How much does this run for the full PPF, tint and ceramic coat?

Fantastic! Have you seen the matte black LR Defender Urban did. Can't find the pics now but it was menacing! I would add the slim roof lights and fender flares for the full "Urban" look. Absolutely love what you did!

How much was powder coating the wheels? Less than $3500?
Powder coating wheels should cost $100-$150/wheel.

Now for the this PPF thing, don't know, no experience with it.

This is just ridiculous at this point. Seeing all the stealth pictures has me at square 1 colorwise for my R1S (I've got time). I was convinced Rivian Blue with 22s and then I'd get them powder coated because I won't pay 3500.

NOW?

I want to stealth wrap for sure, so I'm considering colors I'd never consider. I LOVE this stealth black. Love it. I need to see stealth Silver, Blue, and Limestone.

Is there a difference between these matte PPF jobs and just doing a matte vinyl wrap of any color? I’m thinking rather than spend $1500-2500 on paint plus another $2-3k (???) on PPF, why not get a free Rivian color and pick a custom vinyl color and save the difference?

Looks amazing!! This was my first option to config + PPF satin after delivery, but after seeing various colors in person this past weekend, I updated to Rivian Blue. I think PPF is still a must, but without it the midnight was way too meh and smudgy for what I had envisioned in person, plus a full car wrap would be so much on top.
I’ve been thinking black but have been tempted by Blue. Haven’t seen them in person. What changed your mind?

I have a frontal PPF and prices vary.

A front only PPF in my area runs $1500-$2000. A full PPF job will run a minimum of $5k to $9k. It all depends on the installer and the level of detail removing mouldings, emblems, etc,

The PPF wraps tend to be thicker and provide better protection than vinyl wraps. Also, PPF is probably closer to $5k-$6 for the entire car. It's very expensive, unless this is regional and its cheaper in some other locations.

Satin finish and factory PPF with a ceramic overcoat could be a nice money maker for Rivian.

Just ridiculously awesome! I’m sold on putting a coating on mine likely gloss with the forest green … at the end of 23 that is lol.
