Great video just don’t do that shoulder sweater thing again.
WOW!! What a video! I want to thank you for the epic info and detailed info for each step. I have a 2000 WJ Limited 4.7 and I have been thinking about lining it but didn't have enough know how and product knowledge until now!
I have some rust to take care of first "about a week's worth" 😔 but I am going to start it next week and will post pics on my project.
Once agian, thanks for taking time to make this video!
Best raptor video on here , and I’ve watched them all ,
That means so much to me! I was in your seat before watching every video prior to lining my Jeep. I will have another video out that, in my opinion, is of higher quality and better done. It will show any information I missed while filming this and works hand in hand. Thanks for watching and I look forward to hearing what you think about the next video!
Came here for a 2 minute educational video on Raptor lining and instead I got 26 minutes of incredible workmanship and detail. Thank
you, outstanding video, sir!
Sorry for the late reply, but I can't thank you enough for the kind words! I'm hoping to release more content on a regular basis soon as I look for a shop, but in the meantime I'm doing my best to get more videos out there and comments like these keep me going. 👊
Nice to see someone who does things right. Great attention to detail and thoroughness.
Very clear instructions. I feel like I sprayed this Jeep myself after watching this. 👍🏻
I’m happy to hear! I hope you enjoyed watching and got something out of it. As always, let me know if you have any questions and I’d be happy to help! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment as well 🙌
That was so thorough!!!! The best video I've seen. I didn't even pay attention to the time! I loved it! Your jeep is amazing 😍. I've been thinking alot about getting my 4 Runner done. I don't trust myself to do it myself. It won't be nearly as nice as yours! Thank you so much for this😀
I've contemplating this on all my trucks. Been waiting for a depth video, this was it. Thanks for the info.
Right on, happy to hear! Let me know if I can be of any other help and let me know how your project goes!
Maybe the best instructional video for anything on all of CZcams! Thank man!
I'm surprised at just how good that really looks! Nice work!!!
Meticulous and detailed bro! great job! Thanks for sharing this with us
Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to comment and watch the video.
Great job. Cleared up a lot of my questions I had on prep. 👌
I'm glad, take your time and it will be well worth the work!
Good job bro! Thanks for taking the time to video up!
Wow this by far the best video I have seen... Great job on the truck love it👍🦾👍👍👍👍👍😯😯💯💯💯💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great vid thank you , by far the best vid on how to apply the product
That was super enjoyable to watch! Thank you so much for putting this together! I don't even own a jeep, or garage or paint gun but I sure wish I did right now!
Well thank you so much! I’m glad you found enjoyment in this even if you don’t plan on doing anything similar anytime soon. I’m really flattered you even took the time to comment and I can’t thank you enough for all of the kind words. I can say that I do have another Raptor line video coming out shortly as well, so if you enjoyed this, I really think you’ll enjoy the next one too! Once again, thank you so much for watching and commenting. Enjoy the holidays and stay safe!
@@MyJeepStory Really enjoy the rest of your videos as well. Found a new favorite channel to watch and make me look forward to owning a jeep sometime in the future. Seriously, your video quality and the amount of effort you put in your videos is beyond next level stuff. Can't wait for future content! :) Happy holidays!
@@Lambert-hr7sm as mentioned before, I'm beyond flattered and I cannot thank you enough for the kind words. That being said, you have my word that there will be more content out there soon and we'll make sure to find a way to hit the trails together the day you find yourself in a Jeep or any off-road rig. Things have been so busy for everyone, myself included, this year and I really look forward to the calm after the storm where we can all take a breath and get back to things as they used to be. For now, I sincerely wish you and your family a happy and safe holiday. Thanks again, you're support keeps me going!
Great work, very helpful instruction, fantastic results. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent video. Your hard work shows.
Thank you so much 🙏
very detailed and love it my dude!
When I 1st saw that this video was 26 minutes and 20 seconds long I thought it will be absolute torture to watch the entire thing, but I decided to do it anyway and boy am I glad I did. In fact I watched it several more times, and will watch it at least a few more times before I paint my truck. Thanks a million from newest and biggest fan.
Melford, I can’t thank you enough!!! As I grow and learn what people enjoy watching, it’s clear that cutting out unnecessary bits is the way to go and I do my best to keep things to what people came to the video for in the first place. I appreciate you checking the video out and taking the time to comment, I take a lot of pride in these videos and it makes my day to hear it’s helping people out. I’m always here to answer questions you may have while you Raptor your rig or feel free to DM me on Facebook or Instagram. I also made a new Raptor video that includes updated tips from Raptor Lining vehicles over the years. I’d love to get your input!

Superb video very very informative I’m thinking of doing my land rover defender and your video will certainly be a go to tool for my future project thanks again 👍
Of course! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Let me know if you end up doing your Rover and I'd love to hear how it goes. Please let me know if I can help in any way and check out my next release this Saturday, Feb 20, at 2:00pm EST to see my next Raptor Project! This one is even better! 👍

Well done. My wife has been on me about doing this to her Jeep. Definitely a confidence boost. 🏁💪
One of the best "How to" videos' I've watched!~
What a wonderful Video, and job, Mom and Dad should be proud.
Well done vid my friend. Just did a golf cart and it came out AWSOME!
Great video and solid production.....you've come a long way since the Chassis Saver vid that brought me here. This vid should have way more views!!
It means a lot that you've been here since the start, that first video was filmed on an old phone and I was so nervous. I have so much going on now with school ending and moving, but I'd really like to start getting more content out, but all in good time. Like I said, thanks a lot for not only watching but taking the time to say so. 🙏
@@MyJeepStory All good man you went above and beyond and it showed.....I just watched the chassis saver vid yesterday too (showed up on my main page)....then watched a few more of your vids that I found interesting then subscribed. You should really be getting more views as I said. Keep up the good work when you have the time!
I’ll bring more content soon and you’ll have to let me know what you think! I have a few lined up I’m excited to get out including Raptor Lining a brand new Gladiator! Again, I really do appreciate you and I look forward to getting more content out.
Excellent work. Great video. Excellent presentation. Greetings and respect to all from Durango Mexico.
I cannot thank you enough for your kind words! It means so much to me that you were able to enjoy the video and that you took the time to comment in as well. Thanks again and greetings from the states as well!
Definitely a good instructional video. Just made me wanna Raptor Line my Kodiak.
I say go for it! Doing it is extremely rewarding and I highly recommend Raptor for anyone looking to get a bad ass coating that is extremely forgiving when applying, but also is extremely durable. New uploads on my channel begin today at 12:00pm EST and in two weeks from today, I'll have my next Raptor video out where I line an entire brand new Gladiator JT!
wow, a very, very good quality in this job, congrats !
Thank you! Cheers!
The commit to that pour at 12:11 is underrated
This is the best raptor liner video just for the simple fact that there isnt an ad every 45 seconds! Good job on the paint! Im about to paint my sons 2001 Nissan frontier and then my 2002 blazer zr2 the same way. Thanks for the video.
Well I really appreciate that! I put a ton of time and effort into making this, so I’m happy to see so many people benefiting from it. Let me know if I can help any further with your upcoming project and keep an eye out on my channel next week when I’ll be uploading another Raptor video. I’ll be lining a brand new Jeep Gladiator and I’ll cover some things I missed in this video like door jambs and disassembly for example. Thanks again and happy holidays!
@@MyJeepStory Ive painted 3 different entire 4 wheel drives with bedliner but i always used the rattle cans. The first vehicle was a 89 bronco 2 and i used the rustoleum bed liner in the rattle cans that sprays out like water and runs which looks like shit but believe it or not the rattle can bedliner Krylon makes delivered a finish close to the quality of the raptor liner you sprayed...... I painted a 88 jeep comanche with the krylon and it looked good but i probably used 30+ cans at 10$ a pop plus it took hours upon hours lol I figured id try it your way next time and save some time.
Yeah in the end, it makes a ton of sense to use Raptor. For one, it’s a two part paint as I’m sure you know and it becomes ten times more durable than anything out of a rattle can. It sounds like you’ve put a ton of effort into your rigs and you’ll get a lot more out of your work using something like Raptor in terms of finish, but also durability. 🤙 Keep up the great work and let me know how the next project goes!
@@MyJeepStory to be honest i buy fix and flip vehicles and I started using the bedliner because it covers up quick body work fixes (bondo fixes to be exact) pretty good but i started to like the rugged look so if i was fixing up a 4×4 i just started painting the entire vehicle with the liner. After seeing how good they can turn out if you get the paint sanded down good enough i decided to do my own 4wd with liner. My son saw how good the comanche turned out he started bugging me to paint his truck with it lol I tried the rustoleum roll on bedliner today and got as far as the hood before i quit and started looking for quality spray on liner.......Then i came across your video and I was convinced that Raptor is the way to go! I think im going to use black on his and maybe the grey or silver on mine. Thanks again for the video....Plus i watched your "5 mistakes you made video" and learned alot from it as well.
One more comment and ill try to keep it short as its more of a question. How many of the quart or litre size cans did you use on your jeep? My blazer is a 2 door and the back half is mostly glass so im wondering if the kit with 8 cans will be enough?
Awesome job looks really good
Thank you! Cheers!
This was satisfying just to watch and learn
Im happy to hear, thanks for watching and commenting in as well! 👍
I raptor lined my gmc yukon. This is the best stuff going. An autobody supply store can tint it any color. The prep work is most important.
You made a great video.
Very helpful.
I really appreciate it, thank you for taking the time to not only watch, but comment as well.
Great job.
Excellent job and fantastic explanation. ❤️🇺🇸
Glad you liked it!
Cheers mate good review.
Any time!
I like the splatter texture. Inside wheel welds, the liner of sheet metal. Needs to be spray coated as well. All under the carriage, frame as well. If you really love it, and want to keep it for EVER
Really nice. Thx for the link.
Awesome, glad you found it and thanks for watching!
Nice, looks mint. Got me looking at my 4x4 and thinking..... lol, thanks man 😎
Good luck and let me know how it goes!
Bro you nailed this...
Ayy thanks, Rico! 🙏
This was incredible, I’m about to raptorline my 2000 4Runner to help prevent risk of serious hail damage as a storm chaser and this video is incredibly helpful, time to overnight some primer 😅
It's something satisfying watching this 😌
It's got that random how-to vibe you get stuck watching at 3:00AM 😎
great job, cant wait to do my 94 blazer now....
Good luck and let me know how it goes!
looks amazing
Thanks, Joshua!
looks cool man!
I appreciate it, Peter!
Still looks really good and clean 🤙
Thank you very much!
Great vid
I appreciate it!
Nice paint👍👍👍❤️
Dude Bad assss work 💪
I appreciate it 🤙
I'm doing my whole Silverado tomorrow. Your videos are invaluable
Let me know how it goes and if you need any help.
@@MyJeepStory just did the first coat, took 6 bottles, have 6 more. Had my psi between 60-80 but the texture isn't super fine, I also applied too much to some areas on accident making it more smoothish, but that's alright. For the last coat your suppose to sort of "dust" the whole vehicle right? Holding the gun farther away, making it more matte
@@MyJeepStory finished the truck the same day, it looks really good.
Great tips brother! God bless!
Thanks! You too!
Good job, you did this like a pro 👍
Thank you so much! I definitely wanted to make sure I set a good example for anyone who wanted to do this and made sure no details were skipped! I have a video coming out very soon covering the Raptor lining of a brand new Gladiator and I’ll be covering some questions I missed in this video as well. 👍
@@MyJeepStory looking forward to watch the gladiator video. Also I forget to asked you about the type/size of compressor you used?
@@rd4501 I go over the details of what compressor works in the next video, but the exact model I used was the Industrial Air ila1883054! It's 155PSI max, 7.0 CFM @ 40 PSI and 5.7 CFM at 90 PSI. I hope this helps!
Nice work
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 🙏
@@MyJeepStory will use it as a guide to paint my humvee
I legit love you for this video.
I've watched countless.
And now that I'm about a month out from jumping in to this project, your video is the best thing I've come across.
Came out so beautiful.
And man do you show case well.
How do you feel it will hold up?
Decided to jump on this before my SAS and cummins swap on my dakota.
My paint is just struggling more and more everyday.
I'm sorry for the delay in response! I've just finished my second move and have finally settled in and have the time to answer some comments. I spent so much time making this video from filming to editing and I can say that it's always worth it when I get comments like these.
The Raptor has held up really well and it has been applied on the Jeep for over two years with no issues aside from some peeling on the chrome door trim where the lettering is clearly because I didn't sand in them. Otherwise, I have taken the Jeep down tight trails with branches scraping them and there have been no instances of chipping or peeling anywhere and where I applied it to the lower part of the rocker panels, the salt has had no effect on it! There has been no fading or anything like that either.
I also want to mention that on February 20th, I'll have an upload premiering where I Raptor an entire Gladiator JT, so that should also give you some additional tips and a look at another project I did. I'm excited to see what you think of that and in the meantime, please let me know if there's any other questions I may answer in preparation for your project! Good luck and let me know how it goes!
what could be more fun than watching paint dry lmao looks great i plan to do the same thing to my grand this summer great looking job god bless
Hahahaha you got that right! I hope you enjoyed the video and I posted another Raptor video covering how I lined a brand new Jeep Gladiator. Let me know what you think if you get the chance and I’m happy to hear another Grand owner in the comments!
The best how to guide for raptor I’ve seen so far
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to not only watch but comment as well. I have a new Raptor video coming out soon where I Raptor Line an entire brand new Jeep Gladiator JT, but in the meantime, please let me know if there are any questions that I may answer for you. Thanks again and have a great day 👍
Hey man great video with good detail! I’ve wanted to do this for a while. Would you mind doing into some of the details with me about it? Such as cost, prep, time, etc?
Cool stuff
Thank you for watching!
Sweeeet,i did my toyota tacoma in ford tractor blue U-POL raptor and i get lots of compliments from the color and the texture as well,great job looks cool bro 👍🏻👍🏻
Hell yeah, Raptor is definitely an awesome product sprayed right and it sounds like you did just that! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 🙏
I got a jeep Laredo 98 and that’s the perfect way I want my jeep to look like yours came out pretty nice love your Jeep bro🔥🔥🤙🏼
Thank you so much! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you get your Jeep to that point. 👍
I have a 98 ZJ that I was thinking of doing the same thing too after I get it road worthy this summer. Looks great by the way.
Out standing!! how much liner did you use? I have a jeep I'm gonna do my self.
You have definitely broadened my horizons here sir! I just purchased an 06 Tundra double cab and have been considering different paint options only knowing very minimal about Raptor products. This hands down seems like the most economical option and could definitely turn out looking great if done systematically as you have shown, but my main questions would be:
-Can you obtain a semi-gloss sheen and will it keep its sheen over time?
-Can you thin it out some with thinner?
-How difficult is to keep clean?
-And ultimately how long and well will it hold up!
Very well done informative DIY video! Thank you kindly to you and your parents!
I'm here to help and I'm glad you found value in watching my videos! Raptor is a great option in many regards from pricing to the level of forgiveness it offers to inexperienced sprayers. I'll be releasing another Raptor video in the coming weeks where I line a brand new Gladiator JT and in that video, I answer a lot of commonly asked questions that I missed in this video. That being said, feel free to ask away here in the meantime and I'll answer everything that I can!
1: Different levels of gloss can be achieved with different textures. While it won't literally be glossy, the way it reflects light causes a sparkle in a way depending on the texture. You can achieve different textures by adjusting the PSI, distance, and most importantly, by using the professional Vari-Nozzle gun. I'd take a look at what's out there and see what settings others have used to get the finish you're looking for. You can also add a clear on top of Raptor, but that's often said to defeat the purpose. Raptor is 100% UV stable and will not fade either.
2: You can absolutely thin Raptor and you must do so if you plan on shooting it with an HVLP gun as advised by U-POL themselves. I can't recall the compatible thinner at the moment, but I know it's mentioned on their MSDS available on the Raptor site.
3: Cleaning is beyond simple and the paint can be power washed and look like new again! I personally use a foam gun and a wash & wax from Adams Polishes on my finish.
4: Naturally Raptor will last plenty longer than standard finishes. This is because not only is it a two-part paint, but it's MUCH thicker than standard paints. Durability is usually a function of the thickness of the paint (assuming proper adhesion) and Raptor takes the cake! Apply two coats followed by a drop coat (covered in my next video) and you'll be good to go for YEARS. Repairs are so easy with minimal blending needed as well, but remember, prep is key!
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you need anything else.
Thank you kindly for taking the time to explain all of that, sounds very logical. I am looking forward to your upcoming video! Blessings!
Looks good, next time I would do the body work under the initial scuffing and have any repairs underneath that epoxy primer. Typically epoxy primer is a sealer and that's gonna be your last coat before your color coat or in this case the raptor liner. It also doesn't usually sand well. But overall good job!
I often times see these steps flipped one way or another, but I think in the future I'd er the side of doing the body work under the primer. You'll see this is quite the debate online, but I would again advise doing the method you mentioned looking back. Thanks for the tip and taking the time to comment!
Really good video
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
@@MyJeepStory that’s some good editing 💯
@@MyJeepStory how much?
@@jackwillis2245 how much what?
@@MyJeepStory $
Very interesting. I too also have a WK1 Grand Cherokee, mine is the street version SRT8. My paint is just to the point now where I'm considering what to do freshen up this now 13 year vehicle. I bought this new off the lot and it's been the best, most tough, most powerful vehicle I've ever owned and because of this, the longest I've ever kept a daily driver... And after 13 years, it still amazes me how great a vehicle this one has been... But a fresh paint job can cost up to $10K and I don't think that's wise to dump that kind of money into an older , yet still cool, vehicle... Anyway, I know this is the wrong type of look for a "street" truck, but you got me scratching my head thinking "hmm but what if???" Well done video.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment! I think for a vehicle like yours, wrapping it would be awesome to keep the clean look, but the Raptor would add a unique and rugged look. It's not conventional and sure to turn heads! I do admit, I love this rig and I understand your love for yours! 🙌
Your Extremely Blessed🙏🏿
Raptor liner is the best 👌 😍
Couldn't agree more!
Very very good job!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻😷
Thank you so much! I appreciate you not only watching, but taking the time to comment! Happy holidays and thanks again!
man, great job on detail just did mine it was fun! gets me away from wife outside for a day lol
Great video, I have a few questions for you. How much liner epoxy did you use ? I'm planing on lining a surburban and not sure how much I need. Also whY size compressor is need to run the gun properly?
Sorry for the delay and thank you for the kind words! As for the epoxy primer, it's only available in a gallon, so I'd just purchase that for $150 and that way, you'll ensure you have enough. I went through about half of a gallon doing two coats on the entire Jeep as well as everything else that I primed. For a compressor, a 6 HP compressor that generates 150 PSI line pressure should provide sufficient air supply, but is dependent on the application equipment/gun. I'm using a 30 gallon from Industrial Air and I've never had any issues! I hope this information helps, please let me know if there's anything else that I may do!
Thanks for watching and happy holidays!
great job young man excellento billion point
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment in as well!
Dang bro!!! It came out great. I have been considering to do this to my truck and wife's XJ. However practice makes perfect. So I have a question for you, how do you think it would hold up on a hard top for a Jeep? My YJ's top needs some TLC since the paint is old and faded. Thanks brother!!!!👍👍👍 Have you tried some of their pre-made aerosols like 2K?
I just found you from Reddit! I’m from Jersey too! Nice videos!
That's awesome, thank you for taking the time to not only find my channel, but comment as well! 🤘 I was thinking of getting a Rausch Creek trip going for the end of summer, let me know if you'd be interested. I thought it would be a cool to do to get away from all of this craziness that's been going on.
My Jeep Story Of course and that sounds great man! I just don’t know if my Jeep would be able to keep up, I have a stock 2010 Jeep Liberty , with just all terrain tires... I do have a rear hitch now for a recovery point though haha It’s nothing like your Jeep
The trails we usually hit are green or blue, definitely up your alley if you're interested. We have a great group going and we usually split into two if some people would rather take the easier lines. We also go to enjoy the time and company, so you can rest assured everyone is there to help spot you and recover you if you got stuck!
What’s his Reddit?
Thumbs up for doing it right
So it once and do it right! Thanks for watching 🤙
I liked the primer color
I posted a picture of the Jeep primed on FB and I got the same reaction haha.
fantastic vid. where did you get the empty 1 liter bottle? ive been looking for those so i can use less than a whole liter at a time for smaller projects
Would love to see a video on pressure washing this after doing a few muddy roads. 🧐
Dude after watching all that I needed close ups of all the details of the finish and that jam to be playing in the background for like 3 straight minutes. It’s kind of heart breaking
Please do a walk through of everything on your beautiful wk love this jeep love the page im subscribe to you on two other pages
Thank you so much! I'll be doing a walk-through soon, probably after the new lift in a couple weeks, but I'll have videos out weekly! 🙌
@@MyJeepStory what lift you going with?
@@dangerousfreedom4965 I'm sorry for the delay! As for my lift, it will be a mix before I head to getting the Superlift. I'll be focussing on parts that supplement a lift such as control arms front and rear along with new components at every corner. I'll be using Dobinsons springs, struts, and shocks since they offer higher spring rates to compensate for my bumpers, tire carrier, winch, etc.
I’m wanting to raptor my Tacoma - do you recommend removing the front bumper and grill and spraying those pieces individually?
I’m a big advocate of removing everything you can! If you have the time and it isn’t too hard, doing so avoids any issues with getting into spaces between panels and ensures even coverage on every part. Let me know if there’s anything else I can answer for you!
Watch this video just now. Ordered this stuff. Going to be doing my bumpers and running boards. I have my truck wrapped so i can't throw away the wrap just yet
Buen video me gustó cómo quedó.. gracias..
Enjoyed your vid. How do I keep the Raptor gun clean between coats? Any tricks?
Going to do this to my 99 outback soon but I’m not going to be able to afford to do it this way. I’d love to, but I might have to roll it on… I’ll see what my best options are
Hey man nice video, just been going through youtube checking out different results from different guns etc. Just a tip for future when sandblasting (your wheel arch area in your video) you want to keep going until the brown/red inner ring disappears as you left rust under there.
How did you handle the door jambs? They don't appear to be masked. I like the foam tape at the body lines to keep new paint out.
Hey that looks great!! I was thinking about doing mine at some point. Is black the standard color for the raptor liner or did you have to add the color?
Do it! Black is standard for Raptor Liner, but the tintable kits are also really easy to use. I made another Raptor Liner video coating an entire brand new Jeep Gladiator JT with some new tips as well which may help if you decide to coat your rig! czcams.com/video/jkSbwAeVNzU/video.html
When we get hail storms out here in Texas I see guys getting this done instead of dent removal and repainting. Costs around $5k.
Ok you may have answered this but how many man hour did you put into this plus any corrections or additional coats...guesstimate? Wonderful and informative on the process. A lot more than I was thinking. I want to do my Ramcharger next spring.
Thank you so much for watching and just so you know, I will have another video out within two weeks covering the process again, but painting a brand new Jeep Gladiator! The hours depends and it will ultimately come down to how perfect of a finish you're looking for. For reference, you can easily get this done without stripping the vehicle during a weekend, but for a full strip of parts, I plan on three weeks. It doesn't need three weeks, but setting aside that time allows for a mistake here and there with time to recover and fix anything that may go wrong. Plus when you remove and paint parts, you want to wait between 48 hours and a week to reinstall the parts as well and the little things really add up. It's tough to give you an estimate of the time it took for this Jeep since the filming took a big chunk of it. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
Great job! It turned out Beautiful... I was wondering if I could apply this bed liner on the fiberglass roof of my van. What do you think?
Thank you so much! You can absolutely spray your fiberglass roof. It adheres really well to fiberglass and is UV resistant meaning it won’t fade even if the roof gets hit with a ton of sunlight. Not to mention that if the off chance it hails, it will protect the substrate beneath it!
Thank you so much for you quick replay. Planning to bedline the inside and the outside of my van. At 66 yo, it’s a lot to tackle but it needs to be done to preserve my home for some more years. Thank you so very much!
I’m always happy to help! I really value all of the support I’ve gotten on my channel thanks to people like you 🙏 Just let me know if you need anything else and keep me posted on how your project goes! If you’re on the east coast, feel free to reach out and I can always lend a hand!
Verry good video! how much bottles of raptor bedliner does it take for the whole jeep including all plastic and bumpers? I have 8 at the moment for a montero but i am afriad to come out short.
Thank you for the video. The epoxy primer says to not apply over acid etch primer. Did you have any issues doing this?
Any thoughts on epoxy primer vs acid etch for an all raw metal bumper? UPOL is sending mixed messages in all their vids about which to use.
Awesome
I had a question. Which inline regulator do you have or a link on where to purchase. I'm looking for one and you did an amazing job with yours. Thanks again
I answered you on the other video where you also left a comment, let me know if you need anything else!
@@MyJeepStory sorry man. Just saw this now. I grabbed one. Thanks alot. Did my vehicle in some spots with the raptor Bedliner. Loved the way it turned out. Thanks for the tutorials. Really helped me out 👌
Great video and nice job! Just did my Cherokee. Came out great. But hoping you or someone here can help answer this for me. I removed all the emblems before painting but what’s the best way to reattach them? 3M tape isn’t sticking too well to the raptor.
I always suggest masking off areas underneath and behind panels/trim/handles so that when it comes time to reattach, the threaded holes arent obstructed, retaining clips dont need to be replaced, and you leave some raw surfaces for mounting tapes to adhere to
Why did you choose the fancy gun? Compressor cfm? Why did you use the red stuff pads for plastic rather then the wire wheel used on the fender- scratches too deep? Anything on tooling that would have worked well enough? (Big difference in spraying with your gun? Lower output of compressor would have worked? Bondo?)
Thanks, liked the video
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! I apologize for the delay in response, but I'm happy to answer your questions. To begin, I have an upload scheduled for February 20th where I Raptor an entire Jeep Gladiator JT and I answer a lot of questions that I got from this video such as the compressor I use, the cost, etc.
I chose the Vari-Nozzle gun due to the fact that you can control and achieve a desired texture in ways that the standard Schutz cannot. Where you can control the PSI and distance only with the standard gun, you can also control the texture of Raptor by adjusting the tip of the Vari-Nozzle gun.
The compressor I use is a 30 gallon Industrial Air p/n ILA1883054 which delivers 5.7 CFM @ 90 PSI. A 6 HP compressor that generates 150 PSI line pressure should provide sufficient air supply, but is dependent on the application equipment / gun (Shultz type or gravity feed HVLP) used to apply the Raptor.
The wire wheel was just used at certain times to help remove old adhesive that I had on the Jeep. I would stay away from that when possible to avoid scratches that are a little too deep and stick to a sandpaper around 80-120 grit for best adhesion. Definitely stay away from these low grits when applying Raptor with an HVLP gun as that requires a thinner and has a higher tendency of showing scratches beneath it.
In my next video, I use an Eastwood SCT to prepare the entire surface, but be careful with power tools when sanding because if you DON'T plan on using the epoxy primer first, sanding to bare metal is not a great idea as Raptor does not adhere to bare metal or rust very well without a primer.
Let me know if there's any other questions that you may have and I'll get right back to you!
THX Man... it was great... did you hit the taillighys with the raptor too?
