Calipers not yellow?

[Joel]

You're not driving hard enough.

Or long enough downhill to have limited or no regen. Then you need brakes sadly.

If you really want yellow calipers (I would) a company called, “G2 Caliper Paint” is an amazing, durable and easy-to-use paint. Put it on an ‘09 M3..still looks factory.

I used their paint on my Tesla calipers and they turned out perfect. My only question is on the color yellow. Is the stock yellow correct? Or should it match the yellow paint from the car? G2 can match that paint as well.

Ya know, I’m wondering if it really matters? To somebody glancing at the wheels, saying “ cool calipers!” ..I wonder if it really needs to be an exact match?

I don't think it needs to be exact, but it can't be WAY off. That's my fear. I assume the stock yellow is correct, but I don't want it to look super wrong after the fact.

Having said that, Imagree that this is GREAT caliper paint. Bright red on an old M3 still shines after 13 years!

Also, will Rivian supply replacement decals for the calipers? I know they have them, but will they supply them...

They aren’t decals. The logo is painted.

Yeah, it is definitely not a highlighted content on the R1T homepage

The 'RIVIAN' letters on your front doors and the 'R1T" on your tailgate should be without yellow outline. If I recall correctly your frunk hood badge has the outline. Quad motor versions have all the letters outlined as well.

The information concerning the color change was listed in Rivian communications when they launched. Where it lives now, not sure.

These don't look too different, and they look great.
