What Is Color Paint Protection Film (PPF)?

Color PPF is an advanced automotive film that provides paint protection and a custom appearance in one product. It’s a thick, durable urethane that fuses color pigment with protection technology, including:

• Self-healing top coats
• Hydrophobic properties
• UV shielding
• Scratch, chip, and stain resistance

This means your Tesla looks better and lasts longer, all while standing out.

Top Benefits of Color PPF for Tesla Owners

Whether you’re commuting in Sherman Oaks or cruising through Los Angeles, color PPF brings several advantages:

🎨 1. Visual Customization

Choose from gloss, matte, satin, carbon, and color-shifting finishes to give your Tesla a unique, premium look.

🛡️ 2. Real Paint Protection

Color PPF defends against:

• Road debris and rock chips
• Scratches and swirl marks
• Bird droppings, sap, bug splatter
• UV fading

🔄 3. Self-Healing Surface

Light scratches and swirls disappear with heat, keeping your car looking freshly detailed.

💧 4. Easy Cleaning

The hydrophobic surface repels water and dirt, making washing a breeze.

💰 5. Resale Value

Preserving your factory paint helps maintain your Tesla’s resale or lease return condition.

Paint Protection	✅ Yes	❌ No
Self-Healing Surface	✅ Yes	❌ No
UV Protection	✅ Excellent	➖ Moderate
Finish Longevity	5–10 Years	1–3 Years
