    Picked up a used tan ARE Z Series the other day. Got it sanded and painted with Raptor Liner. Turned out fantastic. Just wanted to share if anyone was considering something similar.

    Looks great! I'm looking at doing the same thing to a mismatched topper I picked up. What size compressor did you use and what psi did you spray at? Any tips you would recommend to get nice finish like you achieved?

    I actually paid a professional painter to do the work, since I was afraid if I tried it, the result would be really inconsistent texture. He removed all the windows, sanded things well, masked and sprayed it. Thats all I really know.

    Most shops who do automotive paint work and/or bed liner can do it. If you are in Denver I can give you my guys info.

    There are a million automotive paint shops in SF / Oakland. I’m sure most of them could help you out…

    Yeah. You’d think that. But after more hours than I care to count and a few visited, I’m getting NO HELP. That’s why I turned here. I’m a pretty solid researcher and wouldn’t post until I felt super frustrated with the results.
