K20 frame gets Raptor Liner

Experimenting with different Raptor Liner textures before spraying the frame of the K20

[@AbstractDreamz]

So glad I found this video. I much prefer the texture of the paint guns over the raptor gun. Great video! Thank you for sharing.

[@masonmainpage4105]

Much more informative than others I have seen. Thanks for your time making video

[@bethlangkamp6566]

Thanks for your time and experience for showing this.

[@michaelrobertson5207]

prefer a fine texture, especially when applying an entire vehicle. This is the look of the quality products of LineX. This no doubt works best modifying the tip of an HVLP gun. By also modifying the air cap it enables a good sized pattern at higher air pressures. I use a screw air compressor capable of much higher air pressures and unlimited quantity. Without an air cap to atomize the additional material flowing through the tip there is not the look you want over the supplied guns from Raptor

[@stephenhunter6507]

That comparison was impressive.

[@user-et3sv7gn8f]

The primer gun has a nice wider pattern the other gun was way to narrow and leaves like trails.

[@Toyman-rj9vy]

I was searching for a video like this. Awesome!!! I want to Raptor my F150 and im not a fan of the really course spray. HVLP 1.8 tip reduced 10% at 31PSI .. Thanks

[@quietspcs9336]

Thank you that's the video I was looking for 👍

[@kilogolfbravo9567]

I’m sure the higher the pressure then finer the finish. 30psi is to low you need 60psi.

[@nevadaboy9769]

That spray gun that comes with the cheaper Raptor kit is not adjustable, you would need the pricey $80 Raptor professional Upol 4880 vari- nozzle application gun then you can adjust the nozzle in and out for different textures!

[@RobertBrown876]

Does this protect the frame? Isnt tgis the stuff they put up north to "protect against rhe road salt and snow"? Yet wnds up locking in mosture and hidding the rust underneath?

[@tp5776]

I don't understand why people want raptor on the frame. I would prefer mud and dirt to slide off a slick paint than stick to a textured paint. Although the texture does hide shame (pitting) so that makes sense. good video.

[@skrsys]

Better abrasion resistance than paint, so less likely to rust in the future.

[@leerjet31]

Bc not everyone are putting their junk in mud 🤣 I did mine bc it's a street truck so I wanted more rust protection than anything

[@pskcatlet]

Thank you for this video!

[@Here-2-Learn]

Just curious if you had a bigger tip then tightened up the needle can’t you adjust it to get the right texture instead of using different guns? Get the max texture with the needle opened up and a fine texture with the needle closed in and just adjusting the air pressure as you go? That way you could have a decent fan for large areas and a small fan for tight areas I’m sure it’s all a big learning curve

[@MauricioBecerril]

Hi, what do you mean with "reduce to 10%" i want that finish but i still don´t understad how to prepare mix for it, thanks in advance.

[@PBMototsports]

How is the frame holding up? Im looking to do this to my 89 k3500 dually frame. I was told it likes to peel at the edges, have you had any issues like that?

[@dreelfishing3964]

What did you do to prep? I wanted to spray some abs plastic pieces but would love to do it on the car, hand sand?

[@U.S.SlaveOfficial]

I like the 8 minute mark one. I don't believe you said how u thinned, am I correct to assume paint thinner? also I thought the texture was partially to do with the compounds used in the material. if so did your gun with 1.8 tip seem to be getting clogged at all?

[@autorestorationvlog3935]

I used U-Pol's standard reducer (up2452) to thin it. I didn't have any issues with the primer gun getting clogged with the 1.8 tip. I would experiment with it, just to make sure it is what you want.

[@barbariansasquatch921]

How would screwing out the tip on the raptor gun change the pattern when its just a tube ?

[@nuclearbum9858]

it does nothing ...sprayed lots of this stuff i drilled my gun out at the end gave me a slightly wider pattern and i stay bout 18 inches away high pressure for the look i wanted

[@michaelrobertson5207]

Also when you say set at 26PSI, is this the setting before spraying material or 26 when the product is flowing. It always drops a few lbs

[@mustangdemon87]

Usually pressures givin are for usage ie: active spraying psi

[@loganl5545]

Do you think reducing it will affect its durability or uv rating.

[@autorestorationvlog3935]

I wouldn't think so. I believe they say in the instructions that it can be reduced up to 15%.

[@txknightrider82]

@@autorestorationvlog3935 is that with regular urethane reducer ??

[@Trlhound]

What did you use for reducer?

[@BlacksheepShaving]

What did you use to clean your gun after spraying the Upol?

[@autorestorationvlog3935]

I use thinner, but their tech sheet says you can use acetone.

[@MrDjmurdock]

Can you put a link for the gun ?

[@xXxBUNDIExXx]

Looks like a 73-80 chev pickup hood

[@autorestorationvlog3935]

Yep. It's the hood of the '75 k20. I am going to end up replacing every piece sheet metal on the thing

@@autorestorationvlog3935 nice!! Cant wait to see the end result!!! Curiosity, where are you getting your panels? I've got a 78 gmc c10 and looking to replace some too. Hood, box and kicks. Do you trust LMC? I've heard good and bad.

[@1godgodgodgodgod]

Does it stick that good?

[@shawnbonitto4767]

What gun are you using and do they come with the 1.8 and 2.2 tips?

[@autorestorationvlog3935]

I use the Devilbiss Finish Line flg4 for spraying all of my high build primers. It did come with a 1.8 and a 2.2 tip. I'm debating on getting 3M's new disposable gun system for doing all of my high Build primers though

[@Tonyrd3000]

How much Raptor did it take to do the frame? I am looking at doing a 1993 F150 Supercrew frame with it

[@autorestorationvlog3935]

I wasted almost a liter doing those experiments and I was still able to get the frame fine with the remainder of the 4 liter kit. I would think you could do that frame with one 4 liter kit.

I media blast all of the steel that is to be raptor lined. For plastic, I would clean it with wax and grease remover, scuff it with a red Scotch-Brite pad and use an adhesion promoter like U-Pol's up0799

[@dreelfishing3964]

Auto Restoration Vlog awesome. Yea I’m about to switch to Raptor stuff, I tried the duplicolor bed armor and used the red scotch pad but it didn’t seem to really scuff anything so I wasn’t sure if it was just the duplicolor stuff or the sanding
