another option is to get the bright 20s and powder coat it. gets you a similar glossy look for way cheaper.

Yep, that's one option. Currently thinking of getting the 21s for free and then using any $ saved to get after market second set of wheels/tires. 2 sets for the price of 1.

Do you mean that powder coating will not be able to achieve a translucent colored coat?

I’d like to know the story behind the hourly tracking on the white board.

I can't read all of it, but generally those are Production Analysis Boards. Each hour they have a plan for produced units through that production area. Then the team tracks "actual" and there's another column asking to document the reasons for being Ahead or Behind - usually titled something like "Please Explain" Helps them get better every day by eliminating / solving production issues.

There's actually translucent powder coat available in several colors, including "black chrome".

I just switched my color from Forest Green to Limestone.

Oh damn. Forest green is my current back-up. Or glacier white if I’m feeling real Karen-y.

These photos are great! I do like Limestone now, although I like LA Silver a little more. BUT- I'm actually leaning more toward Compass Yellow, purely because I know for certain that I'd be able to find it in a parking lot a helluva lot faster. Plus, I just like to be different. Are those dumb reasons? ?

I went the other way, Limestone to Forest Green. At least combined we won't mess up Rivian's manufacturing plans!

Thanks for sharing, super helpful. I added a 'transparent' filter to your second link, which pulls up all the black top coats that are transparent/translucent: https://www.prismaticpowders.com/sh...r=pris_black&finishes=pris_finish_transparent

I like the midnight frost option as well since the finish is satin vs. gloss.

yup, there are lots of options. dont know if it achieve exactly what the factory 20 AT darks are but it'll be similar and way cheaper.

I had this thought too but another thread indicated there are no aftermarket offerings due to the unique offset… as of now I’m going 20s
