2025 Tesla Touch Up Paint (6 OEM Colors)

The 2025 Tesla Vibe

Welcome to 2025, where the hum of an electric motor is the new heartbeat of the highway. Whether it's the refreshed Model 3 "Highland" slicing through the wind or the elusive Roadster finally haunting the dreams of supercar owners, the aesthetic is strictly "high-tech minimalist." Tesla's palette this year is a tightly curated collection of six heavy hitters. You've got the deep, lustrous Ultra Red Tricoat and the futuristic Lunar Silver leading the charge, supported by the moody Stealth Gray. It's a clean, sharp look-a far cry from the rainbow-colored chaos of the seventies-but it's a look that demands you pay attention to the details.

Paint Health Check

We are deep in the Thin Paint Era, my friend. Back in the day, I'd spray enough lacquer on a fender to survive a sandstorm; nowadays, these factory robots are calibrated for "efficiency," which is just a fancy way of saying "thin." You're looking at clear coats that measure about as thick as a sheet of notebook paper. If you're driving a Model Y or a Model 3, keep a close eye on those rocker panels and the front hood. Between the high-speed aerodynamics and the "soft" nature of modern finishes, road debris treats these cars like a target range. A single gravel truck on the interstate can leave your Deep Blue or Solid Black finish looking like it went ten rounds with a cheese grater.

Restoration Tip

Since we're dealing with the "Robot Efficiency" era, you cannot-I repeat, cannot-just slap a big glob of paint into a chip and call it a day. If you try to fill a crater in that Pearl White Tricoat with one heavy pass, it'll look like a zit on a prom queen. The secret is patience: build your layers slowly. Apply a paper-thin coat, let it flash off, and repeat until the level is just a hair below the surrounding clear. If you're working with the metallics like Lunar Silver, this is the only way to keep the "flop" of the metallic flakes looking right. Remember: you're a surgeon, not a house painter. Build it up, don't blob it on.
