[@KingRolandTheFirst]

Thanks for the informative video guys. The detail involved in your conversions is unreal.

We do love a crisp edge

[@vanlifeconversions]

Haha indeed

[@latentgoods4837]

Love this!

[@vanlifeconversions]

Thank you

[@Lifewithoutmusicisamistake]

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. 👌🏻

[@vanlifeconversions]

Great thanks, yes it helps to protect from that 👍

[@Lifewithoutmusicisamistake]

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. ❤

[@marrick92]

Absolutely brilliant, thanks for sharing the process 👌

[@vanlifeconversions]

Thank you! Cheers!

Did you not flat the original paint first?

[@Vandengils]

IT HAS LOOKED VERY VERY WELL, THE IMPRESSIVE CHANGE YOU GET IS AMAZING. IS ONE COAT OF PAINT ENOUGH?

[@vanlifeconversions]

Thanks so much, we did a couple of coats

[@typhoon420]

Raptor A. Volume - 3 parts RAPTOR - 1 part hardener - up to 10% color. By weight B. 100g RAPTOR - 30g hardener - up to 10g tint (3.5 oz RAPTOR - 1 oz hardener - up to 0.35 oz tint). Refer to online TDS sheet for additional quantities. C. 28 oz. RAPTOR (1 bottle) - 8.4 oz hardener - 3 oz tint. RAPTOR can be reduced up to 20%. When reducing RAPTOR, use a urethane based reducer.

[@vanlifeconversions]

Thanks for the comment

[@allancamba4664]

Did you have to sand the white paint to prep it? What kind of prepping did you do before actually painting the raptor paint?

[@CharlieMander843]

How much would something like this cost. Im not confident to do this myself. Looks great

[@mattgough6344]

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?

[@vanlifeconversions]

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

[@UnderwaterCarp]

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

[@vanlifeconversions]

We left the tape on each time

[@sibrenvanmanen8197]

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

[@laurenknight6107]

How many cans did you use for the whole job?

[@Jimmacdonald109]

Hi is this something you could do for us ?

[@vanlifeconversions]

Hi unfortunately we don't have capacity at the moment, we only do full conversions

[@pau1phi11ips]

​@@vanlifeconversionsshame, I was going to ask the same question. Awesome job dude.

[@nuasiw]

No priming? That's going to chip very badly

[@vanlifeconversions]

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 🙏

[@ktd2956]

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

“Want me to paint the exterior of your van with Floor Paint?”…..”err, no thanks!” “Want me to paint the exterior of your van with Raptor Paint?”……”wow, yes please!” It’s the same thing…….😂

[@vanlifeconversions]

Thanks for your comment

[@typhoon420]

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

[@vanpuravida]

Yes really great results 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🚐💚.

[@vanlifeconversions]
