Bringing a Unique Vision to Life

For this project, the objective was simple but ambitious: create a Cybertruck-inspired appearance on a Tesla Model Y while retaining the practical benefits of paint protection film.

Why STEK Forceshield?

As coloured PPF technology continues to evolve, more installers are recognising the value of offering customers colour transformation and paint protection in a single solution.

For this project, STEK Forceshield Liquid Silver Matte was selected because it delivered both.

The film allowed for a complete visual transformation of the Tesla while providing the added reassurance of paint protection, helping safeguard the vehicle against everyday wear and tear without compromising on appearance.

Installation Experience

The installation was completed by Jay, Vehicle Wrap and PPF Installer at Shades, who was keen to see how the material would perform on a full vehicle application.

From the outset, the film proved straightforward to work with, offering installation characteristics more commonly associated with traditional wrapping films. The familiarity of the material helped streamline the installation process and gave confidence throughout the application, while still delivering the premium finish expected from a coloured PPF solution.

A particular highlight was the ability to achieve a clean, seamless finish across the vehicle. With no panel joins required, the installation maintained a consistent appearance throughout, helping to enhance the overall impact of the finished transformation.

“Forceshield was easy to use, quick to install and handled much like a vinyl wrap. We were able to achieve a seamless finish across the vehicle with no joins on any panel, and the overall finish looks fantastic.”

The combination of installer-friendly performance, seamless application, and premium aesthetics helped make the project both efficient and rewarding to complete.

Beyond supplying materials, Spandex works closely with industry professionals through product testing, technical training, and industry events.

This ongoing collaboration gives installers access to the latest innovations and practical expertise, helping them evaluate new products and confidently introduce them into customer projects.

As a long-standing partner, Shades continues to work with Spandex across a range of training initiatives, material testing opportunities, and industry events designed to support growth and innovation within the vehicle wrapping sector.

Combining Style and Protection

Projects like this Cyber Y transformation demonstrate the growing potential of coloured paint protection films.

By combining the visual impact of a colour change wrap with the durability and protection of premium PPF, STEK Forceshield gives installers new opportunities to create standout vehicle transformations while delivering long-term value to customers.

Summing up the experience, Jay said:

“It’s a great material to use and fit. The installation was smooth, the finish quality is excellent, and being able to achieve a seamless look across the entire vehicle really helped bring the project to life.”

Through real-world testing and creative applications, STEK Forceshield Coloured PPF continues to show how colour, protection, and installation efficiency can work together to deliver exceptional results.
