I’m thinking about customizing my Rivian R1S with a matte black finish and I’d love to get some feedback from anyone who has gone down this road before.

Questions I have:

  • How does matte black hold up over time? Does it scratch easily or require special maintenance?
  • What wrapping technique did you use? Or did you go for a full repaint?
  • Any tips on where to get the best wrap? I’m looking for places that offer quality work without breaking the bank.

Inspiration Needed:

If you have any photos of your matte black R1S, post them here! I’m sure your vehicle looks fantastic and I’d love to see how it turned out.

General Thoughts:

I’ve seen a couple of matte black vehicles around, and they really stand out. I’m looking to make my R1S unique and would appreciate any insights or experiences you all have. Let’s discuss!

Totally agree! The matte black finish really highlights the unique angles of the R1S. It’s like a work of art on wheels!

I think matte black is a great choice, but I wonder how it holds up against scratches compared to gloss finishes. Anyone experienced that?

5

That’s a valid point! I’ve heard matte finishes can be harder to keep looking pristine. How do people manage that?

6

Matte black definitely makes the R1S stand out! It looks way more stylish than the factory colors. Can anyone post their wrapped vehicles here?

7

I’ve seen some wraps that are glossy as well, but matte gives that understated elegance, don’t you think?

8

I’m not a fan of matte finishes in general. They seem less vibrant than glossy ones. Does anyone else feel that way?

9

I understand that perspective, but the matte looks more stealthy and luxurious. It really embodies the adventure spirit of the Rivian!

Does anyone have side-by-side pics of the matte black R1S with other color options? I’d love to see a comparison!

11

Great idea! That would help people who are on the fence about wrapping it. Let’s see those comparisons!

I once joked that the matte finish makes it look like the R1S just rolled out from a science fiction movie! But seriously, it does enhance its unique design.

13

Haha, great point! You can definitely feel that futuristic vibe when it’s wrapped up. Makes it more appealing!

14

I love how the matte black can hide dirt better than gloss finishes. It’s practically low-maintenance for outdoor adventures!

15

Absolutely! And after a fun off-road trip, the matte look feels more rugged instead of polished.

Matte black does have that distinctive touch, but I just wonder if it will still feel fresh in a few years. Anyone with long-term experience with it?

I wrapped my R1S in matte black about a year ago. The finish is still holding up great, but I’ve noticed minor scratches that are visible from certain angles. Just be careful during washing!

18

Thanks for sharing, Cody! I’ve heard that matte finishes can be tricky to clean. Any advice on maintenance?

I use a special matte finish cleaner to wash mine. It works really well without leaving any shine. I’ve had it for six months now with no fading yet!

I need to get that cleaner! I love the matte look but hate the thought of it getting scratched.
