Cybertruck
Stainless steel changes everything.
Cybertruck does not have paint. The exterior is brushed 304-grade stainless steel. Vinyl wraps were never engineered for this surface. Most reputable wrap shops will not quote a Cybertruck colour wrap.
Adhesion is the core problem. The film's pressure-sensitive adhesive is rated for automotive paint. On stainless steel it bonds at maybe 60% of designed strength, leading to edge lift, bubbling under temperature swings, and shorter overall lifespan.
Path 1, recommended
Full body PPF
$8,000 to $14,000
Clear paint protection film engineered for the Cybertruck stainless surface (XPEL Stealth and 3M Pro Series both have specific Cybertruck SKUs). Protects from rock chips and minor scratches without changing colour.
Path 2, specialty shops only
Specialty colour wrap
$4,500 to $9,500
A handful of specialty shops have developed stainless-specific install processes, often using primer pre-treatment and modified adhesive films. Lifespan still trails standard wrap by 1 to 2 years. Worth it only if matte black or similar finish is the goal.
Path 3: do nothing
Many Cybertruck owners decide the brushed-stainless look is the appeal. Soaping in mineral oil to mask scratches is the community-favoured method. Free.
