About to paint my suzuki mini truck. Done the underside of the bed for practice with the shutz gun it looked good but not what i was looking for. This video makes me think i can get the rest of the truck like i want.
Cool video man. I like the texture. I was able to get a similar texture with 2 coats, 70 psi while standing around 2-3 feet away. After eat coat if you stand about 3-4 ft back and lightly mist spray over your coat it really evens things out and fills in the large gaps between the clumps of liner.
Thank you for this video. I've seen a few people that have used Raptor like that, but they don't really explain the mixtures. I had an older truck I did the conventional way and it came out perfect but looked like an uber apocalyptic tank. Now I have a newer truck with super thin factory paint that chips when the wind blows. I like the look with the hvlp gun for a less doomsday appearance.
Make sure your prep work is A+ quality. I raptor lined my rockers over a year ago and they started rusting through in a few months due to bad prep work. Eventually I will have to cut out the rockers and weld in new ones. But my truck is also pretty old lol
@@ItsStuder oh man that would suck lol. Mines a 2014 ram just has some rock chips. Alaska problems. I’m going to sand everything and prime the rock chips with etching primmer. Then shoot the color matched raptor liner with the 2.5 hvlp. I’m wanting the same texture as you got it looks perfect.
Yeah that should work. Mine is a 2003 and my rockers were holes when I got the truck. It's still better now than when I got it. But eventually it'll need replacement.
I have a trailer I'm building ,using fir plywood and it is 5x5x8 teardrop ,I'll be using 2 gallons,could I mix gallon portions ,I am using a 2.5 mm gun as well?
Do you recommend the 2.5 tip? Another guy said 1.3 tip with 30% reducer to get a smooth finish like that. Thanks! Buying the gun from harbor freight and spraying tomorrow.

Yes I agree, the hvlp is much better for a less Mad Max look
Top video, was cool from you to explain every single step u did to get that texture,not a lot folk does that 👌👍
great details explanation! exactly what i was looking for
About to do the rocker panels on my truck with the raptor liner. Nice to see a new video with the HVLP gun thanks!

Great write up . Definitely what I was looking for.
I'm looking into painting my utv plastics with some raptor liner
Thx
Infomative and to the point
Nice
thanks for the informative vid
Looks good. What are the effects of overspray? Did you need to protect your work space?
Thanks for sharing this info
You get a much finer finish with higher PSI and a 1.8 tip. Instead of spongy orange peel it looks like 220 grit sand paper.
You’ve done this with a 1.8 hvlp with raptor liner? Please share more details
Definitely a finer texture

1.3 is too small, even 1.7 i personally used & it was difficult to get it come out spraying really good.
Got a link for the gun you used?
Any idea why mine turned into rubber 30 seconds into shaking it? #Stumped Thanks in advance...
Cool video but when you said grams instead of ounces I was dazed and confused.
No spray action or gun info? If spending time & money, why not fix the crack? I don’t understand. ASE Master Tech - Retired
Looks better out the shutz imo this just kinda looks like really orange peely paint
Looks like bird shit on it
Just saying
