About this build

This Rivian R1T came through our Los Angeles studio as a electric platform build — EV-specific spec considerations come into play: glass curvature, charge-port edges, and the way battery heat moves through the cabin all factor into the install plan. The matte finish is the call when the owner wants the car to read low-profile under daylight and refuse to flash highlights at night. Multi-service builds are sequenced deliberately — one finish has to fully cure before the next one goes on top, so the schedule reflects that order.

This electric pickup received a matte protective film conversion together with ceramic tint to improve both exterior durability and cabin comfort. The matte layer changes the way the body reads in light while shielding the paint from chips and day-to-day wear. Because the truck combines clean modern surfacing with unusual panel geometry, the install had to stay precise across both flat and curved sections. The tint helps manage heat through the large glass area without changing the vehicle's overall design language. The finish settles most evenly across the hood, doors, and bed-side transitions.

What we used on this Rivian

Why these finishes were combined

Rivian builds with several finishes work when each layer is planned in sequence: paint protection film keeps the exterior factory-perfect against road debris and UV, while ceramic tint cuts the heat soak that California sun pushes into a closed cabin.

What to expect after the install

Every Rivian build at our Los Angeles studio includes a written aftercare brief and direct text-line access to the installer for the first month. Questions about your specific build — get a quote or call (424) 207-4435.
