That looks really good! What a brilliant idea for off roading. The paint job on my van was ruined by kicked up stones from on coming traffic. 👌🏻

I have just googled it, as I have never heard of it before. It comes in different colours 🙌🏻 absolutely brilliant. I had a lilac skirt and white top. I would definitely consider this in my next van. ❤

Did you have to sand the white paint to prep it? What kind of prepping did you do before actually painting the raptor paint?
@CharlieMander8435 ай бұрын
How much would something like this cost. Im not confident to do this myself. Looks great
@mattgough6344Ай бұрын
are you removing and re-applying the thin blue tape between each coat? You mention that you apply three coats, 45min between coats and must remove the tape within that 45min. Just wondering if you remove and re-apply or stack three layers in the beginning?
@vanlifeconversionsАй бұрын
So we do a light dust coat, wait 45mins, do a proper coat, then remove the blue tape. Then assess it, if you are doing a dark colour on a white van you will likely need to tape up again and repeat a coat or two. If you end up leaving it much longer then an hour between coats it would be worth scotching it up again between coats

No priming? That's going to chip very badly
@vanlifeconversionsАй бұрын
Thank you for your comment, we do need to release another video showing the preparation stage before spraying. We keyed up the paint surface using a D.A and scotched all the difficult to reach areas (curves) before panel wiping off the residue with a tack cloth. Then we set about applying the raptor. Thank you for pointing out that this step was missing in this video 🙏

Raptor does not need primer,just rub down body with 80/120. It only needs a "primer" coat on plastic trim.
@laurenknight61072 ай бұрын

@UnderwaterCarp8 ай бұрын
Nice work! I love it! So do you need to tape evrything again between layers?

So only remove the fine line tape once within 45 mins after third coat?

10 bottle of raptor paint not enough you should use 100 litre 😂😂😂 it’s just a bullshit 4 litre kit more than enough
