My silver R1T was one of the trucks that had pretty bad tiger striping on the hood. Finally received it back from service yesterday and it looks perfect! Have to wait 2 weeks now to have the hood re wrapped (hence no hood emblem - and why the rest of the truck is matte). Rivian also replaced the rear window which had some weird scratches and paint splotches. Hopefully I can just enjoy the crap out of it now! Kudos to Rivian service. It took a while, but they made everything right!

Check on newer VINS. This one on autotrader is #3124 and has them still.

I'm assuming that Rivian is well aware of the LA Silver paint issues at this point. Did you by chance hear anything from them on whether they are working on fixing this at the factory yet? I haven't seen many reports of people taking delivery on LA Silver trucks recently, so wondering if perhaps this is still an issue that is now delaying delivery.

They repainted the entire hood. No other option. They are in the clear coat.

Not sure. I'm still seeing them on some silver R1Ts on Facebook. Also saw a Gray one as well. The lighting has to be just right to spot it. I honestly would have never known if Dave did not report his on here. I'm sure they will get it worked out, but I don't know if that has happened yet.

I’ve got some striping effect on the hood of my launch green R1T. It’s only visible in direct sunlight and almost looks like a buffer was run across it in a zigzag but not overlapping pattern. You really have to look for it to see it, but I’m gonna ask the service guys about it when it’s in for a couple of other minor f&f issue week after next.

You can sort of see it in this pic.
