Selecting the ideal Avery Dennison wrap color can be exciting yet challenging. With so many options available, it’s essential to consider ensuring the wrap aligns with your personal style or brand identity. Here’s a guide to help you make the right choice:
Consider Your Purpose
- Personal Use: If you’re customizing your Tesla for personal reasons, choose colors and finishes that reflect your personality and preferences. Bold shades like metallic reds or sleek matte blacks are popular choices.
- Commercial Use: For branding or promotional purposes, choose colors that match your company’s identity and are visually striking to grab attention.
Think About Your Vehicle’s Shape And Design
Certain colors and finishes enhance specific vehicle shapes. For instance, gloss finishes highlight curves, while matte or satin finishes can give a more understated, modern look to angular designs.
Evaluate Finishes And Textures
- Glossy Finishes: Perfect for a high-shine, polished appearance.
- Matte Finishes: Ideal for a contemporary and muted style.
- Chrome and Metallic Finishes: Great for making a bold statement.
- Textured Wraps: Add depth and uniqueness with carbon fiber or brushed metal options.
Lighting Conditions And Environment
Test wrap samples under different lighting conditions to see how the color changes in sunlight versus shade. Additionally, consider the environment where your vehicle will primarily be driven or parked—lighter colors may hide dirt better, while darker tones might require more frequent cleaning.
Test With Visualizer Tools
TESBROS provides wrap visualizer tools that allow you to preview how different colors and finishes will look on your vehicle model. This step can help narrow down your options before making a final decision.

Caring For Your Avery Dennison Wrap
Proper maintenance is key to preserving the appearance and longevity of your Avery Dennison wrap. With the proper care routine, you can keep your vehicle looking stunning and ensure the wrap maintains its durability. Here’s how to care for your wrap effectively:
Regular Cleaning
Washing your vehicle wrap every two weeks or as needed helps remove dirt, debris, and contaminants that can accumulate on the surface. Use a mild car shampoo with a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the wrap. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals, abrasive sponges, or brushes, as they can damage the wrap’s surface.
Protect From Prolonged Sun Exposure
While Avery Dennison wraps are designed to resist UV damage, excessive exposure to direct sunlight over time can lead to fading. To minimize sun damage, park your vehicle in shaded areas whenever possible or use a car cover when it’s not in use.
Avoid Automatic Car Washes
Automatic car washes with brushes can scratch or peel the wrap, reducing its aesthetic appeal. Hand washing is the safest option to clean your vehicle. If you prefer a commercial wash, choose touchless car washes that use gentle sprays of water and detergent to clean without physical contact.
Handle Stains Promptly
Stains like bird droppings, tree sap, or oil should be cleaned immediately to prevent permanent marks on your wrap. TESBROS’ waterless wash products are excellent on-the-go solutions for tackling these stains without needing a full wash. For more challenging spots, try our Waterless Car Wash Spray With Wax combined with Waterless Wash Microfiber Towels – but always test on a small area first.
Also, avoid using sharp tools or scraping, as this can damage the wrap’s surface. Keeping a Waterless Wash & Quick Detailer in your car ensures you’re always prepared to maintain a spotless, protected finish.
Waxing And Polishing
Traditional waxes or polishes are not recommended, especially for matte or textured finishes, as they can alter the wrap's appearance. For gloss wraps, you can use specialized vinyl wrap products to enhance shine without harming the wrap, keeping it vibrant and smooth.
Inspect And Repair As Needed
Regularly inspecting your wrap for signs of peeling, bubbling, or scratches helps address any issues before they worsen. If repairs are necessary, contacting a certified Avery Dennison installer ensures professional fixes that maintain the wrap's integrity and appearance.
