Where is New Image Paint Protection located, and what areas do you serve?
New Image Paint Protection is located at 3930 S Kalamath St in Englewood, Colorado – just west of I-25, positioned between Sheridan and Cherry Hills Village. The shop serves customers from across the greater Denver metro area including Lakewood, Littleton, Lone Tree, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village, and beyond. You are welcome to wait on-site in the comfortable lobby or drop off your vehicle. To get a free estimate or schedule a service, call 303-999-7109. Customers regularly make the drive from further out because of New Image’s reputation for precision installs, premium product selection, and the kind of attention to detail you do not find at most shops in the Denver area.
What is paint protection film (PPF) and what does it do?
Paint protection film – commonly called PPF or clear bra – is a thin, transparent polyurethane film applied to the exterior of your vehicle to protect the paint from road damage. It creates a physical barrier against rock chips, road debris, bug acids, bird droppings, and light scratches. Premium PPF like STEK Dynoshield, which New Image installs exclusively, also features self-healing properties: minor surface scratches disappear with heat exposure. In the Denver and greater Colorado area, where mountain driving, highway gravel, and intense UV at altitude put vehicles through more than average, PPF is one of the most effective long-term investments you can make in your vehicle’s paint. It is available in high-gloss and matte finishes and can be applied to partial or full vehicle coverage.
What is the difference between PPF and a “clear bra”?
Clear bra and paint protection film are the same product – two different names for the same protective film. The term “clear bra” dates back to an earlier era of paint protection when the film was typically shaped to cover only the front nose of a vehicle, resembling a protective bra. The nickname stuck, even as the technology advanced well beyond that limited application. Today’s PPF – like what New Image installs in Denver – covers full body panels, features self-healing top coats, offers gloss or matte finish options, and can wrap an entire vehicle. Whether you search for “clear bra Denver” or “paint protection film Denver,” you are looking for the same service. Both terms are used interchangeably at New Image and throughout the industry.
How much does paint protection film cost in Denver?
PPF pricing depends on how much of the vehicle is being covered. At New Image Paint Protection in Englewood, packages start at $1,450 for a Partial Front package covering the hood strip, fender tips, bumper, headlights, and mirrors. The Full Front package starts at $1,850 and extends to the full hood and full fenders. A Track and High Impact package – designed for drivers on Colorado mountain roads or track days – starts at $2,750 and adds rockers, wheel arch guards, and rear trunk protection. Full vehicle wrap PPF starts between $5,500 and $7,500 depending on the size and complexity of the vehicle. All packages are customizable with panel add-ons. While PPF is a real investment, it consistently costs far less than repainting damaged panels – and it prevents the damage in the first place.
What PPF packages does New Image Paint Protection offer?
New Image offers four core PPF packages built around common levels of protection, plus the flexibility to customize coverage for your specific vehicle and driving habits. The Partial Front ($1,450+) covers the high-impact zones on the front of the vehicle. The Full Front ($1,850+) extends that coverage to the full hood and fenders. The Track and High Impact package ($2,750+) adds rocker panels, wheel arch guards, rear splash guards, and trunk protection – ideal for drivers who spend time on Colorado mountain roads, track days, or rough commutes. The Full Vehicle Wrap ($5,500 to $7,500+) covers every painted panel for total protection. Individual panel add-ons are available for any package. New Image also offers color change PPF for drivers who want a new look alongside the protection.
How long does paint protection film last?
High-quality PPF, properly maintained, lasts between 7 and 10 years. New Image installs STEK Dynoshield, which carries a 10-year manufacturer warranty – one of the best available anywhere in Denver or the broader automotive protection market. Longevity depends on the quality of the film, how the vehicle is used, and how well it is maintained over time. In Colorado’s high-altitude environment, UV exposure is significantly more intense than at sea level, which places additional demand on films without strong UV-blocking properties. Cheaper films often begin yellowing and delaminating within 3 to 5 years. Routine care – hand washing with pH-neutral soap, avoiding brush-style automatic car washes, keeping bugs and bird droppings off promptly, and scheduling annual check-ups – keeps STEK film performing and looking excellent throughout its full lifespan.
Does paint protection film yellow or discolor over time?
Lower-quality PPF does yellow over time, typically within 3 to 5 years of UV and weather exposure. This is one of the most visible signs of a cheap film installed by a less experienced shop. High-quality films like STEK Dynoshield, which New Image uses exclusively, are engineered to resist yellowing, cracking, bubbling, and delamination – and are backed by a 10-year warranty that covers those exact defects. In Colorado, where vehicles are exposed to stronger UV radiation due to the state’s elevation, film quality matters more than in most markets. Choosing an experienced, STEK-certified installer like New Image in the Denver area means you are getting a film that is built to stay clear and perform correctly for the long haul – not something that will need to be stripped and replaced in a few years.
Is paint protection film worth it in Denver?
For most vehicle owners in the Denver area, PPF is absolutely worth the investment. Colorado roads – from I-25 to mountain highways through the foothills – expose vehicles to constant gravel and debris that chip paint over time. Layer in Denver’s intense high-altitude UV exposure, hailstorm risk, dramatic temperature swings, and winter road chemicals, and the case for protecting your paint becomes very straightforward. PPF also makes the vehicle easier to clean and maintain, and it preserves paint condition in a way that directly supports resale value. For new vehicles, Teslas, luxury and exotic cars, and anything you plan to sell someday, the math consistently works in PPF’s favor. Repainting a single panel in Denver typically costs more than a partial front PPF package – and PPF prevents the damage before it happens.
Can PPF be applied to any vehicle?
PPF can be applied to virtually any vehicle – everyday cars, trucks, SUVs, luxury vehicles, exotics, Teslas, and classic cars. New Image Paint Protection has wrapped everything from BMW M3s and Porsches to Ferrari F8s, Range Rovers, and collector vehicles for customers across the Denver metro area. The installation approach varies by vehicle because every model has unique contours, curves, and panel shapes that require experience to cover cleanly and seamlessly. New Image uses a 60-inch Graphtec plotter with state-of-the-art pattern-cutting software to generate precise cuts for each model, combined with bulk installation techniques for areas that need custom hand-fitting. Classic and restoration vehicles can also benefit from PPF as a way to protect original or freshly restored paint. If you have a unique vehicle, call 303-999-7109 to discuss.
How long does PPF installation take?
Installation time depends on which package you choose and the complexity of your vehicle. A partial front package covering the bumper, hood strip, headlights, and mirrors typically takes one day. A full front package usually takes one to two days. A full vehicle PPF wrap can take three or more days depending on vehicle size and body line complexity. Teslas and exotic vehicles with distinctive contours require extra care and precision, which adds time but produces noticeably better results. At New Image Paint Protection in Englewood, you can drop your vehicle off and the team will keep you updated throughout the process – several customers have noted receiving progress photos during the installation. The priority is always a clean, seamless result with fully wrapped edges and no exposed seams, not just getting the job done fast.
What is ceramic coating and how is it different from paint protection film?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to the paint surface, forming a hard, transparent, ultra-slick protective layer. It repels water, blocks UV rays, resists oxidation, and makes contaminants like road salt, bird droppings, tree sap, and hard water spots much easier to wash off. What ceramic coating does not do is protect against rock chips, scratches, or physical road debris – that is the role of PPF. The two products are complementary: New Image routinely applies ceramic coating on top of PPF for Denver customers who want the most complete protection available. PPF handles the physical threats; ceramic handles UV, environmental chemistry, and ongoing cleanliness. Customers with new vehicles or high-value cars in the Denver area frequently choose both together for comprehensive, long-term protection.
How long does ceramic coating last?
A professionally applied ceramic coating typically lasts between 2 and 5 years, depending on the product grade and how well it is maintained. New Image uses Gtechniq ceramic coatings – a professional-grade product only available through authorized dealers, which New Image is. Gtechniq products deliver high levels of gloss, durability, and surface slickness over an extended service life. In Denver’s environment – intense UV at altitude, road salt in winter, temperature extremes, and frequent freeze-thaw cycles – a properly applied ceramic coating provides meaningful protection against the factors that cause paint to fade and oxidize prematurely. Annual inspection visits, pH-neutral soap washing, and avoiding brush car washes will extend the coating’s effectiveness over time. New Image recommends yearly follow-up check-ins to keep everything performing as it should.
Does ceramic coating protect against rock chips and scratches?
No – this is one of the most important distinctions to understand before choosing a protection plan. Ceramic coating is nano-scale and chemically bonded to the paint surface, which gives it excellent resistance to UV rays, oxidation, chemical contamination, and light swirl marks. But it cannot absorb or deflect the physical impact of gravel and road debris. For rock chip protection on Denver’s highways and mountain roads, paint protection film (PPF) is the only product that actually works. The good news is that PPF and ceramic coating are designed to work together: New Image Paint Protection regularly applies ceramic coating on top of PPF for a protection system where the film handles impacts and the ceramic handles UV, environmental chemistry, and surface cleanliness. They are not competing choices – they are a team.
Can PPF and ceramic coating be combined on the same vehicle?
Yes – and it is one of the most popular combinations New Image does for Denver-area customers who want comprehensive protection. The correct installation order is always PPF first, then ceramic coating applied on top. PPF cannot be installed over an existing ceramic coating because the film’s adhesive will not bond properly to a coated surface. When layered correctly, the two products create a protection system that covers all the major threats a vehicle faces: PPF absorbs rock chips, road debris, and physical scratches, while the ceramic top coat adds hydrophobic water repellency, UV blocking, resistance to bird droppings and road salt, and a deep, enhanced gloss. For new vehicle owners in Denver who want to protect their investment from day one, this combination is the most complete option available.
What is paint correction and do I need it before ceramic coating?
Paint correction is the process of removing surface imperfections from a vehicle’s clear coat – swirl marks, fine scratches, oxidation, hazing, and bird etching – using machine polishing techniques that restore the paint to a clean, defect-free condition. It is a required step before applying ceramic coating because the ceramic layer chemically bonds directly to the clear coat and permanently seals whatever condition the paint is in at the time of application. Applying ceramic over uncorrected paint locks in the defects beneath the coating for the life of the product. At New Image Paint Protection, every ceramic coating application begins with a thorough paint inspection and correction phase. Denver customers get the best possible finish – not just a shiny coating applied over flawed paint that was there before the first visit.
How do I care for a ceramic coating after installation?
After a ceramic coating is applied, avoid all water contact for the first 24 hours and do not wash the vehicle for the first seven days while the coating fully cures. Once cured, hand washing is the preferred maintenance method – use a pH-neutral car shampoo with a microfiber wash mitt and a two-bucket system. Avoid automatic car washes with brushes, which can cause fine scratching over time. Wash from top to bottom, wash wheels last, and try to work in the shade rather than direct sunlight. Dry with microfiber towels or a blower. In Denver’s environment, where road salt, bird droppings, and intense UV are regular factors, frequent washing keeps the coating performing at its best. New Image recommends annual check-in visits to keep the coating in top condition.
What are the window tint laws in Colorado?
Colorado window tint law is governed by State Law HB19-1067 and is measured by Visible Light Transmission (VLT) – the percentage of light that passes through the window. For the front windshield, tint is allowed only along the top four inches at a minimum of 70% VLT. Anything lower on the windshield, or darker than 70% VLT, is a violation. All side windows and the rear window must maintain at least 27% VLT. Red, amber, metallic, and mirrored tint colors are not permitted on any window. Colorado does not grant medical exemptions – the VLT rules apply to all vehicles regardless of medical need. Tint violations in Colorado are classified as a Class B traffic infraction, and more serious violations can carry fines up to $5,000. New Image offers free tint inspections at the Englewood shop for drivers who are unsure whether their existing tint is legal.
What is the darkest legal tint in Colorado?
The darkest legal tint in Colorado is 27% VLT for side windows and the rear window. On the front windshield, tint is only permitted along the top four inches at 70% VLT or lighter. A lower VLT percentage means a darker window – so 27% VLT lets in 27% of available light, which is noticeably dark but still within Colorado law. Going below 27% VLT on any non-windshield window is a violation. Red, amber, and metallic or mirrored tints are banned entirely regardless of VLT. If you are unsure about the current tint on your vehicle, New Image Paint Protection offers free inspections at 3930 S Kalamath St in Englewood. Getting tinted to the legal limit gives you the maximum privacy and heat rejection available under Colorado law without the risk of a traffic stop or fine in the Denver area.
What is the difference between ceramic window tint and regular window tint?
Regular window tint – typically dyed or carbon film – blocks visible light and provides some UV protection, but its heat rejection performance is limited and it can fade or discolor over time. Ceramic window tint uses nano-ceramic particles embedded in the film to block infrared heat radiation much more effectively, keeping the cabin significantly cooler without requiring a darker shade. Ceramic tint also does not interfere with electronic signals from GPS, Bluetooth, or cellular systems the way metallic films can. New Image is an authorized SunTek installer and offers both the Carbon Series and the Ceramic IR Series, which blocks up to 99% of UV rays. For Denver drivers dealing with Colorado’s intense high-altitude sun, ceramic window tint delivers noticeably better real-world heat and UV rejection than standard film at comparable VLT levels.
Can window tint be applied to the front windshield in Colorado?
Yes, but with important limitations. Colorado law allows tint on the front windshield only along the top four inches of the glass, at a minimum of 70% VLT. Anything applied lower on the windshield or darker than 70% VLT is a violation. Despite that restriction, a windshield tint strip is still a practical upgrade for Denver drivers: Colorado’s intense sun – amplified by the state’s altitude – means even a compliant strip across the top of the windshield reduces glare, blocks UV rays, and helps protect the dashboard and interior surfaces from fading over time. New Image Paint Protection installs windshield tint in full compliance with Colorado law and can walk you through exactly what is allowed for your vehicle so you get the most benefit possible without any legal risk.
How much does window tinting cost in Denver?
Window tinting pricing in Denver depends on the number of windows, the type of film, and the vehicle. Standard carbon film is more affordable than ceramic IR film, which delivers superior heat rejection and longevity. At New Image Paint Protection, customers choose from eight different shades across SunTek’s Carbon and Ceramic IR Series. For an accurate estimate specific to your vehicle and desired film, call 303-999-7109 or stop by the shop at 3930 S Kalamath St in Englewood. Window tinting is one of New Image’s faster services – most vehicles are completed in a single day. Ceramic tint costs more upfront than standard film, but for Denver drivers who spend real time behind the wheel in Colorado’s sun, the improvement in cabin comfort and UV protection makes it a worthwhile upgrade for most customers.
What is a color change wrap and how is it different from a paint job?
A color change wrap applies a new film to the exterior of your vehicle, transforming its color and finish without touching the original paint. At New Image, color change wraps use Pure PPF – a TPU-based film that is 7 mils thick (compared to standard vinyl’s 2 mils), features a self-healing hydrophobic top coat, and lasts up to seven years. Unlike a paint job, a wrap is fully reversible – when you want to change colors or go back to the original, the film can be removed cleanly without damaging the paint underneath. Wrapping typically costs significantly less than a professional repaint while also protecting the original paint from chips, UV, and Denver’s road conditions during the time the wrap is installed. It is both a cosmetic upgrade and a protection layer in one product.
How long does a color change wrap last?
Longevity depends heavily on the material used. Standard vinyl wraps last approximately one year before they begin to fade, peel, and lose their appearance. New Image uses Pure PPF for color change wraps – a TPU-based film 7 mils thick with a self-healing, hydrophobic top coat that lasts up to seven years and holds its gloss far longer than vinyl. The hydrophobic top coat maintains gloss up to ten times longer than vinyl and resists the contamination and UV exposure that makes vinyl fade so quickly. In Colorado’s environment – where high-altitude UV, temperature extremes, road chemicals, and Denver’s unpredictable weather all come into play – a product built to last genuinely matters. New Image also recommends applying a ceramic coating over the wrap for an additional layer of protection and easier day-to-day cleaning.
What vehicles does New Image Paint Protection wrap?
New Image wraps personal passenger vehicles of all types – everyday cars, trucks, SUVs, luxury vehicles, exotics, and supercars. The shop has particular expertise wrapping all Tesla models, including Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck. For Denver-area Cybertruck owners specifically, New Image offers 80 PPF film color options – more than any other installer in the Denver market – and removes trim and side mirrors during installation for a completely seamless finish. Wrap styles include matte, gloss, deep color, hybrid multi-tone, and custom designs. New Image does not wrap commercial or fleet service vehicles. With over 25 years of installation experience serving the Denver metro area, the team has worked on just about every vehicle type imaginable. Call 303-999-7109 to discuss your specific vehicle and the look you are going for.
Does New Image install PPF on all Tesla models?
Yes – New Image Paint Protection is one of Denver’s most experienced Tesla PPF installers, with hands-on experience across all current Tesla models: Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck. Proper PPF installation on a Tesla requires understanding the specific contours of each model, including door handles, rocker panels, and glass roof edges, to achieve seamless, bubble-free coverage with no exposed film edges at the corners. New Image uses both pre-cut pattern software and bulk installation techniques to handle every detail. For Cybertruck, the shop offers 80 PPF color options and removes trim and mirrors for a fully seamless result. Tesla window tinting and ceramic coating are also available for all models, and the team regularly combines all three services for Tesla owners looking for comprehensive protection across the Denver metro area.
Why is PPF especially important for Teslas?
Tesla’s factory paint is widely recognized in the automotive community as softer than most other production vehicles, making it significantly more susceptible to rock chips, swirl marks from washing, and general paint wear. Owners across the Denver area frequently discover paint chips within the first few months of driving their Tesla on Colorado highways. PPF creates a physical barrier that absorbs the impact of road debris before it can reach the paint. Given the cost of Tesla vehicles and the expense of repainting Tesla body panels – which require specialized color matching – PPF is a practical investment from day one. New Image pairs PPF with ceramic coating for many Tesla customers, giving the vehicle comprehensive protection: PPF for physical impact resistance and ceramic for UV blocking, hydrophobic surface performance, and enhanced gloss depth.
Does New Image offer seamless window tinting for Tesla Model 3?
Yes – New Image is one of a select few window tint installers in Denver to offer seamless one-piece rear window tint for Tesla Model 3. Most tint installers apply the rear window film in two or more pieces, leaving a visible seam across the glass. New Image has the tools and experience to install the rear window as a single, uninterrupted piece – eliminating the seam entirely for a cleaner, factory-quality appearance. This is particularly important for Tesla Model 3 owners because of the large, curved rear glass that is such a prominent part of the car’s design. New Image offers this service across SunTek’s Carbon and Ceramic IR Series, giving Model 3 owners in the Denver metro area the best possible combination of appearance, UV protection, and heat rejection.
What are the most vulnerable areas on a Tesla Model Y or Model 3 for paint damage?
The front bumper, hood, and fenders take the most gravel and highway debris on Denver roads – which is why the Full Front package is the baseline recommendation for most Model Y and Model 3 owners. But the rocker panels are frequently underestimated: those low-running panels along the bottom of the door sills collect rock spray and road contamination from the wheel wells at highway speed and show wear quickly. The A-pillars also pick up debris at windshield corners and are worth including in a thorough plan. Door edges are a common chip zone from parking lot encounters. For Model Y owners, the lower rear bumper and tailgate area are high-contact spots during loading. New Image works with Denver-area Tesla owners to identify the highest-risk areas for their specific driving habits before recommending a coverage package.
How do PPF, ceramic coating, and window tinting work together on a Tesla?
Each product addresses a different threat. PPF is the physical barrier: it absorbs rock chips, scratches, and road debris on painted body panels. Ceramic coating goes on top of the PPF and handles UV blocking, chemical resistance, and surface slickness – making the Tesla easier to clean and protecting against oxidation and environmental contamination from Denver’s road salt, bird droppings, and tree sap. Window tint addresses all glass surfaces: blocking UV rays, rejecting infrared heat, and protecting the interior from sun damage and fading. Applied in the correct order – PPF first, then ceramic coating on top, then tint across all glass – the three products create a complete protection system where every surface of the Tesla is covered. New Image regularly installs all three on Tesla vehicles in a single coordinated, multi-day appointment.
What PPF coverage do you recommend for a Tesla Model Y or Model 3?
The right coverage depends on how you use your Tesla and your budget. For most Model Y and Model 3 owners in Denver, a Full Front package ($1,850+) – covering the full hood, full fenders, bumper, headlights, and mirrors – provides strong protection against the rock chips and road debris that accumulate from highway and mountain driving. Owners who spend significant time on Colorado’s mountain roads, or who want full peace of mind, often go with a full vehicle wrap starting at $5,500. Some customers add Track and High Impact elements – rockers and wheel arch guards – to protect the lower panels that take the most road spray. New Image can walk you through the best options for your specific Model Y or Model 3 configuration at no charge.
Does PPF protect the glass roof on a Tesla?
PPF is designed for painted body surfaces and is not applied to glass panels, including Tesla’s panoramic glass roofs. Window tint film is the right product for glass: it blocks UV rays, rejects infrared heat radiation, and significantly reduces the sun exposure that pours through Tesla’s large glass roof sections. New Image installs SunTek Ceramic IR Series tint, which blocks up to 99% of UV rays. This is a meaningful upgrade for Model 3, Model Y, and Model S owners in Denver who deal with Colorado’s intense high-altitude sun coming directly through their glass roof. Ceramic window tint also protects interior leather, dashboard surfaces, and trim from the fading and cracking that results from prolonged UV and heat exposure – an often overlooked benefit for long-term Tesla ownership.
What makes PPF installation on a Tesla different from other vehicles?
Teslas have a number of design details that require model-specific experience to wrap correctly. The flush pop-out door handles on Model 3 and Model Y need careful film work to avoid air bubbles or visible edges at the handle perimeter. Rocker panels sit low and have complex curves where film can lift prematurely if not properly hand-fitted and edge-wrapped. Glass roof transitions require clean coverage up to the edge without gaps. The Cybertruck presents an entirely different challenge: its flat stainless steel panels and sharp angular geometry require techniques that differ significantly from conventional curved bodywork. New Image has installed PPF on every current Tesla model for customers across the Denver metro area, and that model-specific experience – built over hundreds of Tesla installations – is visible in the quality and longevity of the finished result.
What color options does New Image offer for Tesla Cybertruck PPF?
New Image offers 80 PPF film color options for the Tesla Cybertruck – more than any other installer in the Denver area. That range spans transparent clear film to preserve the original stainless steel look, matte and gloss finishes, matte black (consistently the most popular choice at the shop), deep metallics in blue, red, silver, and other shades, and textured options including carbon fiber-look film for accent areas. During every Cybertruck installation, New Image removes trim pieces and side mirrors to achieve a seamless, gap-free finish that looks intentional rather than applied over the body. The wraps use Pure PPF – a TPU-based film that lasts up to seven years – rather than cheap vinyl, so the color and finish hold up properly under Colorado sun and weather.
Can you install PPF on the stainless steel body of a Tesla Cybertruck?
Yes – PPF adheres to the Cybertruck’s stainless steel body panels the same way it does to painted surfaces. The film installs directly over the steel exterior, creating a protective barrier against scratches, road debris, bird droppings, and UV exposure. This matters on the Cybertruck because bare stainless steel, while durable, shows fingerprints, surface scratches, and light marring visibly – and addressing damage on a stainless steel panel is significantly more involved than repainting a conventional body. PPF also makes the Cybertruck dramatically easier to clean and maintain on a daily basis. New Image has worked extensively with Cybertruck owners in the Denver area and is one of the most experienced Cybertruck PPF installers in Colorado. Adding a ceramic coating on top of the PPF provides further surface slickness and UV resistance.
Does wrapping a Tesla Cybertruck with PPF affect its resale value?
A PPF wrap generally helps preserve or improve a Cybertruck’s resale value. The film protects the stainless steel body from the scratches and surface marks that accumulate during normal ownership – keeping the truck in better condition when it comes time to sell. Because PPF is fully reversible, a future buyer who prefers the original stainless look can have the film removed without any underlying damage to the body. Colored PPF wraps are popular with Cybertruck buyers who want a distinctive look without permanently committing to it. New Image’s approach of removing trim and mirrors during installation produces a seamless finish that signals careful ownership – which matters to buyers. Denver-area Cybertruck owners consistently find that a well-protected, well-maintained vehicle commands more at resale than one with visible surface wear.
Why is window tinting especially important for Tesla vehicles?
Tesla vehicles have some of the largest glass surfaces of any production car on the road. The panoramic glass roofs on Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X create a greenhouse effect that significantly heats the cabin during sunny days – which in Colorado’s high-altitude environment is a real factor most of the year. Ceramic window tint blocks infrared heat radiation before it enters the cabin, reducing the energy the Tesla needs to run climate control and directly protecting driving range in warm weather. SunTek Ceramic IR Series, which New Image installs, blocks up to 99% of UV rays and significantly reduces heat transmission. The large glass surfaces also accelerate fading and cracking of interior leather and dashboard materials – window tint dramatically slows that deterioration and extends the life of your Tesla’s interior.
Can I bring my new Tesla directly from delivery to get PPF and tint installed?
Yes – and it is the ideal approach. Many Denver-area Tesla owners bring their vehicle to New Image immediately after taking delivery, before the car has accumulated any road miles, wash swirls, or rock chips. Getting PPF, ceramic coating, and window tint applied at the same time on a brand-new Tesla is the most efficient and cost-effective way to protect your investment: the paint is in its cleanest possible condition, and you start ownership with the vehicle fully protected. New Image coordinates the full protection stack – PPF first, ceramic coating on top, window tint across all glass – in a single multi-day appointment. This new-delivery workflow is one of the most common services the team provides for Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck owners across the Denver metro area.
