New Tesla in metallic charcoal with SiRamik Lustrous GS Graphene Coating. Bugs and a cloudy polishing attempt corrected in prep. Hexagonal water beading confirms the graphene has formed correctly.
A new Tesla in a high metallic charcoal grey for Lustrous GS Graphene Coating. The car came in with a few issues even though it was new: bugs on the front, a cloudy patch where someone had attempted to polish out a scratch (and left haze), and a light scratch along one side. All of these were addressed in the preparation before the coating went on.
Preparing new cars usually requires only two machine passes, but transport damage and delivery repairs are more common than you might expect. The preparation is the most important part of any coating job -- the coating locks in the paint condition underneath it, so the paint has to be right first.
One visible indicator that SiRamik Lustrous GS is the real thing: when water beads on the surface, it forms hexagonal patterns rather than random droplets. The hexagonal structure mirrors the molecular arrangement of graphene sheet, indicating the graphene has ordered itself uniformly within the coating.
