Rivian Wrap Installation Process
Our installers follow a rigorous 5-step process to ensure your Rivian wrap installation meets the highest standards:
- Vehicle Assessment & Design Consultation: We examine your Rivian's condition, discuss design preferences, and create digital mockups using your vehicle's specifications.
- Surface Preparation: The vehicle is thoroughly cleaned, and any necessary prep work is completed. Panel gaps are carefully measured to ensure design alignment.
- Vinyl Application: Our team applies premium 3M or Avery vinyl using heat guns and precision tools, working methodically to eliminate air bubbles and ensure adhesion on every contour.
- Detail Work: Trim pieces, mirrors, door handles, and camera lenses are carefully wrapped or masked according to your design specifications.
- Final Inspection & Quality Check: Every seam, edge, and wrap element is inspected under proper lighting to guarantee professional-grade results.

“Rivian EV Wrap Installation. What you are really paying for: we squeegee from the center out so no air ever gets trapped under the print. That is the standard on every vehicle that leaves our Lamon Avenue shop.”
What Makes an EV Install Different
Wrapping a Rivian is not the same job as wrapping a gas van, and the differences are in the details. Rivians carry cameras, sensors, and a charge port that all have to be trimmed around precisely so nothing is covered or impaired. Sloppy trimming around a sensor is both a function and a warranty problem, so this is done by hand, panel by panel.
The install happens in a climate-controlled bay because cast vinyl needs a stable temperature to bond correctly and cure bubble-free. That matters more, not less, on an EV with large flat panels where any lifting or bubbling would show. A wrap adds negligible weight and has no measurable effect on range or efficiency.
For Amazon DSP operators running Rivian EDVs, we stage multi-vehicle rollouts in batches so the operation never loses its whole fleet at once, and we handle free pickup and delivery across Chicagoland so drivers stay on route. Our team has wrapped 600 plus Rivians on-site at Rivian facilities.
