The first is the hardest...

I just dinged my tailgate. Full load of lumber with tailgate down. Backed into a sawhorse… oh well.

Ouch ?

I am glad I didn't PPF. The first time I went trailing I scratched most surfaces. Unless I PPFed every panel and trim there would be scratches somewhere.

I noticed some scratches from assembly in the tailgate jams. I took pictures to send to service, but in reality all I want is some touch up paint to dab on there so it doesn't corrode. There are some sites that sell touch up paints already, but I would be more comfortable with the match from Rivian directly. Hopefully they will offer that soon.

Maybe try the hot glue stick pull trick to pull the dent out and then touch up paint when it's available.

Fixed (dentless repair)

Has anyone heard if Rivian is selling paint for touch up?

A Rivian service tech/detailer applied some touch up paint in a few places on my truck during a service call.

OUCH.... I am so sorry to see that. Hope it gets fixed.

Got my truck yesterday. Driving home tonight from a friend's house, and a deer decided it's his time and bolts straight into the driver door of the truck.

Literally second day of ownership.

My heart goes out to you brother. Crazy that the deer ran into the side of the vehicle - hope it learned it’s lesson

Oh that deer is dead as dead gets. Was literally spinning in the road like a top after making contact.

Are you going to source the repair through Rivian or take it to a favorite local shop that you have experience with?

My wife and I were recently wondering how to best tackle a situation like yours should it arise.

I would prefer for Rivian to do the work. I'm going on a trip in a few weeks and will be gone for 10 days so my hope would be that Rivian can take it in then and do the work while I'm gone and get it billed to insurance. That would obviously be best case scenario but not sure if my insurance is going to want to arrange the shop through their network.
