What do you think of Kim Kardashian’s painted Tesla Cybertruck?

Kim Kardashian had her Tesla Cybertruck modified and even painted – a rare thing for the electric pickup truck.

Dope or nope?

Tesla is starting to ramp up cybertruck production significantly, with tens of thousands of them on US roads.

Unless the owner decides to modify their Cybertrucks after purchasing them from Tesla, they will all look the same because the only factory finish is the natural stainless steel of the vehicle’s body. This incentivizes aftermarket modifications.

We have seen plenty of wrapped Cybertrucks by now. It is the most popular way to change the truck’s color since stainless steel is difficult to paint.

But that didn’t stop Kim Kardashian.

The ultra-popular media personality has been an early Cybertruck owner, but she has now got hers modified (or bought a new one, unclear) and it is one of the most interesting aftermarket modifications that we have seen to date.

Platinum Motorsport Group, a LA-based custom vehicle tuner, unveiled the modified Cybertruck on their Instagram:

I'm interested in the technical aspect. Did they have to put a primer on to help the top coat adhere to the stainless steel? How durable is this? Will this inspire others to do likewise, rather than getting wraps? Just curious.

The most interesting thing about this is that it is the first, or one of the first, painted Tesla Cybertruck. Both the body and the trims were painted in a custom gray color, like most of Kardashian’s extensive car fleet.

The fact that the body and the trims, including the bumpers, which are normal black on the Cybertruck, were painted gray to match the body.

The Cybertruck also sports 26” Forgiato Travis Scott forged wheels, a stark contrast to the electric truck’s base 20″ wheels.
