    At a guess you painted your van before you came to Hereford as you had black paint on your hands, what a pair of troopers, even the rain didn’t stop you.👍👍👍👍

      Absolutely we did indeed. Once you got raptor on your skin you have to wait for it to drop off. No amount of scrubbing gets rid of it. Can't afford to wait till the rain holds off. It's always raining.

    Awesome work mate! Top job! I didn't realise you were painting over the raptor, but it looks very good! Typical weather eh? 😂 I've happened to always paint in the scorching sun which means it sets before you've even put it on 🤣 Love the red logo!!

      It's never what you want when you want it weather wise but we shall carry on regardless. I really like the effect and should prove easy to touch up in the future fingers crossed.

    Frog tape they call it.... You'd think it would like water.

    Why did you choose the white Maxx air fan and not the tinted one

    • @AlwaysVanAdventure
      @AlwaysVanAdventure  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Good question. We don't want light coming through it as it will be disguised on the inside. The ceiling tiles we have won't look right with a fan amongst them. Kinda hard to explain but if you look on our Instagram of the same name you will see our tiles. Wil all make sense in the end.

    The weather is a complete arse when spraying outside. Is the raptor paint worth it compared to the roller paint jobs I've seen other people use?

    • @pixie_sings
      @pixie_sings 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      We are using rollers for the red paint. Only raptor on the top to protect from trees etc. I think though to roll on raptor would be amazingly easier and alot less messy. Haha.

    • @AlwaysVanAdventure

      The raptor needs to stand the test of time to represent value. The idea being that the rough bobbly surface should be easy to patch up without looking out of place when a tree branch inevitably scratches the red paint off. If it works out this way it will have been worth the aggravation and cost. If it comes off. Chips and scrached and doesn't stand up to the scrapes it will have been costly both in terms of time and money. We will keep you posted after it's been on a while. It comes out like silly string. It's expensive at 25 quid a can and it ruins anything it comes in to contact with. However it might be worthwhile.

    What is "Raptor"

    • @AlwaysVanAdventure
      @AlwaysVanAdventure  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a pick up truck bed liner paint that's virtually indestructible
