Frequently Asked Questions
Where Is the Paint Code on a Tesla?
All Tesla paint codes are located on a sticker on the driver's-side door jamb. To find your OEM
Tesla color code, look at the bottom-right of this sticker.
How Much Does it Cost to Fix a Scratch on a Tesla?
It depends on who does the work. Tesla scratches and chips are notoriously expensive to fix, so you can find plenty of owner
complaints citing a Tesla paint repair cost in the hundreds of dollars at a body shop. But when you buy our aftermarket
products and do the job yourself, you'll pay much less: For example, a Tesla paint pen
is only $13.95.
Does Tesla Sell Touch-Up Paint?
Yes, but Tesla only sells touch-up paint in a $55 kit that contains a half-ounce bottle of paint. That's pretty steep, especially
when you consider that you could buy everything that comes with this Tesla paint repair kit from AutomotiveTouchup for around
half the price. We also sell Tesla colors in many other sizes, so if you only need a paint pen, or you want a whole quart
or gallon, you can get it with us. You'll be out of luck at a Tesla dealer.
How Do You Use Tesla Touch-Up Paint?
Instructions for using touch-up paint on a Tesla will vary depending on the specific type of
paint repair, but the general process includes removal of all dirt and grease from the area, applying primer, adding
coats of body color to cover the area, and then finishing with clearcoat.
How Do You Protect Tesla Paint?
After doing a Tesla paint touch-up, make sure you use our clearcoat products to
protect the paint from UV rays and airborne chemicals. The clearcoat not only provides protection for the Tesla's
paint, but also gives the exterior a glossy finish like a fresh-from-the-showroom paint job.
