When you got the paint did you just use your paint code from van? I have a similar colored k5 and I’m only wanting to do a portion in raptor and the rest in the same color paint

[@DonnieDispersed]

@@AlaskaNards yes, I took the color code into the paint supplier.

[@AlaskaNards]

Kick ass nice work

[@smartassjeff1]

I did my Rubicon a couple years ago. How have you addressed chips that have happened?

[@immelting9834]

You sure went the extra step, and it shows . Removing all those little pieces was a good idea

[@kennethsmith4831]

@ 19:54 huge respect for that line to tie your emblems into the paint scheme!

[@BMGProjects]

You have done an excellent job! Great prep work and attention to details!

[@KarlaW1475]

What an amazing job, I love it. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to fill and explain through your materials. I got an Ford 1971 Econoline and I wasn't sure if I could do this but now I am. Thanks!

[@philipketchell8369]

Mate....you did a great job, all the best from the UK 🇬🇧.

[@antigroundhogday]

A really wonderful job with the painting and the documenting. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@karenk3593]

Wow. You've done incredible work on this van. I hope it rewards you with many years of service.

[@HappyPlaceCamping]

Well. I had a super long and amusing comment all typed out, but then KZbin decided to jump to a commercial which caused me to click on something and go to a whole other video and it wiped out my entire comment. That really ticks me off! The gist was Jessie laughed at you calling it a sh**house and me never imagining that I would call an outhouse fancy 😆It really did turn out so pretty and I love it (yeah that sounds a little weird to say).

[@jaynewarriner7214]

That is so classy looking now! Nicely done!

[@AstroVanTribe]

A lot of work.... I can't believe you didn't hammer out that dent in the front fender, you could have gotten that to look a lot better even if not perfect - Thanks for making the video, a lot of us want to do this, too - Overall it turned out real well, good job

[@stevebrown1997]

Beautiful, I keep trying and failing to get that clean of a line on my van.

[@geobus3307]

Your demonstration of how you "bedlined" your vehicle is the most useful presentaion on the topic I have come across in my extensive U-tube research. Obviously, it holds a particular appeal to owners of vintage vans. In my case, your guidance has persuaded me to modify my bedliner project. I have decided to attempt a more subtle paint texture on my 1995 turtle-topped, extended Dodge B3500. I intended to pull the trigger on the spray painting today. However, based on your input, I have decided to do some additional sanding, increase the air compressor output and see if I can duplicate your texture results. Thanks again for your down to earth, comprehensive guidance .

[@defnotteek]

Great how to vod and awesome outcome man

[@brentmitchel3167]

Very smart using trash bags, seems a lot easier then tape. Thanks!

[@Tom-xp7dl]

And man look at that baby moons to boot. Great job and great video.👍

[@iSleepDoc]

Amazing….indeed one of the best video on raptor👏👏👏👏 Thanks for going into so many important points and lots of tips🙏🙏🙏

[@mustl0veshoes]

This was extremely thorough and helpful!! Thank you for taking the time to make a video on it. We bought a 92 Econoline and are likely going to be doing the same. Appreciate all the info!

[@forester_overland_nz]

Looks pretty cool and tough!

[@gadgetprepper8039]

Yooo! That was a awesome video. I'm fully motivated to painting my van now. That product works great 👍🏿

[@johnnyreb8030]

Fine job, Ideas flowing now.

[@gazbygazby]

Great video. I couldn't find how long to leave it before faking the tape off, thank you, love the van

[@nmartin5551]

That’s a great classic look on your van! Excellent! Thanks for sharing!

[@maureenwalsh8752]

Great video! Could you post the what and where for the shelter you used for your van? I have a 1986 RAM B250 and will need a good shelter for her as I work on her. Thank you!

[@matthewputnam4994]

really great job man!!

[@Matthew2414a]

It's been two years since you uploaded this video. Great job! How is it holding up under use?

[@lisafleming9603]

Thank you for your personable instruction.

[@trento8397]

Oh no! What have you done to your van?

[@misfit_lifestyle]

Wanting to do this on my hightop g20 was just going through videos and I stumble on this. Same rig except mines 4x4 thanks for the inspiration I live the two tone!!

[@misfit_lifestyle]

Also thank you for saving me all the math :)

[@taylormoore4991]

Looks awesome! God bless! Thanks for the tips brother!

[@JohnnyAtlas]

Wish i had used adhesion products. Especially around edges, door handle and lower body chip prone areas. Nice video

[@marcmmclellan]

You did this outside in the sun? I would want to have someone supervise that knows what they are doing. Just curious how long start to finish? Was there a ton of overspray? I really want this done but don’t want to pay someone $3000 to $6000…

[@HomeGrownCountryGirl]

Excellent job, looks incredible!

[@dannyfubar3099]

Excellent post, thank you for sharing.

[@davidpatrick1813]

I need to see how you did your top. My rig needs the fiberglass top painted but the metal body of the van is good already.

[@partygrasdj]

I was curious how the Raptor Liner has held up over the last two years. Any rust, chips or cracking? Thanks

[@jonboy9912]

Such a good job you should have hired a slide hammer to get the dent out of the front wing.

[@M.D.Jones87]

Excellent job

[@toddjohnson7340]

guy I work with and his buddy are doing the Gambler 500. They are in the Herbie bug.

[@Merlinsluck]

Phenomenal paint job. I am getting ready to do my van a tan raptor color and black for the front and rear numbers. The lower portion of the van wheel area will be black all the way down. May I ask why you waited an hour and then 3 days? I have seen a few videos where they wait 20 minutes and apply a second coat. Were 3 days necessary before you started the blue coat? Great looking van. It shows you took your time.

[@DonnieDispersed]

I waited an hour between each coat. And three days before the blue so the white would completely cure before I put tape on it. Just played it safe.

[@rolling_heavy]

Thank you for this video, man. I have an '88 GMC Vandura with flaking and weathered paint and was looking for a cost-effective solution to give it a fresh look. This is fantastic to me because you basically have the same van. Thanks again and sick van!

[@homiethefish]

Looking sharp! The work on the grill really paid off. I had to rewatch the after footage to notice the front driver fender damage. When do we get to see some camping?

[@DonnieDispersed]

Thanks! Leaving in the morning for the Gambler 500 👍 doing 3 days off road from the desert to the coast.

Amazing transformation. Would you mind sharing the color code for the blue? I have a kei truck I wanna cover and this color is amazing! Thanks

Oh my this is the same camper van i just got is yours a 1990 dodge ram wagon?

[@coreytaft4760]

Thanks for showing that you can match the OEM color. Now my options are limitless... thought I was going to have choose from black, green, or tan. So how has the white held up? I heard that color gets dingy over time?!

[@DonnieDispersed]

Looks fine so far. I just blast it with a pressure washer and it gets clean really easily.

[@cakins08]

Super nice job bro

[@RawFeeding101]

WOW! Looks soooo much better. :)

[@rockod8880]

Great video

[@rdog3507]

Awesome job man! I'm getting ready to do my Ram 2500. What size compressor did you use?

[@DonnieDispersed]

Thanks! 30 gallon

[@r.t.5425]

Excellent job, bro

[@rickvooys6657]

Great video! Exactly what I was looking for, what kind of compressor did you use for the spraying?

[@DonnieDispersed]

Husky I think it’s a 30 gal

[@garym071]

so you used a total of 8 quarts to do entire van, except the roof ?

[@444_gd]

Great job man.

Love it man

Nice video and paint job! Looking to do a cammo raptor liner paint on a 2001 Jeep XJ.

[@jasonlee-os1qi]

Awesome!!

[@Yugo-CA]

so I have a G30 95 and when you finished talking about how much surface area your van was you did not state how much product you needed to buy. Can you please share that?

[@DonnieDispersed]

I mention it in the beginning of the video 👍 10 liters

[@xxakli]

Looks great bro!

[@Vixen89]

Nice job. I've been thinking about raptor painting my white Vixen camper van but was concerned about how easy it is to keep the white part of the body clean. Do you wash it like you would a normal car? Does the dirt cling to the textured surface more than it would a smooth surface? How has the finish weathered over the last two years? And finally, any impact on gas mileage?

[@DonnieDispersed]

I’ve since sold the van, but it was easy to clean. Just used an electric pressure washer. Can’t say I noticed a difference in mpg.

[@armando5742]

I have 88 Chevy van 20 .. camper.. and that is my plan

[@brandonbarber8142]

Hey, how many liters of the raptor liner did you end up using I’m looking to do a work can later in the year and I’m curious as to how much I’ll need!

[@DonnieDispersed]

I used 10 liters

[@kennethsmith4831]

Why not use a body filler to get rid of that dent in the fender?

[@thetonyplush]

Looks good. What air compressor did you use? Also what Facebook Group are you citing?

[@DonnieDispersed]

We have a 30 gallon Husky Pro compressor. The facebook group is called "Raptor Liner coated Vehicles".

[@DavidTrevino15]

Love this. Thanks for all the tips. One question, how do you remove the side emblems? It looks like 3 holes, do they have nuts on the inside?

[@DonnieDispersed]

Mine did have bolts

[@stephenenright8428]

Nice job mate ,

[@zumezoom9593]

the lower the number grit is coarser or is it the other way around? what if I wanted to sand off the raptor liner or do a touch up?

[@jimmysworld3093]

I did the same thing with my g30 dude!!

[@Casting2Catch]

I have the same van in the same color. I’m wanting to do the same thing you did. How many kits did you use for the entire van ?

[@Downirvana]

Hey! Very helpful video! My wife and I will be raptor lining our '73 chevy van 20 (looks just like this, with the topper as well!) and we are curious as to how many cans of primer you ended up using? Thanks!

[@DonnieDispersed]

I think I used about 3 cans of primer 👍

[@N3pea]

Have you noticed any insulating effects since doing this?

[@ufuk_yesildag]

How many bottles did you use?

[@demolitionbmxd]

Looks great man. I couldn't quite make it out on the paper but would you mind sharing how much you needed/used? I have a similar sized econoline van with a hightop but also don't need to do the hightop itself.

[@DonnieDispersed]

I ended up using 10 liters 👍

[@demolitionbmxd]

@@DonnieDispersed Awesome, thanks man!

[@jamesfell8869]

Excellent video! How did you calculate how much color to suck up with the syringe?

[@DonnieDispersed]

It’s in the instructions. 3oz of tint per liter of bedliner.

[@finball70]

Thanks for the great video. Alot of work put into the video, let alone the paint job. Thanks for taking the time to do it! I have a 1989 G20 and I'm interested in the type of headlights you have. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

They are from United Pacific. I got them on amazon amzn.to/3zrdI4z

[@DonnieDispersed]

@@finball70 I’ve had them for a few months now. I love them. The low beam projector has a great beam cutoff and the high beam reflector lens is very bright especially for halogen bulbs. I tried some led bulbs in the projectors and they weren’t nearly as good as the halogens they came with.

[@DonnieDispersed]

@@finball70 I did have to modify the headlight buckets a little to make them fit. But it only took a couple mins with some tin snips.
