At The Coat Lab, we pride ourselves on transforming high-performance and luxury vehicles with premium automotive protection and styling services. In recent months, we’ve worked on three iconic models — the McLaren 570S, Porsche GT3 RS, and Tesla Model 3 — each receiving a unique combination of wraps, PPF, ceramic coatings, and tints. These cars represent three very different brands, but they share one thing in common: owners who demand the very best in both aesthetics and protection.
McLaren 570S Satin Black Wrap: Aggression Meets Elegance
The McLaren 570S is a carbon-fiber supercar that turns heads even in its stock form. But our client wanted more — a complete satin black transformation that would give the car a stealth fighter look while preserving the exotic design details. Satin black is a favorite among McLaren enthusiasts for its sharp, non-reflective appearance that accentuates body curves and race-inspired elements.
We began with a meticulous surface prep and decontamination to ensure flawless vinyl adhesion. Our team used premium satin black vinyl from STEK, carefully applying it panel by panel with wrapped edges and hidden seams. Every aerodynamic line and vent was respected in the install, preserving McLaren’s engineering intent while boosting visual impact.
To enhance durability, we applied a ceramic coating over the satin vinyl, offering hydrophobic protection and UV resistance without affecting the matte sheen. The result? A track-bred supercar with a uniquely dark and aggressive finish — ready to dominate both the street and the show floor.
Porsche GT3 RS Full Body PPF: Built for the Track, Protected for the Road
The Porsche GT3 RS is an icon of German motorsport engineering — a naturally aspirated monster designed to crush lap times. Its bold curves, aero kit, and exposed vents make it a striking but vulnerable target on public roads. For this client, the goal was to preserve the GT3 RS’s factory paint with a full body Paint Protection Film (PPF) installation.
We selected SunTek Ultra Gloss PPF for its self-healing technology and crystal-clear finish. Our trained installers tailored every cut to the GT3’s unique body lines, applying film over the hood, fenders, roof, rockers, rear quarters, wing, and even the intricate bumper intakes. Precision was key — no stretching, no bubbles, and all edges wrapped for an invisible finish.
This full-body PPF offers 360-degree defense against rock chips, road salt, bird droppings, and UV rays, while retaining the high-gloss showroom appearance. Thanks to this protection, the GT3 RS can now transition from track days to Sunday drives without compromising its finish or resale value.
Tesla Model 3 Tint: Style, Comfort, and Efficiency
For our Tesla Model 3 client, the focus was on premium window tinting for both function and appearance. While the Model 3 offers a futuristic design and electric performance, its factory glass allows significant solar heat to penetrate — especially in Texas summers.
We installed ceramic window tint on all glass surfaces, including the full rear glass panel and front windshield (where legal). Ceramic tint is ideal for EVs, as it blocks over 99% of UV rays and significantly reduces interior heat without interfering with Tesla’s sensors, antennas, or connectivity.
The result was a more comfortable cabin, enhanced privacy, and a sleek, unified exterior look that complements the Model 3’s clean design. Our Tesla clients also appreciate the added benefit of improved energy efficiency, as cabin cooling demands are reduced — preserving battery range during hot months.
Precision, Protection, and Personality — Our Signature Approach
Each of these vehicles posed unique challenges and opportunities:
- The McLaren required high-tension vinyl work over carbon-fiber body panels
- The Porsche GT3 RS demanded full-panel protection without affecting aerodynamics
- The Tesla Model 3 needed sensor-safe tinting and seamless rear glass coverage
At The Coat Lab, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions. Every car receives a custom-tailored package based on the client’s needs, vehicle type, and lifestyle. Whether it’s a full-body wrap, PPF, ceramic coating, or high-performance tint, our team treats every detail with surgical precision and respect.
