I have done this twice now. Use the reducer to thin it by about 10%. Spray it at the highest pressure (60psi) and regulate it at the gun, not the tank. Then spray it far away (18 - 24 in) and in 3 coats. First coat should give about 50% coverage. You want it too be thin so it fits in the gaps and door hinges well. This will result in a fine texture that is just as durable as a traditional bed liner.

The issue with the look of bedliner (coming from a person that has used raptor liner alot) is the spraying technique. If youre heavy with your sprays while using a dark color you will see every stroke (like matte auto paint). Lighter colors do a better job than darker colors at hiding it. My personal approach is to get the color coverage on the first coat then on the second and third coats i step back and do light mists with even, feathered off coats to smooth the texture and it gives good results.

To spray or not to spray, that is the question! Some vehicles look better with this liner as a topcoat, and some don't. I think these small'ish pickup's do look better with the coating, especially if they'are going to be used for the great outdoors. This one, shown here does look good,...but I have a little tip that some may find helpful, when you use a spray gun, any spray gun to paint a surface, try to keep the gun/nozzle help at a 90 degrees to that surface. Doing that will help minimize 'thin looking' edges to the paint or coating ( as in this case ) In other words holding the gun at 90 degrees will stop the 'fanning' effect of the paint, especially at the end of a panel. Interesting video Kase, thanks!

Did a hail damaged 2017 GMC Sierra and 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander with Raptor in my tent garage. Its great in that you can do quick, rough body filler on the dents and not worry about it being perfect as the liner covers over any small scratches and imperfections. I did use a 2k primer first however since you can't apply the raptor liner directly over the body filler. Still far cheaper and quicker then the $10000 to $15000 and the 3 to 4 weeks I was quoted by body shops for a normal restoration with factory paint.

The Monstaliner texture can be controlled to a large extent by the application technique so I should be able to match the light pebble surface of the dash. Monstaliner has no chopped rubber to provide texture. The texture is created by how the material is applied.

Additionally if for some reason you want a body shop to apply it... not so easy. Because they will not do it in thier booth... clogs things up... and if you have a body shop remove the product for a repaint... costly. Keep some for use in case of future repair... and you have to repair or replace a body panel. Some people clear coat or ceramic over the surface...just to enhance the color. But... it is a great finish to use affordable and durable, for a off road vehicle and in harsh weather climates... snow and the such. The other runner up is a wrap.

@tedhook93852 жыл бұрын
@@sydneyzier7642 I love the texture, and you can paint over it with some clear to make it really shiny, or add some pigments for different effects. I would recommend it. Make sure you are prepping very well. Ensure you sand everything really well, tape off or remove things you dont want painted over. Its a simple process, but can be stressful if you're a first timer. Bedliner is very easy to work with.

I Raptor Lined my 1988 Ford Bronco. Used a $100 compressor. It is awesome! Blacked out all chrome, grille, badges, and top in heavy textured Black and the body and cab in Granite Grey using the adjustable sprayer for a finer texture. I would sell as is. Nothing but eyes on my Bronco it looks so good. Caught a guy the other day taking photos. I removed my doors and taped and painted all interior surfaces Black plus Clear coat to make clear lines when the door was opened. Did the whole project under a $100 Harbour Freight cover. Oops a bug...Spray over it..gone. Cons... Unlike the vid commentary, using the adj sprayer for a fine texture will show slight dents and other irregularities, but only at certain angles and at a certain light. Too bad I cannot post photos here.

That sand colored Tacoma looks good. It'd look better with an hour of Bondo work before applying the bed liner. It's hilarious that the body has bed liner but there's no bed liner in the bed. I'm old and don't have much mojo. I've been prepping my 1996 Hijet for a Monstaliner bed liner paint job for over a week, an hour here, an hour there. Today was going to be the big day but I got a late start again and balked. I'm going to take Monstaliner's advice and wait for two good weather days next week, do all the masking the night before and have the entire day after that to apply the bed liner. I'm painting the interior and exterior, but that was too much to do in a day, so I'll paint the outside, then paint the inside and the two ammo can tool boxes (inside and outside) the following week.

I'm the original owner of a '95 4WD Suburban, and Texas heat has taken a toll on most external soft parts. My fender flares were taking a beating and I just recently coated them with black Raptor, which made a heck of a difference. Since some of the paint is peeling, I'm now considering doing the entire truck. The tan Tacoma looks really good...just wondering how the Suburban would look since its a much larger vehicle.

I'm definitely into this, if textured right, washing it is not an issue, I have a Jeep xj, and simply did spray out of w can on just the front and down the lower sides of the panels, it washes awesome and is a thinner texture but still textured, it's also a black liner spray out of a can, it's been on almost three years and it has chipped in some places but overall has actually held up surprisingly with just out of a can, my question is , I plan to do a raptor line on other parts of the Jeep including respraying over top of what I did from the can, so I wonder if you could spray over top of what I have already done because I want the same color which is black and I wonder if it would be fine . Again the reliability of it is awesome and if you have a Jeep or off-road vehicle then this is a great option .it completely eliminates the scratching of tree limbs, and looks great.

The bedliner sprayed Tacomas look awesome in drab colors. since the trucks last forever its worth putting on a good durable coating, especially if you take it through the bush. if the paint on my 2nd gen off-road ever starts to fade or crack, i am spraying it.

Watching this after having bedlined my Tacoma red and black. I used the same kind, the company is called U-Pol and the product is called Raptor Liner. You can apply vinyl decals if you use a heat gun. Also if/when you do the bed, get some sand blasting sand and mix in with bedliner to make it more grippy.

Not a good idea, it really depends on the material underneath but it's known to dramatically accelerating rust. Sooner or later a rock will punch a small hole through it. Once that happens moisture will attract and build up underneath causing more rust and the coating to slowly separate. In the early '90s it was popular for folks to spray bed liner on the undercarriage. Soon folks realized it was not a goof alternative to oil coatings and made the problem of body/frame rust significantly worse. It depends tho on the climate and the material under it to a very large degree.

Unless you can dip and fully submerge your whole vehicle in the bed liner it's not really effective because it will rust underneath the liner and you won't be able to see it rusting until it's too late. But it looks cool. Kinda

So we do specialty coatings, and with the right product it doesn’t fade like paint will. Raptor is not UV stabilized and will fade and chalk over time. One person came to us after his started chipping away after 6 months. We do a different process and it’s durable, cost effective compared to paint. And we have it on our own trucks and abuse the crap out of the coating. After a wash it looks like the day we sprayed it. Just saying anything looks good in video

If you have the money and want to be able to revert back to stock/paint there is a way. You could cover the entire surface that's to be covered in a clear film, like 3M, then spray the liner on top of that. It would add thousands more to the job but allow for a removable and durable film. But that would be a lot of money.
