Pre-Delivery Planning Planning Protection Before Delivery?

Most Rivian owners start planning protection before the vehicle arrives, and for good reason: the R1T and R1S carry more painted surface than almost anything else in your driveway, and the tall front end, wide arches and lower doors meet gravel and highway debris first.

As a select installer in the XPEL Rivian program, Exclusive Paint Protection helps owners protect the vehicle before the first highway miles.

Whether you are taking delivery of an R1T, an R1S or the new R2, our team can build a protection package that matches how you drive and how long you plan to keep it.

Why Choose Us Why Rivian Owners Choose Exclusive Paint Protection

Not all installers understand Rivian paint or Rivian panel sizes. Our team works exclusively with XPEL precision-cut patterns made for the R1T, R1S and R2, so film wraps edges cleanly without blades touching your paint, and the wide arches and lower door edges above the cladding are covered properly.

Why Exclusive Paint Protection? Boutique-Level Rivian Installation vs. High-Volume Shops

Rivian’s factory paint requires precision and patience. Here’s the difference between what you get at EPP versus a franchise tint chain or high-volume shop.

Vehicles rushed through to meet daily quotas
Work sometimes outsourced to third parties
Generic patterns not optimised for Rivian models
Edge and seam quality inconsistent
PPF treated as an afterthought to tinting
Limited accountability for long-term results

Your Rivian is never outsourced — ever
Nothing is rushed. Full attention every install.
Precision-cut XPEL patterns for each Rivian model
Clean seams, proper alignment, lasting durability
PPF is our primary specialty — not a side service
Backed by installer accountability and XPEL warranty

Paint Protection Benefits Why Rivian Owners Install Paint Protection Film

Protect Against Rock Chips

XPEL PPF absorbs impact from highway debris before it reaches your factory paint.

Preserve Factory Paint

Keep your original Rivian finish intact from day one of ownership.

Avoid Costly Repainting

Paint repairs on Rivians can run thousands. PPF is proactive, not reactive.

Maintain Resale Value

A protected finish is a documented selling point that commands higher resale prices.

Protect Daily Drivers

Built for everyday Charlotte and Lake Norman commutes where road hazards are constant.

Keep Your Rivian Looking New

XPEL’s self-healing technology means minor swirls and scuffs disappear on their own.

Common Questions
Rivian Paint Protection Film FAQ

How much does Rivian PPF cost?

Full Front is $1,995 and Full Vehicle is $5,995 for the R1T, R1S and R2, in gloss XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS or satin XPEL STEALTH. Lower door coverage adds $450, door sills $200, and the R2 rear bumper is $399.

How soon after delivery should I install PPF?

Before daily driving if you can. Highway debris does not wait, and film cannot cover a chip that is already there. Many Rivian owners book before delivery so the vehicle comes straight to us.

Which Rivian models do you protect?

The R1T, R1S and R2. We use XPEL’s Rivian-specific patterns for each, so nothing is hand-cut on your paint.

Full Front or Full Vehicle for a Rivian?

Full Front covers the highest-impact areas. The lower section of each door, where the bodyline changes above the cladding, takes tire spray and gravel, so we usually recommend adding lower door coverage for $450. Full Vehicle is right if you plan to keep the vehicle long term or want a satin STEALTH finish.

Does STEALTH cost more than gloss PPF?

No. Full Vehicle is $5,995 in either XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS (gloss) or XPEL STEALTH (satin).

Can I combine PPF with window tint and ceramic coating?

Yes. Most Rivian owners pair PPF with XPEL PRIME tint for the glass roof and XPEL FUSION PLUS coating over the film. All three can be done in one visit at either studio.

How long does Rivian PPF last?

XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS and STEALTH carry a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking, peeling and staining. We register it before you pick up.

Can PPF be removed later?

Yes. XPEL film removes cleanly from factory paint when done by a professional, which is one reason it protects trade-in value.
