LA Silver R1T w/ XPEL Stealth PPF Wrap

[jdk24]

I'm in Denver as well waiting for my Forest Green R1S. But my buddy has a shop here in Highlands Ranch that does great work with Stealth/PPF/Tint/Ceramic Coat. It's called Advance Auto Glass, Tint & Clear bra (@advanceindustries on instagram). So they're another great option in the area if anyone is looking!

He said they're at $7500 like Denver Auto Shield as well for full PPF/stealth but he'll knock $500 off if you mention Rivian Forums

Don't think I've updated this thread with pictures since I powder-coated the wheels. In my defense, Its been a rough July & August and I just got the truck back yesterday after a total battery pack replacement after about 5,000 miles on the odometer followed by another low volt electrical issue at 6k miles. Total time in the shop about 5 weeks. Of course both issues happened not very close to home - at trailheads on some mountain bike rides, but Rivian was able to get it towed back to the service center on the same day(s) it died. Enough whining, here are a few new pics along with one or two I may have shared on other threads. Once I work up enough nerve to head back into the foothills I'll try to get some better shots.

Looks SO good! Sorry to hear about all the issues you have had so far. Hopefully that’s the end of it.

Can I ask how much you spent to powdercoat your wheels? I go back and forth between paying for the dark 20s vs doing what you did.

That looks great! Sorry about all your issues, but glad they took care of you and that you've been patient with early adopter issues. Hope your truck is rock solid from this point forward.

Quick question - is that powder coating satin or glossy black? Looks satin, but just want to be sure.

Just over $1k at Colorwerks down here in Centennial - took about 36 hours.

Never been a fan of the silver till I saw this stealth wrap post, looks awesome!

I'd LOVE to see more pictures of LA Silver with Stealth if anyone can share!! I'm debating if I should wrap my LA Silver when it arrives. (Or have Rivian do it)

Thanks guys!

Here's a few more from before I had the wheels powder coated.

Picked it up this morning after a long five days at Denver Auto Shield getting the following done:
Xpel Prime XR+ window tint
Xpel Ultimate+ full body stealth coverage
Gyeon Ceramic coating

I think the matte finish on the silver is a little more subtle but still provides a little uniqueness.
In the shop:

Out in the Sun

A bit of in-between sun/clouds at Redrocks

Some close-ups of the metal flake - the PPF seems to bring it out a little more in full sun.

Looks RAD! $7,500 is basically a price wash on the Federal EV incentive... ; )

Have LA Silver

Did full front and doors with clear Xpel.

Taking it back in soon to get a small section added on (delivery problem).

Was thinking of adding on tinting of the door windows -- was wondering how dark ya'll went?

Was also debating adding on ppf to the rest of the truck, but leaning against it at the moment.

Which wheels are those? What did it cost to have them powder coated (if you don't mind my asking), and how long did it take?
