    Just a quick annual follow-up on the Raptor "paint" job. Gave the truck a good hand wash the other day, after Fluid Filming the frame and undercarriage. This gave me an opportunity to look for any deterioration or trouble spots in the Raptor. I am pleased to say that I found zero issues. The Raptor looks just the same as the day it was sprayed. Given my intended use of the vehicle, thrashing around on the backroads and trails of W. Va. it was a great option. Cost was a definitely a great thing. Maybe $600 all in. Would most assuredly go this route again.

    Looking up Raptor liner brought me here. Your truck looks amazing. I didn't know it could be tinted like that. My truck is also Lunar Mist and I'm undecided if I want to keep that color (which I really like) or make it a dark gunmetal gray(or black). Was considering a professional repaint, but now considering this bc it looks really good.

    Where did you get the Lunar Mist tint? I'm trying to figure out where to get color matched tint and how much I'll actually need. U-Pol/Custom Coat says it is "concentrated" tint but won't give me specifics beyond that.

    I bought the tint at a professional automotive paint store. I also found the have it at our local Advance Auto. I used three ounces per quart bottle of Raptor. I also added three ounces of reducer to the mix to get a smoother finish.
