking it down. It protects your paint. It lasts longer. And it still gives your Tesla a killer new look.
That’s why we’ve gone all-in.
We truly believe Colored PPF is the future of wraps—especially for DIYers. And we’re just getting started.
We’ve got something big coming:
The DIY Colored PPF Kit for the Model Y Juniper is almost here.
We’ve been testing it, refining it, and making sure it’s as DIY-friendly as possible. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve built.
We’re just a few weeks away. 👀

Absolutely. If you’ve got a spray bottle and a couple hours, you’ve got this.
