What EV and hybrid owners should know
A Tesla, BYD, IONIQ or Polestar is painted the same way as any modern car: a colour coat under a clear coat. So is a RAV4 Hybrid, an Outlander PHEV or a Shark 6. There’s no engine bay to worry about on an EV, but the paint faces the same Queensland UV, salt air and car-wash swirls as everything else on the road. What’s different is how much technology sits around that paint.
Modern EVs and hybrids carry cameras and driver-assistance sensors front, rear and along the sides, some behind badges and bumper covers. Those surfaces are masked and worked around by hand, never machined or coated over, so nothing gets in the way of what the car needs to see.
A charge flap gets opened every day, and flush door handles leave painted pockets that fingers, rings and keys reach into constantly. Fine scratches build up there faster than anywhere else on the car, so they’re among the first areas we refine.
New cars are shipped, stored in yards and given a quick pre-delivery wash, so fine scratches, dust nibs and bonded fallout are often there on day one. Some refine out and some sit under the clear coat; a proper inspection tells you which.
Black and dark grey Teslas, BYDs and Polestars look superb clean, and their smooth, uncluttered panels show every wash swirl and hologram in direct sun. Finishing work on these cars has to be right, not nearly right.
We don’t assume anything about a car’s paint from what powers it. Every EV and hybrid gets depth readings across every panel before any machine work, and correction is kept to what that car actually needs. A ceramic coating won’t stop a stone chip. What it does is keep the gloss up and let bugs, salt and road film rinse off, so the car gets washed properly instead of wiped.
Our answer: we measure your car, mask every sensor and lock the finish in with Fireball.

How the job runs
A good ceramic coating will lock in whatever is under it (for up to 10 years!). That’s why every EV and hybrid gets a full day of preparation before a drop of coating goes on.
1
A careful pre-rinse and hand wash, so nothing gritty is dragged across the paint.
2
Iron fallout remover and clay lift the rail dust, tar and sap a wash can’t shift.
3
Swirls and haze are cut back so the paint reads deep, not dull.
4
A refining pass lifts gloss and clarity, then every panel is wiped ready to bond.
5
Applied and levelled panel by panel by certified installers.
6
Checked under inspection lights, then handed back with your warranty paperwork.
Specific to EVs and hybrids
Fireball Professional Systems
Your Model Y, Sealion, IONIQ 5, EV5 or RAV4 Hybrid gets the same Fireball coating we’d put on a European prestige car: Dok Do+, applied by hand by a Certified Fireball Installer on paint that’s been properly prepared first.

Not in the way people often hear. An EV is painted like any modern car, with a colour coat under a clear coat, and paint quality varies car to car rather than by drivetrain. That’s why we take depth readings on every panel of every car and correct only as much as it needs.
No. Cameras, sensors, radar covers and the charge port are masked before any machine work and are never coated over.
Yes. RAV4 and Corolla Hybrids, Outlander PHEVs, Shark 6s and every other hybrid get exactly the same preparation and the same Fireball coating.
No. No coating stops a stone chip, and anyone who says otherwise is selling something. What it does is keep the gloss up and make the car far easier to clean.
No. Professionally applied paint protection will not affect your new car warranty.
Typically one day or overnight. Cars that stay overnight are kept safely in our garage.
All work is done at our Ashmore workshop, and we can give you a courtesy car if you need one. Please ask when booking.
Yes.
