- we try something new and leave the raptor spray gun in the box, we spray Bren's Ford ranger in olive drab using an HVLP spray gun and the results are pretty cool
@Gage Boys' Garage
Thank you for taking the time to document your real world experience with a different gun and product application. My son saved his money and bought a F250 and I'm strongly leaning toward Raptor liner as opposed to the standard base/clear.
Rock On.
thank you for watching and commenting!, we highly recommend this product.
This came out awesome I’m waiting for warmer weather I’d love to do this to my truck, I’m aiming for the smoothest finish possible! Great job!!
thank you good luck with yours!!
Try 10 to 15 percent with 2.0 tip . You won't need as much pressure. Make sure gun is all open. It should be similar to the line x ultra finish.
Next time I shoot it I will use a gun with a bigger tip for sure just to see how much more I can dial it in, thanks for the feedback/specs
@@gageboysgarage6059 you can drill the tip open. Like you say it’s a $11 gun
Going to try this with a 1.8 or 2.0 as U Pol recommends on the video series they have online , I love the small texture look , still much stronger than paint .
Looks great. this is exactly what I'm looking to do on my 07 Toyota Tundra
Highly recommend doing it you'll love it!
If you can get a gun with a bigger to like .18 that would be best
Fuck yeah boys! I seen the ranger on the road today, I was the blue Colorado you raced off the light. Super sick truck! Looks perfect
Raptor recommend you reduce the first coat with a glove gun with your reduction up to 30% just to get coverage and make a tack coat . Less pressure and less reducer through a bigger tip and or raptors cheap gun
We where after a semi smooth semi flat finish did not want to use the texture gun on this one.
Y’all did an awesome job! I’m gettin ready to do this to my 97’ K2500 and would also like to do the Olive Drab.. Could you please tell me what brand Olive Drab Tint y’all use or where to get it?? Because Raptor brand tint costs the same as like 1/3 of what the whole liner kit costs!! Smh 🤦🏻♂️ lol. So, if you could please let me know I’d really appreciate it! Thanks!
We got it from eBay as a custom premix kit, here is a link let me know if you need any help, happy to dm. www.ebay.com/i/115016024340?mkevt=1&mkpid=2&emsid=e90001.m43.l3160&mkcid=8&bu=44106253743&osub=874668b04af853814be4e74597a7c388%257ETE80101_T_AGM&segname=TE80101_T_AGM&crd=20220702080000&ch=osgood&trkId=0AB8D2B2-33E96600507-0181B8DABADE-00000000003885B8&mesgId=3024&plmtId=700001&recoId=115016024340&recoPos=1
Since it’s a cheap harbor freight gun you could always drill the tip
we wanted the fine finish
Great video, nice job and Metallica 4 Horsemen 🤘
Looks great!
To get a much more subtle, cooler look, use 2k acrylic with fast reducer - shoot a drop-coat first, let it flash for a half minute - that creates texture when you then spray over it normally - it gives a very light, subtle textured finish that looks mint when you clear-coat it. Especially in black, the finish just looks the bomb. I shoot it with a LVLP gun, so overspray & paint wastage are minimal, plus the compressor is unstressed. I do the same for olive-drab, except I mix the shade myself, meaning I can have any variation of olive from light to real dark. Real dark olive looks very cool too.
I like clearing it as the Raptor tends to get dirty very fast & can be a sod to clean etc etc.
I’m seeing you in all of these raptor liner hvlp videos 😂, can you tell me how to shoot my motorcycle fenders and tank? I’m going with the darkest grey
@@justinmalone8640 I do it 7 days a week for a living, plus I love textured finishes - they float my boat. :-) So I can't stfu from commenting. :-) Texture-Nerd,,, :-)
Hit the tank & fenders with a maroon scotch brite if they are undamaged, bang on an aerosol adhesion promoter after cleaning with panel-prep, I then like to use (oddly..) Halfords weld-through primer on everything small like bike parts - it's just lovely primer to work over.. If you can't get that, use any decent smooth primer/adhesion promoter/plastic primer (depending on what you are painting) you can lay your hands on. I then spray EVERYTHING I am gonna be texturing with a coat of good 2k acrylic black gloss or 2k acrylic red gloss - what colour is going on next decides which I use, but everything gets a solid gloss coat first - it makes the topcoat pop like mad.
Then hit it with the drop-coat in your finish colour, let that flash, then wet on wet it - followed by 2 coats of good acrylic clear. Bang - drop-dead gorgeous textured finish that people can't get their head around as it just pops so good in the light. :-) Darkest grey I'd be shooting a black base first, just so the colour is reeealy deep to the eye. Bedliner tends to look "cheap" IRL - it just does - this way doesn't, it just looks cool. Bedliner also gets dirty like a rocket - they forget to tell you that aspect - cleaning it is then a PITA generally. My way ain't/doesn't. Plus, my way, I can mix any colour you can imagine - and some you can't - which adds a whole 'nother layer of possibilities.
Thanks for the tips, we will give some of that a whirl on the next truck
@@jamesward5721 I can’t thank you enough. Amazing information with the fastest replies I’ve ever seen.
@@justinmalone8640 Bang up the pressure on the gun is one key - the "Trend" lately is for super-low pressures, even with the LVLP guns - that's great for normal paintjobs, but real bad if you are going for a modern textured finish - you want that gauge just veering into the red, not the green - and then just have fun with it. I worked a landrover defender today - came in so boring I fell asleep sanding it. Yawn-Mobile. Dull.
Sprayed out just the bonnet for the owner to come see/say yes/no - jet black textured over jet black base. Guy couldn't get his head around how cool the finish looked - even my wife, who has zero interest in cars commented that "that finish looks amazing... can you do my car that way?" :-) It's about having some fun with paint-possibilities. No point doing just the usual Yawn everyone does - be a bit different.
If you do this again with the cheap gun just drill the tip out to around 2 mm. Lower pressure will give you more texture.
I will def make the top a bit bigger, with that said we were experimenting with this truck trying to get it a bit smoother, we have done several with high texture
@@gageboysgarage6059 After watching several videos where they used a HF purple gun for shooting raptor liner to get a 2.0 mm tip you drill out with a 5/64" bit.
@@eyesalooking I have seen that as well, we have sprayed several things since this video both with a drilled out tip and with the HF upgraded guns and you can get a smooth texture with a lot less pressure.
Looks really good. I am spraying my S10 drag truck in silver green this weekend. I am also going for a smooth texture. How is the Ranger coating holding up at this point.
Holds up great, make sure to use a bigger tip or drill the tip out and you will have awesome results, we have sprayed a lot since this truck with a little bigger tip and it's even better
@@gageboysgarage6059 thanks for the tips also glad it’s holding up. I been spraying beds for 10 years and was a little concerned how it would hold up being that it’s not near as thick as it would be out of the normal gun. Thanks again.
Hey I would have less reducer. Came out fine.
we wanted this finish
Looks great
Thanks!
Looks good but I wonder if you wouldn’t be happier with a regular Raptor texture on the truck.
we have sprayed many with the regular texture, so for this one we decided to attempt something with a different look, I can report that this finish is holding up really good with everyday use.
Was this finish easier to scratch/chip, or was it tough/durable?
I would say it likely is less tough as it is thinner in application than when spayed with the texture gun, it has held up amazing on here though
What type of reducer did you use
What type of reducer did you use, looks great
Use standard urethane
Waht did grit/grade sand paper did you use ?
Final sand was 150
What is the paint number of your tint??
Authentic WWII Olive Drab T73
How's the finish holding up?
Awesome, definitely would do it again
Have you every shot H.F. bed liner?
Have not, did not know they sold it, I have used their powder coat and it was sufficient.
@@gageboysgarage6059 thanks, was asking because HF liner is considerable amount cheaper. keep putting out those vids. Truck looks good
@@clydeusa6596 if you spray some let us know how it goes
@@gageboysgarage6059 I definitely will let you know.
how would you get even more texture with that gun?
a bigger tip is going to flow better, a 5/64 drill bit in that tip would provide a bit more texture, otherwise useing the Raptor liner gun will definately give you more texture (play with pressure with this gun for pretty wide results)
