Popular Rivian R1S/R1T wrap styles for 2026

1. Satin olive or Compass Yellow-inspired tones. Earthy colors that suit the adventure styling; compare sheens in our satin vs matte vs gloss finishes guide.

2. Stealth PPF over factory paint. Keeps the original color and adds trail-rash protection; see our stealth wrap guide.

3. Blackout package. A chrome delete guide on trim plus gloss black roof and lower band for a darker look.

Special considerations for wrapping a Rivian R1S/R1T

Gear tunnel doors (R1T). The pass-through doors need wrapped edges and clean jamb work.
Light bar and stadium headlights. Film must be trimmed precisely around the full-width light bar.
Sensors and cameras. Front radar, Driver+ cameras and parking sensors must stay clear of film.
Flush handles. Pop-out handles must be wrapped around or removed carefully.
Off-road use. Trail scratches favor PPF on lower panels even when the rest is vinyl.

Vinyl vs color PPF on a Rivian R1S/R1T

Vinyl is a thinner cast film that changes the color with light UV and scuff protection; it is the cheaper path and removes cleanly when done right. Color PPF is a thicker self-healing urethane that resists rock chips and light scratches while changing color, a strong match for an adventure EV that sees gravel roads and trail brush. Read the full color PPF vs vinyl comparison before deciding.

Add-on prices

Add-on	Planning allowance	Notes

Installation, inspection and ownership

A full Rivian R1S/R1T wrap typically takes four to six working days including prep and post-heat. Inspect the vehicle in daylight at pickup: look along each edge for lifting, check seams, and confirm there are no knife marks on surrounding trim. Hand wash for the first two weeks, avoid automatic brushes, and keep pressure-washer tips away from edges. A film-safe ceramic coating makes upkeep easier.
