Something a little different to normal guys. In this video, I walk you through a recent Raptor liner Spray job I did at ShedSessions HQ and give out some hints and tips to help you guys have a crack at home yourselves, Enjoy!
Thank you! I do everything myself, but I seriously suck at painting. I just finished my '03 Tacoma in Bright White and it came out Great! I watched every video I could find and this one was the one that helped me the most.
@@noahhuffaker8115 I put 4 coats on the Tacoma, including the "dust" coat and used 13 bottles of white Raptor Liner and 3 bottles of black for the bumpers and grill. I spent about US$700 on 16 bottles of white and $140 for 4 bottles of black. There were some incidentals, like sandpaper, Scotch-Brite, etc, but the truck turned out so well I used those to paint my car too. So, for both vehicles it was about $1500 (didn't use as much paint on the car).
As a qualified panel beater I was happy with this not some bloke who's heard from his mates friend who knows how to do something well done mate good luck with ya gu 🤘
Well I was going to say that this was one of the best vids re Raptor on YT - then you mentioned that it was for a customer, well that explains it! No point in me saying that I agree with your methods, as I am DIY but this was a terrific tutorial. I did the canopy of my Navara, which turned out ok, but the tub worked out better, and I did do a mist coat at the end, and it made a hell of a difference. I am just getting in the mood, as I have my Bullbar off and prepped and am about to paint it in Raptor too. It really is a great product, goes on easily and covers up many imperfections and is forgiving for the not professional - like me. If you have a fourby it is a very useful and versatile product. Thanks again for a great vid. Cheers mate.
Nice work, thanks for sharing. Prep is king! I've done the interior and hardtop and now I'm about to do the exterior bodywork, which I bought the Vari-Nozzle gun for. Glad I did, otherwise I would've just watched your video and had a "I bloody knew it!" moment and be rushing to buy one to get it in time for when I'm planning to do the job! :D Cheers!
Hi I watched all your videos on how to spray using raptor liner and it was super helpful. Now I want to spray my lwb ex patient transport van in a grey raptor liner and all the black plastic parts black. How many bottles do you think I will go through? Also have you got a link to that better spray gun
great mate, i like your explanation, i got a holden ute hx 1977/78 308, not much people recommend me, to use raptor, BUT i will do use raptor paint, as everlasting job.AND when some one jelously damage my ute, i myself will repair that scratches. or dent that might get from some idiots on the road, u know, if we do not do ourselves, those panel beaters cost more then the leg and the arms, as our vehicle values goes up, thanks again young man the best of luck,
One thing I have wondered about; How does the doors seal after the liner is applied? All the gaskets now rests against a really structured surface. Isnt this a problem?
They sure are, well that's only if you paint them in such a way. When I paint that particular surface the build technique I use is different to the rest, the end result is a hard wearing smoother surface so everything still seals nicely.
Amazing video dude! Thankyou so much for making and posting, great detail and well presented. Although you do make it look alot easier than im geussing it is! haha cheers man
I have done a few of these over the last 4 years. One thing rinse out your gun with lacquer thinner between coats, and your spay pattern will remain consistent.
Absolutely the best video I've seen about how to spray on Raptor Liner! I'm about to spray my Toyota. First time I've ever sprayed anything. I hope you can answer a simple question: With one hour flash time between coats, and four coats, that's more than three hours. Is it OK to leave the masking tape on that long and still get good lines? It seems like that first coat would be pretty dry by that time. Thanks!
Great video. I have a couple questions. What do you do with the gun between coats? And what happens with the gun while you prep the next bottle? Thanks
When you stated to remove the tape after the final coat, Did you do so on the first coat as you said you let it set for an hour, so are you removing all your masking and redoing it for each coat?
Great video, thanks! Can you comment on how you approached painting the door jambs on the inside? is the thickness of the paint/texture an issue for door seals?
If you're just raptoring a Bonnet with a spray can is it the same application technique? But just with a spray can? Any tips when using the cans? Cheers
Looks bloody great. Also, I like the videos you do on the Nav. I've got one myself and keep looking out for your videos to see the tricks you do. Keep it up mate 👍
When you did the fender flares did you paint them off off the vehicle and then put them on during the rebuild? I want to do this to my 2014 silverado and I want to put fender flares on it. What do you recommend? Thank you!
So 45-90min set time between coats then peal off 30 mins after the last coat? As long as you keep painting it's 30mins after the last that you peal off the tape?
Those black plastic grills on the rear side windows, how the hell do you get them off. I've tried everything but they dont seem to want to budge and I dont want to break them either, thanks.
ive just ordered a 4 bottle set of tentacle raptor. but only 3 of mail colour. did that to have a free bottle when I got a small car and won't be needing all of them. or so I thought until I saw your vid. How would it work to use 1 bottle tentacle without tint for the first base coat? hard areas, corners and so on. and the 3 left for the rest?
You said you used four coats, how many bottles did this work out at, Im thinking of doing my GU but would probably go only two coats and maybe three with a dust coat.
So I just sprayed my whole vehicle, however due to time constraints I didn't wait 60 minutes before applying my dust coat, just between coats one and two. Will this adversely affect the end product, or just make it take longer to cure? Also, it took a long time to apply the first coat, is there an issue If it isn't tacky anymore when applying the second coat? Good pointer on getting the hard to reach areas first, that is critical. I'd also recommend everyone do this in a very well lit area if they want a professional result. Otherwise it's almost impossible to avoid tiger striping, as you just can't see. And because if the gloss level of the Raptor it is very hard to see where you have applied too light of a coat
How many containers of paint did you go through for that vehicle? I have a 2 gallon kit for my Colorado and am waiting for some warmer weather to spray - when you said 4 coats I'm wondering if I have enough or if I should get more.
i'm going to be spraying the railing/fencing on my pontoon boat. raptor liner page says 125 sq ft/ gal. bottles come in liters, but if i am supposed to do a light coat, 2 coats, then a dust coat... any idea how to break that down by square foot? railing is 25x8.5 feet, 22 inches tall. 2 sides, 2-4 coats... 2 coats i was guessing just under 4 gallons. (16 liters) thought about ordering another 4 liters just to make sure i have enough. any advice?
I'm going to do my Hilux tub in either Raptor or Bully liner. Would be awesome to see you do your Navara tub for reference! Great video btw mate, just found your channel.
Hey mate, awesome work. What would it cost roughly for a 2016 BT50 dual cap, has a nudge bar, sports bar and 4” staino snorkel I’d prob get them all painted too. Thanks if ya can sort rough price but all sweet if ya can’t man.
Awesome video! Do you ever have issues with fading over time? I know raptor liner has UV protection in it, but wanted to see what your experience is. Would you recommend spraying clear over it after your done as an added protection? Thanks
QUESTION! How long is the work time? I did a few small panels, everything took one bottle but by the third coat (2 hours) it started spitting out globs like it was drying. Maybe next time remove and cap the bottle and clean the gun between coats?
If you're waiting around 45 minutes of it sitting you should clean it. Just run some acetone through it and that should be good in between wait times. and always cap the bottle while waiting. It's an epoxy and dries fairly quickly. If its closed and in a temperature controlled area, you should have around a days work time. Just make sure to mix well after each wait time.
hey mate will raptor stick to normal primed surfaces ive got a 60 series that i have coated the bare steel with rust proof primer. should i seal it or just go for it with the raptor mind you its just a shit box that im trying to get a few more years out of

Thank you for one of the best videos on how to use raptor liner. I feel more prepared and confident for my paint job of a Toyota hilux
Wow end result looked brilliant as it drove away.
Thank you!

Thx. Great info Sir. I took notes that I've yet to get from the previous 37 videos I've seen. Thx again.
That was a great video. You explained it so well. Thanks mate.
As a qualified panel beater I was happy with this not some bloke who's heard from his mates friend who knows how to do something well done mate good luck with ya gu 🤘
Cheers Gus 🤙
Nice video! Doing an application today and this was very helpful, definitely the best and most concise info I've seen. Thanks!
Looks absolutely sensational. Well done.
Cheers!
Very detailed instructional video, thank you mate.

you are welcome ;-) and yes, it's probably 30-40% harder than this video makes it out to be.
Just wondering how many litres will I need to spray a dual cab ute
Been using this stuff for years. Great and informative video!
Great video , tips are fantastic mate, ive been putting this of for a while ,now getting into it
I have done a few of these over the last 4 years. One thing rinse out your gun with lacquer thinner between coats, and your spay pattern will remain consistent.
Looks killer! What a job!
"you need a good abrasive surface." - Oh, you mean like my 20 year old completely oxidized Taco G1 paint? Check.
🤣😅👌
Is that the 2k color or did you add color? I did one in satin black that turned out great.
Absolutely the best video I've seen about how to spray on Raptor Liner!
I'm about to spray my Toyota. First time I've ever sprayed anything.

I love this surface
Doing this on my 99 forester!
great content JP! always great to have videos where we can learn from
Thanks Aaron 👌
Can’t seem to locate the U-Pol sanding pads or sanding sponges. Where did you buy yours? Thanks, Mark
Great video. I have a couple questions. What do you do with the gun between coats? And what happens with the gun while you prep the next bottle? Thanks
No answers
Very nice video. How many bottles did it take to complet
I just wondering if I can put some 3M tape on the RAPTOR paint! It will stick to it?? Need your advice PLZ
What do you do about the rubber gaskets on the doors? Thanks Great Video
For better or worse, I'm doing this to my 88 Bronco!
Did u end up doing your 88 Bronco? How much Raptor liner did you use? I'm about to do mine!
When you stated to remove the tape after the final coat, Did you do so on the first coat as you said you let it set for an hour, so are you removing all your masking and redoing it for each coat?
are you able to tell us what this cost on this particular wagon, I’ve got a gq with similar accessories ?
Nice colour mind tell what colour is that?
Awesome video man. Came out lookin mint💪🏽
Cheers Submerged 👍 i really liked the outcome too 🙌
Great video, thanks! Can you comment on how you approached painting the door jambs on the inside? is the thickness of the paint/texture an issue for door seals?
Can you have a WHITE coating that dark coating would be like an oven out in the sun???
Sure you can 👍
Amazing video !
If you're just raptoring a Bonnet with a spray can is it the same application technique? But just with a spray can?
Any tips when using the cans?
Cheers
my advice on the spray can is not to use the spray cans, sorry.
Brilliant Mate! 🤘 ^v^
Just one question, with the black. Doesnt it become a big oven when riding in the sun all day? XD
How do you prep if I have peeling clear coat on the side and hood? The top has no clear coat at all.
You need to take it back to a surface that has no peeling paint or clear coat.
Love it. Turned out great!
Thanks Johnny
Looks bloody great. Also, I like the videos you do on the Nav. I've got one myself and keep looking out for your videos to see the tricks you do. Keep it up mate 👍
That's awesome Simon👍 glad you are enjoying the content ☺️
Looks Beautiful and Tough 💪
Tough as bloody nails mate 😉
When changing the color of the vehicle how do you spray the door jambs and then close the door without disturbing the paint on the jambs.
If we purchase the adjustable spray gun is it possible to clean it after each use or do we have to buy a new gun for each time
ive noticed that the spray pattern isn't very broad. did you find the same? How did your door latches go after filling them with Raptor?
How many bottles was this I want the exact same thing on my Nissan patrol can’t believe I found what it’ll look like 👍
roughly 12 bottles.
Love the video mate 👍🏽 how many bottles do you recommend for a small pickup truck 🛻 thanks again mate!!
I'm thinking of doing my rock sliders for a Pajero in raptor, thinking 1L should be tons, or will a single can do both?
Get yourself a 4L kit. It's good value for money and you'll end up using about 2L
What kind of compressor do you have? Raptor recommends 6hp at 20+ gallon which seems a little impractical for a home user DYI without a shop.
When you do the door jambs, how long do you wait before closing the doors? Doesn't closing them cause the inside to muck up?
When you did the fender flares did you paint them off off the vehicle and then put them on during the rebuild? I want to do this to my 2014 silverado and I want to put fender flares on it. What do you recommend? Thank you!
I have a small Ford Ranger, 2 door pickup, with a short bed. Do you think a 21 gallon air compressor would be enough?
How much would it cost for a 2007 single cab BT50 with alloy tray but just doing the cab not tray
So 45-90min set time between coats then peal off 30 mins after the last coat? As long as you keep painting it's 30mins after the last that you peal off the tape?
Those black plastic grills on the rear side windows, how the hell do you get them off. I've tried everything but they dont seem to want to budge and I dont want to break them either, thanks.
Where are you located and what is this estimated cost. I’m considering doing my 98 patrol in the grey
Hey Peter I'm in Victoria. Drop me an email with some photos of your car.

How would it work to use 1 bottle tentacle without tint for the first base coat? hard areas, corners and so on. and the 3 left for the rest?
Hi, is there a use up on the time period for the Raptor bottles or can i store it as long as i don´t mix it up with the hardener?
When you do the door jams are you closing the door immediately after words? An did you do under the hood? Thanks for your sharing.
The doors are given roughly 20 mins flash time before soft closing. Yes I did under the hood.
You said you used four coats, how many bottles did this work out at, Im thinking of doing my GU but would probably go only two coats and maybe three with a dust coat.
What color/tint did you use with what kind of fleck like you mentioned?
This is a factory GQ patrol gunmetal Grey tint.
Thinking about doing my 01 Dodge Ram with a red and black 2 tone....one question I have is does the tinted stay glossy after time
Danke, starkes Video.

The dust coat will be fine being applied 60 minutes after the previous coat.
Did you bother doing all four coats, including the dusting coat, on the door seals and unseen areas as well?
All of the door jam area got all four coats the same as the body.
Hey mate how often you clean the gun.between 1 or 2 bottle?
Awesome detailed video!!
How many containers of paint did you go through for that vehicle? I have a 2 gallon kit for my Colorado and am waiting for some warmer weather to spray - when you said 4 coats I'm wondering if I have enough or if I should get more.
Could tell me what air compressor you used? Curious what’s the min. LPM or CFM required?
Any colour to so good!

I spray bullet liner and I’ll tell ya that looked easy. Does it need wire trim to cut it or do you just use masking tape?
just mask it up.
Just thinking whats the minimum sized compressor id need to buy to spray raptor paint on my van?
Looks awesome mate I also have a patrol I’m looking to find someone to do this what would you charge to do the job from start to finish
You can email me for a quote if you like jpcaptured@outlook.com
Also how many kits do you use with 4 coats
I'm going to do my Hilux tub in either Raptor or Bully liner. Would be awesome to see you do your Navara tub for reference!
Great video btw mate, just found your channel.
hoping to do this soon!
Hey mate, awesome work. What would it cost roughly for a 2016 BT50 dual cap, has a nudge bar, sports bar and 4” staino snorkel I’d prob get them all painted too. Thanks if ya can sort rough price but all sweet if ya can’t man.
Final cost ?
Line - X quoted me $10,000 dollars
For a lifted van.
And still 6 months waiting to get worked on.
Nobody wants to take on the job.
A raptor liner job is cheaper than that, email me for more details jpcaptured@outlook.com.
Raptor is way cheeper plus its easy to clean compare to Line x.i did my truck last year and im really satisfied
I did a few lifted trucks, and a Ram 2500, turned out great.
@@marinevetgarage9101 i just was looking at your video , U should wear a mask my man!! That shit is very toxic
@@simonpearson1567 your right. I have a bad habit of not wearing it because I'm outdoors. But totally agree with you.
Bloody awesome job mate!
Thanks lachie, it's lots of fun man.
Is there a way to give the Raptor finish more of a matt finish at all? Im interested in doing my GU Patrol but dont want it shiny at all.
What’s the trick to getting it not very rough?
Great video, great job! Where are you located?
Victoria Australia
@@jpcaptured799 my dream one day to visit Australia!
Awesome video! Do you ever have issues with fading over time? I know raptor liner has UV protection in it, but wanted to see what your experience is. Would you recommend spraying clear over it after your done as an added protection? Thanks
Do you remove and remask for each layer with raptor?
QUESTION! How long is the work time? I did a few small panels, everything took one bottle but by the third coat (2 hours) it started spitting out globs like it was drying.
Maybe next time remove and cap the bottle and clean the gun between coats?
If you're waiting around 45 minutes of it sitting you should clean it. Just run some acetone through it and that should be good in between wait times. and always cap the bottle while waiting. It's an epoxy and dries fairly quickly. If its closed and in a temperature controlled area, you should have around a days work time. Just make sure to mix well after each wait time.
Great job painting! Did you get to make that more in-depth video on spraying raptor on your navara tub?
Can you paint rapto liner on bare metal?
sure can, you just need to prime the surface with U-pol Acid 8 etch primer.
hey mate
will raptor stick to normal primed surfaces
ive got a 60 series that i have coated the bare steel with rust proof primer. should i seal it or just go for it with the raptor
mind you its just a shit box that im trying to get a few more years out of
