Complete Guide to All 51 Official Tesla Paint Shop Patterns

Tesla's Paint Shop / Colorizer ships with 51 official patterns across its full vehicle lineup — 31 exclusive to the Cybertruck and 20 available on all supported models. This guide catalogs every pattern family, describes what each looks like, and recommends which patterns work best for each vehicle type, so you can choose confidently before opening the editor.

1. The 20 Universal Patterns (All Vehicles)

Twenty patterns are available across all Tesla models: Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertruck. These include Camo (standard), Carbon, Checkerboard, Circuit, Crosshatch, Dot Matrix, Floral, Geo, Hex, Marble, Plaid, Sakura, Scales, Stars, Stripes, Swirl, Tie Dye, Tiger, Vintage, and Wave. Each is designed to work well across the varied proportions of different Tesla silhouettes. Marble and Hex are among the most popular universal patterns — Marble delivers an elegant stone texture that pairs well with white or grey base colors, while Hex gives any model a technical, armor-plated appearance. Plaid is a Tesla-specific nod to the brand's own performance designation, featuring overlapping diagonal stripes that work especially well on Model 3. Sakura — a delicate cherry-blossom motif — is the top-performing pattern in East Asian markets.

2. The 31 Cybertruck-Exclusive Patterns

The Cybertruck's exclusive library spans several distinct families. The Camo family alone has 9 variants: Camo, Camo Blue, Camo Brown, Camo Green, Camo Pink, Camo Sand, Camo Snow, Camo Stealth, and Doge Camo. The Gradient family includes Gradient Black, Gradient Burn, Gradient Cotton Candy, Gradient Green, Gradient Purple Burn, and Gradient Sunburst — each delivering smooth multi-stop color transitions optimized for the Cybertruck's wide hood. Statement patterns include Graffiti Back, Graffiti Green, and Graffiti Orange (urban street-art aesthetics), Rust (deliberately weathered industrial look), Woody (wood-grain texture for unexpected contrast against the steel body), and Xray (a skeletal internal structure revealing the truck's framing). Additional exclusives include Apocalypse, Divide, Dot Matrix CT (a larger-scale variant), and several geometric series patterns. These patterns are designed for the Cybertruck's wider, more rectangular canvas and will not appear in the pattern library when other vehicles are selected.

3. Best Patterns by Vehicle Type

For Cybertruck, the Gradient series (particularly Gradient Sunburst and Gradient Cotton Candy) creates a dramatic contrast against the stainless steel body when used with Overlay blend mode. Camo Sand or Camo Stealth emphasizes the truck's tactical persona. For Model 3 Highland, the sharper front fascia pairs well with geometric patterns — Hex, Circuit, and Crosshatch all emphasize the Highland's angular design language. Marble on Pearl White base color is the most-shared combination in the Model 3 community. For Model Y Juniper, the full-width rear light bar makes horizontal patterns like Stripes and Divide particularly impactful — they align with the light bar and create visual continuity. For any model in stealth grey, Dot Matrix on Multiply blend at around 60% opacity creates a subtle technical texture that looks almost factory-fitted.

4. How to Find and Apply Any Pattern in the Editor

In TeslaPaintShop, select your vehicle from the vehicle selector to load the correct template. Switch to Official Template mode if not already active. The pattern library on the left panel displays all patterns available for your selected vehicle — universal patterns appear for all vehicles, while Cybertruck-exclusive patterns only appear when the Cybertruck template is loaded. Click any pattern thumbnail to apply it to the full body. For part-by-part application, use the panel selector to choose Hood, Roof, Front Door, Rear Door, Trunk, Mirrors, or Bumpers individually, then select a different pattern or color for each section. Adjust blend mode and opacity with the sliders below the pattern library. For any pattern, try Multiply at 70% opacity first — it tints the base color while preserving pattern detail, and is the most forgiving starting point for any combination.
