Short answer
Offshore installs ProLayers clear, matte and black paint protection film on the Tesla Model Y on Maui, plotted for the exact year including the 2025 Juniper refresh. The impact zone starts at $1,495.98, the full front (hood, fenders, bumper, mirrors, A-pillars) at $2,249, full front plus rockers and door edges at $2,995.89 and full body at $6,499.89. RWD, Long Range and Performance share the same panels and the same price.
Key takeaways
- Tesla paint is thinner than most, and the Model Y's wide sloped hood and large front bumper form a wide target for highway debris.
- RWD, Long Range and Performance have the same body panels, so they use the same patterns and the same price.
- The 2025 Model Y Juniper has a redesigned front end with its own patterns; the price does not change.
- ProLayers film is non-metallic and the patterns cut around the fender repeater cameras, so Autopilot and FSD are unaffected.
- White paint shows rock chips most visibly, which makes PPF the first thing to book on a white Model Y.

How it works
- 01Year and trim
Tell us the year and whether it is a Juniper. The pattern set depends on it; the price does not.
- 02Paint inspection
Existing chips are noted and touched up before film. A Model Y that has already done a year of highway miles usually has a few on the bumper.
- 03Decontamination
Wash, iron remover, clay bar and panel wipe. Delivery-center wax comes off so the film bonds to paint, not to wax.
- 04Computer-plotted film
ProLayers film is plotted to the Model Y's exact panel dimensions with relief for the repeater cameras. No razor blade on the paint.
- 05Install and inspection
Applied wet, squeegeed flat, heat-formed at the edges, panel by panel in the closed bay. Every panel is checked under lighting before pickup.
What's specific to this vehicle
- Paint
- Tesla's thin factory paint chips to primer on the first good rock. White shows chips most visibly; Solid Black and Stealth Grey show every chip in sunlight.
- Body
- The Model Y's front end is larger than the Model 3's: a wider, more sloped hood and a taller bumper. That means more paint area to protect and a slightly bigger full front than the sedan.
- ADAS
- Cameras sit in the fender repeaters, the B-pillars, above the rear plate and behind the windshield. The fender pattern cuts around the repeater housing. ProLayers urethane is non-metallic, so nothing interferes with the cameras, radar or sensors.
- Coverage
- Full front is the right answer for most Model Ys. Add rockers and door edges if the car sees gravel or a tight garage; door edge chips are common on the Model Y. Full body for Performance cars and anyone keeping the car past the lease.
- Trim
- RWD, Long Range and Performance share panels and patterns. The 2025 Juniper refresh changed the front fascia, headlights and light bar, so it has its own pattern set at the same price.
- Finish
- Clear is the default. ProLayers matte PPF converts the gloss paint to satin, a strong look on black and dark grey Model Ys, usually as a full body so every panel matches.
The Model Y front end
Park a Model Y nose-in and look at the hood from the front. It is wide, it slopes down to a bumper that sits low, and the whole thing is one continuous target for what the car ahead throws. Add Tesla’s thin factory paint and you have the reason the Model Y is such a strong case for Tesla PPF. White cars show it first, because white shows chips most visibly.
The Model Y also holds its value well, and a chipped hood is one of the first things a buyer or a lease inspector looks at. Paint protection film is a thick, self-healing urethane that takes the rock instead of the paint. ProLayers clear, matte and black film is what Offshore installs on every Model Y.
Which coverage
The full front is the Model Y package. It covers the full hood, both front fenders, the front bumper, the mirrors and the A-pillars, so there is no line across the hood where film stops. The impact zone (partial hood, bumper, mirrors) is the budget version and works for a leased car that will go back in two years.
Rockers and door edges are the add-on worth thinking about. The Model Y’s doors are long and the edges chip in tight garages and parking decks; the rockers catch gravel from the car’s own front tires on gravel and red dirt roads. Full body makes sense on a Performance and on any Model Y you plan to keep for a long time; the full front vs full body comparison covers when it pays.
Juniper, Performance and the trims
RWD, Long Range and Performance share the same body panels. Same patterns, same process, same price. The 2025 Model Y Juniper refresh changed the front fascia, the headlights and added the light bar, so it needs its own pattern set. We have it, and the price is the same as for the earlier car. Tell us the year when you request a quote so the right patterns are plotted.
Autopilot and the cameras
The Model Y carries cameras in the fender repeaters, the B-pillars, above the rear license plate and behind the windshield. The fender pattern leaves a relief around the repeater housing, so the lens is never under film. ProLayers urethane is non-metallic; there is nothing in it to interfere with the cameras, radar or ultrasonic sensors, and Autopilot and FSD behave the same afterward. We do not alter or calibrate those systems.
Stealth and the full stack
A black or Stealth Grey Model Y under ProLayers matte PPF is a striking look. It converts the gloss to satin while protecting the paint, and it is done as a full body so the finish is consistent panel to panel. The stealth PPF page has the details.
Film and window tint can be booked in the same visit, and the Tesla Owner Package prices the stack: non-metallic ceramic tint including the glass roof, full front film, a ceramic coating and windshield film. Send the year, color and whether it is a Juniper and we will price the coverage.
Questions
How much does Model Y PPF cost on Maui?
Impact zone from $1,495.98, full front from $2,249, full front plus rockers and door edges from $2,995.89, full body from $6,499.89. The Tesla Owner Package pairs the full front with ceramic tint from $2,319.
Does PPF interfere with Autopilot on the Model Y?
No. The film is non-metallic urethane and the patterns cut around every camera housing. Autopilot and FSD work the same after the install.
Do you have patterns for the 2025 Model Y Juniper?
Yes. The Juniper's redesigned front end has its own pattern set. Same film, same process, same price as the earlier car.
Is the price different for a Performance?
No. The Performance shares its body panels with the RWD and Long Range, so the patterns and the price are the same.
How long does it take?
It depends on coverage, finish and paint prep; a full body is worked panel by panel over two to three days. We confirm the schedule when we plan the car.
Should I get PPF before or after a ceramic coating?
PPF first, coating over it. The coating goes on the film and the uncovered paint and makes a white Model Y much easier to keep clean.
Is PPF worth it on a Model Y?
Yes. The paint is thin, the front end is wide and low, and the Model Y holds its value. A chip-free hood matters at resale and a repaint costs more than the film.
