Raptor Liner Thread

We are doing 2 tone. Black roof with Tiffany blue for the body. So having sharp lines is a must.

Hopefully we can get a decent cure. I will try to apply some tape on an inconspicuous area and see how it does!

I read every FAQ/instruction manual I could find. Nothing mentioned. As I said just above, I’m gonna try to mask over some inconspicuous area and see how it turns out. It was tacked up and practically touchable 30 minutes after spraying.

And I agree with you on the warmer weather.. We picked up one of these bad boys! It’s awesome! 200,000 BTU

 

I Raptor lined a 4Wheel Camper two-tone. White roof, silver body. It was a couple of nice summer days in the 70's and I believe the roof cured to back-mask it in 24 hours. Just keep your space heated and check an inconspicuous area (as you both mentioned) and you should be fine.

 

Fingers crossed! Gonna go fire up the propane cannon shortly. It was only like 25 overnight..

 

It dried well overnight, we taped over the freshly lined roof, and this is our result!

 

Looks awesome hombre
What'd be even awesomer is if you're related to Fedor with that last name

 

mighty nice!

 

Whoa! That's Super Fine! Making me excited to get to my truck this spring. Very nice job. Did you use the gun provided with the kit? If so, what psi were you running?

 

Thank you! And nah, I’m just little old emelianenkov.

Why thank you! It was a super easy process, just follow instructions and it’s virtually impossible to screw up!

I used the gun that came in the kit. We were using a 21 gallon Kobalt compressor which did alright, though it didn’t have the volume to keep running under load for a super long time, so be mindful of your pressure as you’re spraying. I had a pressure regulator on the gun to monitor. I ran it at 65 psi because we were going for a mild texture.

 

I raptor lined my 1st gen and did some camo air brush over the Raptor. The job was easy enough as this was my 1st ever paint work. Watch some you tube video and read all instructions and follow and you'll be fine. Masking is critical.

 

So we do have a thread. @lowinhz and I just got done with the 1st coat on his YJ waiting for flash to do the next. Next we are going to strip my Tacoma down and get started on it in the coming months.

 

Did you ever do this? I’m wanting to color match my camper shell aswell just looking to see if anyone else has done it and how it turned out.

 

No I ended up doing a single-stage acrylic. It turned out ok.

Since then, though, I've Raptor lined F/R Bumpers and sliders with solid results.

 

I did Raptor Liner on my 2012 composite bed and it turned out great - will see ho wit lasts. Used the UPOL adhesion promotor.
Pics are: Before, prepped, finished

 

Subbed because I really want to do my truck this Summer lol

 

Doing this Saturday, question for the folks who have lined their truck already. Think a 20-gallon air compressor that runs 7.1 cfm at 100psi is enough? I know it recommends 8, but I’m going for finer texture and wasn’t sure if that’ll suffice for spraying more around 35-50.

Any advice greatly appreciated, and yes the bed is super duper prepped.

 

The answer is yes for anyone with the same concerns. Shot at more like 50-60. Compressor more than handled the job.

 

thinking of doing this on my second gen composite bed. How’s it holding up after a few months?

 

I've had my doors painted with raptor liner in a can for a couple weeks. I can't peel it off and it wont rub off. It's very good for a spray can! I prepped them with 80 grit on a DA and a red scotch bite. Then 1k etch prime in a can.

 

Bought 2 cans of aerosol Raptor Liner, will probably buy 2 more before I spray the steps on my truck. I hope this stuff sticks to the textured powder coat that’s on them.

 

If you are worried, get a can of adhesion promoter too.
