THE THREAT, EV PAINT VS I-294

UV, bugs, road trips and summer hail are on the road now.

Year 1 is when most owners find their first hood chips. A typical EV panel respray is rarely a perfect factory match. 7.5-mil self-healing urethane between road and paint.

Tesla runs water-based paint with a clear coat among the thinnest in the industry. Rivian and Lucid use the same modern low-VOC systems: better for the planet, worse against gravel, salt and brine. When EV paint gets hit, repair costs more: aluminum panels, sensor recalibration, weeks-long backlogs for EV-certified body work. Film changes the math. Rock chips hit the film, not your paint. Light scratches vanish with heat. Salt wipes off. At trade-in you peel back a corner and show factory paint; on a three-year-old EV that's real money.

Film brand is maybe 20% of the result; pattern accuracy, edge wrapping, prep and cure are the other 80%, and the warranty you’ll actually use is the one your installer honors in person. We chose Onyx because the film earns its spec sheet and the margin lets us include real extras instead of a logo tax. Want XPEL specifically? Fair, it’s a great film; compare installed corners and warranty terms, not logos.

08 · FAQ

Before you choose coverage.

Does PPF void my warranty?

No. PPF is a protective layer and does not modify the vehicle.

How long does EV PPF installation take?

A front bumper is a same-day appointment. A full front takes one to two days. Full body coverage takes three to five days; concierge handles the rest on Full Body.

PPF or vinyl?

Vinyl changes the look. PPF protects, is roughly three times thicker, self-heals and carries up to a 10-year warranty. Color PPF does both.

Is Onyx as good as XPEL?

Yes. See the comparison, then bring any XPEL quote and compare line for line.

What about cameras, sensors and the charge port?

Every pattern accounts for them. Camera cutouts are planned correctly, film never crosses a lens, and the charge-port door is tested before delivery.

What about a Cybertruck with no paint?

Yes. Bare stainless can scratch, water-spot and show fingerprints; it is a strong color-change PPF canvas.

My car is already a month old. Is it too late?

Not at all. We decontaminate and polish before film goes on.
