Protecting a Model 3 that sees highway miles
The Model 3's front bumper and hood face everything the car ahead throws up. Around Modesto, regular trips on Highway 99 or I-5 mean gravel at highway speed. STEK paint protection film on the front takes those hits so the paint underneath stays intact. Coverage can run from a partial front to the whole car.
Ceramic coating for the whole car
A ceramic coating goes over the paint, trim, wheels and glass. It adds gloss and makes water bead, so the car stays cleaner between washes and washes faster. Skylab installs GYEON Infinite with a 5-year warranty, extended for life with the $400 yearly top coat, or Artdeshine nano graphene rated for 7+ years.

Inspected before anything goes on
Film and coating both lock in what is underneath. Skylar checks the paint under custom studio lighting and with a digital paint thickness gauge first. If there are swirls or marring, a single-step correction from $700 or a two-step from $1,450 clears them before protection goes on, so the finish under the film or coating is clean.
Questions
How much does PPF cost for a Tesla Model 3?
It depends on coverage. A partial front costs less than a full front, and a full car costs the most. Skylab quotes STEK PPF for free. Call (209) 871-7060 with your car's year and the coverage you want.
Is ceramic coating worth it on a Model 3?
Yes, if you want it to stay glossy and wash easily. The coating makes water and dirt slide off paint, wheels and glass. It will not stop rock chips, so pair it with PPF on the front if that matters to you.
How long does a Model 3 coating take?
GYEON Infinite base takes 1 to 2 days, base plus top coat 2 to 3 days, and Revolution nano graphene 2 to 4 days. Paint correction adds time if the car needs it. You get a timeline with your quote.
Can I take a coated Tesla through a car wash?
Hand washing is the best way to keep a coating looking its best. Automatic washes with brushes can put swirls back in the paint. You get a care guide with every Skylab coating that explains how to wash and maintain it.
