I know you're a professional and I'm not trying to be a know it all or anything like that. I use rockit liner in the same way that you do for undercarriage or wheel wells etc. I have found that top coating the rockit with 2 coats of clear is the bees knees. Give it a shot sometime. I use like a Nason or Amtech cheap high solids clear and shoot 2-3 coats over the liner. Helps with cleanability and eliminates chemical streaking and UV fade down the line. The liner products like rockit and raptor are pretty susceptible to fade and chem streaks and they're a bitch to wash unless you can pressure wash em. The clear fixes all these issues and looks great too.

I think clean ability also depends on how it's sprayed. I personally like the "look" of a finer sprayed liner. However, spraying it heavier for a fatter peal cleans the easiest.

Another great video Travis. I've learned a lot from you and I appreciate all you do! Question....How long do you wait for epoxy primer to dry and what do you scuff it with before doing filler work on top of it?? Any help appreciated thanks
@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS9 ай бұрын
I give it a day to dry on like a traditional epoxy like DP90lv then scuff that with 120 grit apply filler and begin panel to panel blocking. We have a very specific method we use in our classes.
@chevelleranch74819 ай бұрын
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS Thanks Travis. I had a goofy experience with some DP74 and the filler not staying adhered. I know I let it dry for at least a week...scuffed with 80 and mixed 50 to 1 rage filler on a scale. A year after the top coat , it cracked in a few spots. Was not very thick either. When I chipped it off , the epoxy was dark red and looked wet. Just looking for some reassurance. Thanks for all your help

Great explanations and detail. One question…..that fine line and the 1 1/2” tape really sticks to the epoxied surface. What keeps it from pulling paint off when you pull the tape? Thanks
@jeremyr71479 ай бұрын
Proper preparation of the surface & cure time. If it pulls you did it wrong

Thanks!! If your substrate is prepped correctly non of it should pull off no matter the tape. If it does something below was not correctly applied.

Weep hole to where? If it goes into the interior it will rust out the floor. Even if you did that it still gets clogged by debris and dirt then it stays wet and causes same issue.

I don’t recommend it. Lizard skin is soft and way thicker. The raptor over it will crack it gets harder than the base material. I’d do lizard skin inside raptor on bottom
