Tesla Touch Up Paint
The global idea behind the Tesla cars is to engineer a complete line of vehicles entirely powered by electricity. So, logically, the company took its name after one of the pioneers of the alternating current electricity technology Nikola Tesla. When a group of engineers from California first founded Tesla in 2003, they first aimed to prove to the world that electric cars could be as powerful as their gas powered counterpart. After five years of research and development, the Tesla Roadster was finally introduced in 2008. This impressive sports car was able to achieve the acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds while being entirely powered by its lithium ion battery. The impressive features of the Roadster did not stop at the power demonstrated but also with its resilience. The car could attain a range of 300 miles per charge of its battery without any assistance by another source of energy. Tesla immediately started to work on a sedan model with the success of the Roadster. The avowed purpose was to use the popularity of their first model as a way to finance the widespread distribution of electric cars to the average customer. This led to the design of the Tesla Model S, a completely electric sedan released to the retailers in 2012. Once again the company's achievements were such that the demand for the vehicle was higher than their production capabilities. There is no doubts that the demand for the cars are higher than the offer and if you are the lucky owner of a Tesla, it's well worth the time to protect your investment with TouchUpDirect’s Tesla touch up paint kits. Following the same philosophy of the engineers at Tesla, we aim to leave a mark as small as possible on the environment when producing our quality paint. To say the least, Tesla and TouchUpDirect is a match made in eco-friendly heaven.
What tools do I need for a Tesla touch up paint job?
To create the best looking coat for your vehicle, we recommend the following:
PRIMER, COLOR, AND CLEARCOAT - It goes without saying that you need paint to do a touch up paint job. Clearcoat provides a thin protective layer for your paint job while Primer is required for damage that has reached the original base material.
WAX AND GREASE REMOVER CLOTH - The wax and grease remover cloth is used to remove wax, grease, and contaminants before painting.
SANDPAPER - Wet-sanding the affected area removes rust and prepares the surface with a rough finish so the paint can stick better.
POLISHING COMPOUND - The polishing compound smooths everything out with a factory-grade finish.
These tools are all available with our Platinum kit but can be purchased separately on the TouchUpDirect website.
