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 🤘
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!
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.
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.
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,
I made a lot of mistakes spraying my f150. So to avoid more sanding and reapplying remember these tips. 1. If you are spraying with the Schultz gun make sure it is at 6Bar (90psi) at the regulator not the compressor and stand about 3 feet back. 2. Spray hard to reach spots first then maintain 90° to whatever surface you are spraying so the texture isn't skewed into streaks or ovals. 3. You can also reduce raptor which gives more coverage and will allow for a much more even coat but lower build. 4oz urethane reducer, 2oz acrylic base coat (no binders), 0.5oz base coat activator and 8oz hardener was my perfect mixture but it would overflow the bottle so mix in a separate container and do half a bottle at a time. 4. Have a full bottle of lacquer thinner or acetone ready to clean out your gun between bottles (very important) if you don't you will get thick globs sporadically. 5. HVLP guns require even higher reduction (8oz reducer) and a larger spray hole. The 1.4mm standard clogs very fast but you can drill it out carefully to a 2mm easily but still can't replicate the thick texture of a Shultz gun. Some Wagners texture guns will work but they are more expensive the cheap ones don't work well at all. 6. Rollers should only be used if necessary they are not ideal but having one just in case is a good idea. A paint sponge works great for quick touch ups on mistakes. 7. Check weather for the next 4days. It can't get wet before it's cured. 8. Read upol instructions and follow them over anything TH-cam suggests. 9. Wait 45 between coats to flash
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
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!
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 👍
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
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
Hey JP, first off great video! This was a huge help as I tackled my project. One question I had was around splotchiness in the final coat. Overall, things came out really good, but if you get in the right light, and the right angle, you can see some splotchiness in the paint. Short of respraying, have you found any tricks or things to try that can possibly blend things together and hide those little inconsistencies?
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.
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
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
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?

Awesome detailed video!!
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.

roughly 12 bottles.
Thats mint
Thanks man 😊
are you able to tell us what this cost on this particular wagon, I’ve got a gq with similar accessories ?

Can you have a WHITE coating that dark coating would be like an oven out in the sun???
Sure you can 👍
What do you do about the rubber gaskets on the doors? Thanks Great Video
Can’t seem to locate the U-Pol sanding pads or sanding sponges. Where did you buy yours? Thanks, Mark

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
Just one question, with the black. Doesnt it become a big oven when riding in the sun all day? XD
Brilliant Mate! 🤘 ^v^
Great job painting! Did you get to make that more in-depth video on spraying raptor on your navara tub?
Is that the 2k color or did you add color? I did one in satin black that turned out great.

When it’s wet you can dab it with mashing tape. Light dab and matches the textured finish, once it’s dry you have to re spray it.

Damn that yota looked good! Nice work! Do u recommend this product to protect the undercarriage ?
You can use it for the undercarriage yes
Good work bro
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.
Real question - Raptor liner WHITE as a base coat - then regular metallic paint over the top. Does this work? Light coats. Someone let me know
yes, this will work with a well prepped surface.
With raptor liner and now it’s going with 40 tires
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?
I just wondering if I can put some 3M tape on the RAPTOR paint! It will stick to it?? Need your advice PLZ
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.
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.
How much it cost to do a car that size?
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?
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.
How much would it cost for a 2007 single cab BT50 with alloy tray but just doing the cab not tray
Good vid. good information. What was the colour? Come up a treat, and as you mentioned looks good in different light
This is a factory GQ patrol gunmetal Grey tint.
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
#jpcaptured how many bottles did you use? I bought the 8 part kit from Amazon for my truck. Great video
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
The dust coat will be fine being applied 60 minutes after the previous coat.
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.
That's mean asf mate good job
I have a small Ford Ranger, 2 door pickup, with a short bed. Do you think a 21 gallon air compressor would be enough?
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.
Do you have to clean your gun in between coats? Also, what is your cleaning process?
yes the gun needs to be cleaned in between each coat to ensure that the gun spray evenly.
Mean as job u da man if only u were in nz haha I'd see u fasure
Yeh str8 up ma gee. Meen az.
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.
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?
Nice work on the video, I have a tint able kit all read.looking at doing my Prado in the factory colour how many more kits would u recommend?
3-4 4L kits would be enough
