I SPRAYED MY TRUCK WITH RAPTOR LINER

[@Bryan916]

It turned out way better than I thought it would. It's actually not bad!

[@Steeles]

lol. Well thanks. It’s holding up good so far

[@freakyflow]

So i been doing autobody for 30+ years now And for a older truck The raptor liner saves a lot of work of scratches And ugly stuff I am going with the 4 bottle with hardener with a matching tint Your work was perfect Only tip on applying it after the first coat which was too close to each pass is : 2nd coat further back And wider laps above the next pass = Zero lines in the coats ...Other than that she looks good

[@Steeles]

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

[@christophjohnson3777]

I rebuilt my motorcycle after a wreck and sprayed it with raptor. Over a year later it's holding up great, and everybody that sees it compliments it.

12 to 18 inches away from the service to be painted is what the instructions will tell you, and it is highly advisable to follow those instructions in order to achieve best results with no lines and lots of uniform textured, as it was meant to be sprayed and look. it was fun to watch you'll get better... lol can't get worse really

I like the matte look, you did good with the rattle cans. I've got an old 1999 Chevy 1500 3 door cab pick-up I'm about to get ready as a hunting rig. It is white and would stick out like a sore thumb while coyote or hog hunting. I'm probably going to use the Raptor Liner in some sort of green and the matte finish will be great for night hunting.

[@Steeles]

Oh yea. That would look good.

[@jayadams5603]

I think you did a great job! And it looks good! Do you think it would adhere to fiberglass? I have a 20+ year old motorhome with a fiberglass front lower, and the paint is flaking off. I think this would be better and a lot cheaper than repainting.

[@Steeles]

I think it would be fine as long as you sanded it good. Probably 180 grit

@@Steeles listen I know that sounded harsh. But think about it. Why do you take the time to do the prep work. Sand it down wipe it down all that crap. Then you make a mistake In the painting and you create an overlaping line. And your solution to fix it is. "I'll go back over it with a continuous motion" this is where my comment comes into play. Do you honestly think that the over lap build up is only going to accept the new spay where it's not built up. No. The reason there is a line is because that's where 2 coats have been sprayed. Putting another coat on only makes it go from 1 coat to 2 coats. To 2 coats and 3 coats. There is a reason paint shops get crazy money for what they do.
