Tesla & EV Wraps in Davis, CA
· Updated
A Tesla wrap in Davis should be one fair, published number — not an $8,000 quote with a Tesla badge attached. At Art Printing Vehicle Wraps, a full color-change wrap is a flat $3,200 whether you drive a Model 3, Model Y, Model S, or Model X (a Cybertruck is $4,500 for its larger body). One honest price. That is the direct answer to the grievance every Tesla owner has heard: "8k, same price for the S, X, or 3, even though they are much different sizes." We don't play that game — and we don't gouge you for owning an EV either.
We are a Sacramento wrap studio at 5051 College Oak Dr, about 20 minutes east on I-80 from Davis. For the full Davis service rundown, see vehicle wraps in Davis; for the EV craft itself, see our Tesla & EV wraps pillar.

Flat-price wraps — fair, transparent pricing
Few towns in the region run more electric than Davis. Between UC Davis faculty, researchers, and students, the Mace Blvd and Richards Blvd lots are packed with Teslas — and the local quote spread is exactly the paralysis the data shows: "$2k–$10k, which is quite a large range." Here is a real, published number instead of a range.
| Tesla model | Full color-change wrap | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Model 3 | $3,200 flat | One fair price, no luxury surcharge |
| Model Y | $3,200 flat | Same honest number as the 3 |
| Model S | $3,200 flat | Same honest number as the 3 |
| Model X | $3,200 flat | Same honest number as the 3 |
| Cybertruck | $4,500 flat | Larger body, stainless panels |
Color change or stealth — stand out, or disappear
Davis is one of the most EV-dense, eco-conscious towns in the region, which means the campus and G Street lots are a sea of silver, white, and stealth grey Teslas. A color-change wrap — matte, satin, gloss, or a color-shift — makes yours the one people remember from the bike racks to the parking structure. Prefer to stay subtle? A satin black or stealth finish reads premium without shouting. Either way it is reversible vinyl over factory paint: take it back to stock whenever you sell.
Wrap or PPF — the question every Tesla owner asks
You want it to look different and you want the soft paint looked after. Those are separate products:
- Color change = vinyl wrap. The look. Reversible, paint-safe, and while it is on, the film takes light scuffs, swirls, and UV instead of the factory paint. This is what we install.
- Rock-chip protection = PPF. Paint protection film is a thicker, clear, self-healing film for the hood, fenders, mirrors, and bumper. It is a different product, fitted by specialist PPF installers — a color wrap does not replace it.
- Gloss and easy washing = ceramic coating. Not impact protection, but it keeps factory paint slick and easy to clean.
The full side-by-side is in wrap vs PPF vs ceramic.
Clean removal — the part you fear, handled
The horror story is "Tesla paint coming off when trying to remove the wrap, particular problem in the front bumper." That comes from cheap film, rushed prep, or a wrap left on years too long. We back the install with a 60-day workmanship warranty and install premium cast film — 3M Wrap Film Series 2080 or Avery Dennison Supreme Wrapping Film — which on sound factory paint removes cleanly across the whole car, front bumper included.
Frequently asked questions
Do you charge the same for every Tesla model in Davis?
Yes — one fair flat price. A Model 3, Y, S, or X is $3,200 (Cybertruck $4,500 for its larger body). One honest number, not an $8k badge premium.
How far is your shop from Davis for a Tesla wrap?
About 20 minutes east on I-80 toward Sacramento. Drop off on the commute; a color-change wrap is usually a few business days.
Wrap or PPF for my Tesla?
They do different jobs. A color change is vinyl — the look, reversible, and it takes light scuffs off the soft paint. Rock-chip protection is PPF, a thicker clear film from a specialist PPF installer; a wrap does not replace it. See wrap vs PPF vs ceramic.
Will a wrap damage my Tesla's soft paint?
Not when installed and removed correctly. Premium 3M / Avery cast film that removes cleanly, front bumper included, backed by a 60-day workmanship warranty on the install.
