Great work and videos,which make of primer paint have you used as their is so many and is it a 2k also the raptor paint looks good will definitely use on my mini floor
@velmathemini 7 күн бұрын
@paulp2129 thanks. The epoxy primer is upol, it's difficult not to get runs lol & it's 2k. In my garage at 18 degrees takes around 5 days to cure.

Nice video mate I like the way you are tackling the panels by section I think I'll be doing the same with mine. Fillers after epoxy is a great idea people don't realise the moisture that's in fillers.
@velmathemini 8 күн бұрын
@MiniDaly87 agreed with the filler. I probably should of investigated this a few years ago & put a new qtr on, but hey ho, I'm down that rabbit hole now. Yes I have to do it panel by panel due to the lack of space. A respray can become overwhelming & I feel if I just concentrate 1 panel at a time it's easier. Thanks for your comment 😀😀.

I used the tintable Raptor on our mini but the color was slightly off but its good stuff. Should protect it for a few years that. Id recommend doing the boot floor too, inside, the back of arches and the bulk head behind the engine
@velmathemini 28 күн бұрын
@@karlgt9989 I believe mine will be a shade off as well, but I'm fine with that. The protection the raptor will give out weighs the colour difference. It's definitely a good choice to use it. I'll be doing inside the boot & inside the car. I wasn't thinking of the bulkhead, but now you've mentioned it... I think it's a good idea. I've still got 3 bottles left & I'll save on base & clear if I use that.
