Specced vs Tekalab.

What Tekalab is.
Tekalab is a French detailing shop whose free AI simulator applies a FlexiShield wrap colour to a photo of your car and emails the result back.
- — You upload a clear side-on photo showing the whole vehicle and the bumper, and it applies the colour to that photo.
- — The page states that 17 colours are currently available, all from the PPF brand FlexiShield, with more brands and colours promised.
- — It publishes a turnaround of five minutes, with the finished render delivered by email.
- — Each person gets five free simulations, in matte, gloss, satin, metallic and chrome-effect finishes.
- — The catalogue is the shop’s own stock, so a colour you like is a film Tekalab already sells and fits.
What Specced is.
Specced is an AI car respray and wrap visualiser that renders a paint colour or vinyl film back onto a photo of your own car.
- — Upload a photo and the colour lands on your bodywork, your wheels and your light, not on a stock model of your car.
- — Paint and vinyl wrap live in the same studio, so you can price a respray against a film without switching tools.
- — It is free to use every day and there is no signup: you get a render before you give anyone an email address.
- — Paid credit packs are one-time. Nothing renews.
- — Every public render gets its own page you can send to a shop or a group chat.
Where Specced falls short
- — The catalogue is curated to paints and films an installer can order, from every major brand.
- — It decides colour and finish, the two choices a respray or wrap quote hangs on.
