How to Install EVOOOR Touch Up Paint on Tesla Vehicles: Real-World Guide for Parking Damage, Gravel Impact & Trail Driving
Minor scratches and paint chips are common on Tesla vehicles, especially when parking in tight spaces, driving on gravel-covered highways, or using the car during light trail adventures.
While Tesla’s factory finish is designed for durability, even minor contact can cause visible paint flaws. For owners who want to restore their paint without visiting a body shop, the EVOOOR Tesla touch-up paint kit offers a practical, DIY solution that works for both body paint and wheel rim repair.
This guide explains how to apply EVOOOR touch-up paint, correctly match your Tesla color code, repair scratches caused by parking damage, stone chips, or off-road use, and ensure lasting protection—even in harsh outdoor environments.

When You Should Use Touch Up Paint (Real User Scenarios)
Common Causes of Paint Damage
- Light scratches from parking barriers or tight garage walls
- Stone chips or gravel impacts while driving on highways
- Scrapes while entering or exiting unpaved roads
- Contact with bushes or trail obstacles during light off-road drives
- Wheel rim scuffs from hitting curbs
If the paint layer is damaged but the surface is not deeply dented, DIY repair is suitable.
How to Tell If the Scratch Requires DIY or Professional Repair
| Scratch Type | Suitable for DIY? | Recommended Method |
|---|---|---|
| Clear coat crack only | ✔ Yes | Direct touch up |
| Paint layer chip (no metal exposed) | ✔ Yes | 1–3 layers |
| Metal exposed (silver or golden tone) | ✔ Yes (With primer) | |
| Deep scratch / dent | ✖ No | Professional repair |
👉 If metal is visible, apply EVOOOR anti-rust primer before touch up paint.
Step-by-Step: How to Install EVOOOR Touch Up Paint
1. Clean & Inspect the Area
- Wash using neutral car shampoo.
- Degrease with an alcohol wipe.
- Ensure the area is arid.
If the scratch reveals bare metal:
- Apply a thin layer of anti-rust primer (included in kits for deep scratches).
- Let it dry for 20–30 minutes.
2. Paint Application
Using a paint pen (recommended for precision):
- Shake well for 30 seconds.
- Apply a thin layer directly into the scratch (avoid spreading).
Using a brush (for larger areas):
- Use a small brush or toothpick.
- Apply along the scratch direction only.
✔ Apply 1–3 layers
✔ Wait 5–10 min between layers
✔ Optimal temperature: 15–25°C
3. Finishing & Curing
- Leave untouched for 30–60 minutes.
- Complete curing: 24–48 hours.
- After curing, you can optionally apply a clear coat.
- Light polishing can be performed using a microfiber cloth after 48 hours have passed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pressure wash after repair?
Yes, but wait at least 72 hours.
Does drying time change based on color?
Yes. Metallic paints may require 10–15 minutes between layers, while solid colors usually dry in 5–8 minutes.
What if I didn’t apply anti-rust primer on exposed metal?
If left untreated, the area may start to corrode over time. Reapply correctly using the EVOOOR kit.
Is this better than official Tesla repair?
For minor damage, yes:
- Faster
- More cost-effective
- No appointment or workshop required
- Maintains original paint around the affected area
Can I use this on Cybertruck’s stainless steel?
Only on painted trim or coated sections. Bare stainless steel is not suitable.
Final Recommendations
- Fix scratches as early as possible to prevent paint expansion or rust.
- Always follow thin-layer application. Thick coating leads to uneven results.
- Apply in shaded or indoor conditions. Avoid rain or intense sunlight during curing.
- For frequent off-road drivers, consider adding PPF (Paint Protection Film) over high-impact zones.
