Tesla Paint Shop: a practical first-wrap checklist

A flattened vehicle image can look broken the first time you see it. Think of it as a paper model laid flat: separate areas belong to different body panels. Start with compatibility, then choose the artwork.

Know what you are buying

Custom Paint Shop artwork changes the digital vehicle visualization, not the paint on your physical car. This website supplies digital designs, not vinyl installation or production-ready cutting files.

Choose the vehicle before the design

Use a consistent order: model family, generation, trim, then artwork. A familiar model name in a title is not enough. Check the vehicle label on the detail page, and resolve an uncertain trim before paying for a download.

Preview and import serve different purposes

Our watermarked 2D previews help you compare colors, artwork and panel layouts. They do not guarantee the final vehicle rendering. Use the download action on the detail page to obtain the original PNG; saving a thumbnail is not a substitute.

Make the first attempt easy to diagnose

1. Open the gallery for your exact vehicle.
2. Choose a simple design with shapes that are easy to recognize.
3. Review its price and download conditions, then save the original file.
4. Import through an available Tesla-supported method and inspect both sides and both bumpers.

If a file imports but looks wrong, investigate the template. If it cannot be selected at all, investigate the file and transfer method. These are different problems.
