I want to get LG but my worry about LG is it is an one and done color. Any one have an idea about the availability of this paint in future? Will Rivian manufacture and sell this paint even after couple of years if we need to touchup or re-paint a panel?
All you need is the paint code & it can be very easily matched, even by third parties.

Wow that is my exact original configuration. Thank you for sharing the pic!!!

Now I am torn between 20" or 22" inch...listening and reading on the drive experiences it seems like the 20" A/T is the way to go if you want to do any off-roading.

My questions now is due to the dynmics of the air suspension do you really feel any tire-roll with the 20"ers or does the suspension counter it enough that in pavement driving you can still be aggressive in cornering. Or, should I just have another set of wheels?

I have been on the threads on mileage impact. I know I will be an aggressive driver anyway, so will it really matter which wheel size to select.

I may just go with the 20"ers because I do want to start off-roading with this Rivian!!

Anxiously waiting and also stuck with a dilema on what wheel size to pick....

Rivian does not manufacture and sell paint, no automaker does.
Paint is mixed to match. Touch up pens are not hard to come by either, in every colour

It's good to know your strengths and weaknesses. :)

Wow, that is such a great color. I really like the Rivian Blue, but now I am sold on the launch green for my truck

My two boys and I, have been trying to decide on Forest Green (My favorite at reveal), and Launch Green for our R1S. Thanks to my buddy (not perfect, some blue halo), he made a quick photoshop of the R1S from the first @Rivian R1S we saw in Rivian Blue at factory, and the new LG pictures from @kevin1985. Not perfect, but gave us an overview of what it will look like.

My 9 year old son said, the Forest Green looks like we should be cruising around LA, while the LG we should be adventuring. Done! Decision has been made... now we just need to decide on 22's, or 20 A/T's. Decisions!

What do you all think of the R1S in LG? And, any opinion on the 22's vs 20's? We road trip up the 395 every year, rain, mild snow, paved, gravel, and dirt roads, and lots of city driving in traffic, with stretches of 70 MPH+ on broken cement freeways.
Thanks for doing this @Matty J !

I wonder what this would look like with black-out tires and the vertical strut in the back black as well - so the whole top 1/3 is all black. Any chance you could make that edit?

This is literally my configuration - thanks for posting it. It's going to look amazing with the black interior. I'm sold.

My PS skills are not very good... I'll see if my buddy can make a change as time permits.

These look much less washed out than the photoshopped version, which was admittedly using a night-time photo of LG in super-bright lighting as the starting point. The first image of these two could almost pass off as granite! I like that it has so much character, and looks moodier in indirect lighting (perfect for the PNW).

Edit: nope, created a frankenstein just like you ?:
