Rattled it all matte black. These are the 21” wheels and they look so much better all black.

The blacked out looked is so nice! Did I powder coat your wheels? How did u back out the bumper? Is it wrapped?

Did you buy generic center caps from Amazon? With the TWRAPS decals on the center caps, the 21” wheels in black actually aren’t bad! Hmmmmm……maybe I’ll change from 22” wheels to 21” wheels to try and get my truck sooner!!

Rattle canned them all. Just prepped and cleaned the tires and bumper really well.

One wheel at a time and masked off the whole whole bumper/ back of the truck so I had no overspray.

Took a whole day.

Tailgate needs a rivian compass in the middle of it, at least

I like the matte wheels, nice job! I usually rattle can everything with rustoleum pro, but I'm dropping my wheels off at the powder coater today. I think I'm going with semi or satin black powder. Flat is so hard to maintain, but damn it looks good.

Who makes that truck? :CWL:

Carmelbythesea · Jul 5, 2022

I've had flat black on my Tesla Model Y for 2 plus years. No problems.

Actually I will say its better for maintenance. I had a model 3 and got the T sportline wheels(satin black) and my wife curbed them a few times. Was much harder to correct ended up with a black sharpie.

The matte black rattle spray. They have held up amazing. I can spot treat them and had no problem cleaning them. Below 2 years later haven't had to touch them and took them off road daily.

Trucks looks really cool.
Wheels finish is good but the bumper could use a bit more attention (however no one will ever pay attention so who cares).

goldburger · Jul 5, 2022

any chance you can post a pic with the aero covers installed?

Carmelbythesea · Jul 5, 2022

It’s black - think the photos have a bit of glare

With the black paint? To much work to pop the center cap out. Need to take the wheel off.
I can prop it up and take a photo. Probably over the weekend. Covers are already in storage.
