Paint Protection Film vs. Ceramic Coating: Which One Is Better?

PPF (paint protection film/clear bra) is a clear urethane plastic that is applied to the painted surfaces of a car, protecting it from rock chips, light scratches and anything else that will physically impact the paint job. When applied by highly trained installation experts, it's nearly invisible shield on vehicle’s paint surface and will protect Tesla paint from paint chips, door dings and minor accidents , keeping paint looking new and maintaining its value.

The best paint protection film usually comes with a 10 year or lifetime warranty.

How Much Is PPF For Tesla?

PPF is fairly costly and the price will vary based on the areas you’d like to cover.

• Full front bumper(most common area for rock chips to happen) -$500:  Full front, including hood, bumper, fenders and mirrors, could cost anywhere from $1500-$2300 depending on the film and shop you choose to work with. If you’re interested in covering the entire vehicle with paint protection film, be prepared to spend $6000-$9000. You can also opt in for paint protection film with a matte finish; it offers all the same protection benefits but totally changes the look of the Tesla model 3.

Tesla owners are well aware of the poor quality of the paint job, which is why paint protection film and ceramic coating are a great idea to keep the paint in pristine condition for years to come. If you hate seeing swirl marks in Tesla paint, paint protection film has self-healing qualities that will repair any paint swirls when the car is simply exposed to sunlight. It’s AMAZING!

Nano Ceramic Coating

Ceramic coating is a nanotechnology that protects paint from UV rays, chemicals, acid rain, and weather erosion. It’s a thin layer of protection that prevents debris from sticking and blocks damaging contaminants, creating a hydrophobic surface. Once applied, Tesla vehicles will be protected from common chemical stains. Ceramic coatings add gloss and shield Tesla paint from fading. 

Ceramic coating is very durable and flexible; even after ceramic has been applied, it can still expand and contract like original Tesla paint does. Because ceramic coating adheres to the surface of your vehicle, it is simple to clean the next time you clay bar or wash it.

How Long Does Ceramic Coating Last On Tesla?

Ceramic coating provides paint protection and gloss that can last up to 7 years while paint protection film is measurably superior in protecting paint from all kinds of damage like rock chips and light scratches!

How Much To Ceramic Coat My Tesla Model 3?

Professional ceramic coating is less expensive than paint protection film. On average it costs $600-$2000 for any Tesla model.

Both paint protection film and ceramic coating application require preparation process that is very labor intensive including:

clay bar entire car, disassemble certain parts,

paint correction to remove chemical stains, swirls etc.

What’s the Best Ceramic Coating ?

Ceramic coating is of utmost importance since it lasts for years and Fireball ceramic coating provides the best ceramic protection.

The best ceramic coating is the one that is installed correctly by a qualified professional.

A poorly installed coating can lead to streaking, hazing, even permanent damage and will not provide the level of protection that you expect.

It’s important to focus more on choosing the right installer than on trying to find the perfect coating. A good installer will be able to assess your car’s paintwork and recommend the best coating for your needs, and they will also be able to apply it properly so that you get the most protection possible.

So before investing in a ceramic coating, make sure you do your research and find a reputable installer who has a lot of experience with this type of work.

There’s a lot of companies that offer ceramic coatings but we think you can’t go wrong choosing owners’ pride if your goal is to protect paint from all kinds of oxidation preventing uv damage and keep your paint shiny, glossy, vibrant and flawless.
