Wheel paint stick for Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y
At Teslabs, you can order high-quality, German-made rim touch-up pencils for your Tesla Model 3 or Model Y. These small brushes can be extremely practical and save you a lot of time and money. But what exactly is it and why exactly do you need a touch-up pen? Here you will find a brief overview.
Why use a touch-up pen for the Tesla?
Scratches and scuffs on the rims are some of the most unsightly and at the same time most frequent damage that usually occurs on a vehicle. A little carelessness, a brief contact with the curb, and you've got the salad - although the mental pain usually clearly outweighs the physical pain.
Nevertheless, you naturally want to restore the familiar look of your rims. However, this does not require a new, expensive set of rims: with the right touch-up pen and a few minutes' time, the damage can be painted over and made much less visible.
How long does the rim paint last?
If the rim paint stick is used correctly, the affected rim will look almost like it did before. And unless another kerb crosses the path of your Tesla, it will stay that way for the time being. The lacquer is as scratch-resistant as it is hard-wearing and will last you a long time.
Tesla performance rims or Gemini rims - which touch-up pen fits?
The most important aspect of a touch-up pen is that it matches the color of the rim exactly. Depending on which Tesla model with which rims you have, you will need a different touch-up pen - after all, there is a wide choice with Tesla Überturbine, Performance, Gemini or Aero.
All touch-up pencils available from Teslabs are specially mixed for each model and tested according to German quality standards. Simply select your rim model in the store and you can be sure that the touch-up pen supplied will fit exactly.
How do you apply a touch-up pen to a Tesla wheel correctly?
Once you've discovered damage to the rim, you'll want to reach straight for the touch-up pen and repair the spot. But before you get started, there are a few things to consider.
The first step is to remove rust and dirt from the area to be treated; a cloth or very fine sandpaper is usually sufficient for this. This should always be done with great care.
Once the coarsest dirt has been removed, it's time to reach for the spirit. This is applied with a fine cloth to make the area in question free of dust and grease, otherwise the paint will not adhere properly. After a short drying time, all preparations are complete.
By the way: In addition to spirits, other suitable substances include B. also silicone remover to clean the rim before treatment.
Now it's time to use the touch-up pen. This should be shaken well before use, preferably for several minutes. Now dab out the scratch (or scratches) in the rim with the brush provided.
Tip: It is better to use too little varnish at first and then apply several coats if necessary than to use too much varnish. In the case of deeper scratches, you should apply several coats of paint anyway in order to achieve optimum protection and a satisfactory appearance.
Important: If you decide to apply several coats, allow the paint to flash off briefly between coats and allow at least 60 minutes for complete drying after the last coat. Of course, you should not move the vehicle until the paint is dry.
Last but not least, in addition to the correct application of the touch-up pen itself, the working and weather conditions are also important: you should not work in direct sunlight or in the rain, but ideally at 20-25 degrees and in calm conditions.
It is best to work in a garage or other covered area with good lighting conditions where you can also leave your Tesla to dry.
For which rim damage is the touch-up pen not suitable?
As with touch-up pencils for scratches in the bodywork, the larger the damage, the lower the chances of success with the touch-up pencil. If the rim is deformed, there is obviously nothing that can be saved, but even deep scratches will still be visible after treatment with the touch-up pen.
It is advisable to prepare with filler and fill the recesses as well as possible. Exception: With the Tesla Aero rims, a perfectly satisfactory result can be achieved with the touch-up pen, even with larger scratches, as these are plastic hubcaps.
