- Hi guys,
In this video we take an ex Quirky camper, namely Orion the camper van and give it a new lease of life.
It's fair to say Orion was looking a little bit tired and battered when it came in after years of rental but we soon sorted that.
Now sporting a full Olive green and black Raptor coat and a new set of Rogue alloys it's turning heads once again.
As an added bonus I also give you a little tutorial on how to mix and tint your Raptor paint, apologies if I waffle during this bit. I have been known to stretch out a story lol.
Thanks for checking it out and much appreciation to everyone who likes and subs etc, still blown away by how well my little channis doing so thank you to you all 🤗
As always, stay safe, stay entertained and I'll see you in the next one 👌 - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Absolutely love your videos and humour, one day soon I'll being buying a van for you to raptor for me 😊
Cheers bud, glad you're enjoying them 😁 yeah whenever you get your van you know where I am 👍 thanks 🙏
Never get tired of watching your vids. Love that olive green 👌
Cheers buddy ☺️ olive green is definitely one of the favourites 💚👌

Lovely job👌
Cheers buddy 👍
Looks epic now mucker, I'm after a sprinter for myself. Great channel.
Cheers buddy, sprinters are definitely one of the more popular vans due to their engines I think. Cheers 👍
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing 👏👏👏🫡
Cheers buddy, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍
Enjoyed and informed 👍
Thank you 👍🙏
1:54 paint peels off coz when it goes ,back to the future ,😂 👋🤠👍
What an awesome video! Love your work! What a nice details. How many layers of raptor does it take for such a quality finish?
Cheers buddy, glad you're loving the videos and my work 😊
Usually 2 heavy coats to lay the colour and then 4 or 5 dust coats to even it out 👌
Love watching your videos. What kind of prices are we talking for a Mercedes Vito in Olive green Raptor like the relay you just done?
Cheers buddy, glad you're enjoying them, if you drop me an email to roughtownraptors@gmail.com preferably adding a couple of pics if you can then I'd be happy to sort you a price out, cheers 👍
Great vid quick question what happens if moisture in rainy weather gets into any of the raptor or do you do full job inside cheers👍
I do the full job inside usually bud unless it's the height of summer like this one was. Only did inside the doors outside as it was a flag cracking day lol.
Raptor and moisture doesn't mix well, you need a dry environment for painting in, same with any car paint 👍
loving the videos but i guess doing the same vans in almost the same colour gets a bit boring but you seem to love the painting though just curious is their a vehicle that you haven't done that you would like to and what colour would you paint it keep up with the great work your doing stay safe yourself
Cheers buddy, glad you're enjoying them 😊
It can get a bit repetitive sometimes but I usually just bang a pod cast on and switch off lol. That said I've had more repetitive jobs in the past, worked in a textile mill for 6 years walking up and down a winding frame, that was repetitive, and back in the days before podcasts lol.
I'd love to do a brand new defender, black with grey detailing, think it would look awesome, full safari pack one 😁
Thanks, I try to 🙏
excellent Works what is the RAL of the RAPTOR
Cheers buddy, it's 6003 olive green 👍
Very nice, I would definitely consider it. Charcoal grey maybe, the green is cool but slightly too Military looking for me.
How does this paint stand up to the elements if a Van was on a driveway for winters rather than in a garage?
Thanks
Cheers buddy, tbh I always think the standard black is more of a charcoal grey colour.
Stands up well to the elements, it was designed as bed liner for pick ups etc, hence why they market it as the king of tough, has high UV resistance too.
There are some vids on yt of guys in America and Oz doing 5 or 10 year reviews on it. Still pretty new over here but they've been using it for years👍
@@roughtownraptors thanks for taking the time to answer, really appreciate it.
You're welcome bud, always try and answer every question if I can 👍
Great vid mate , couple questions , how many litres did it take to cover the van and also is that just one coat , if its more than 1 coat whats the process in prepping for another coat 👍🏻
Cheers buddy, glad you like it.
A full van takes around 26 bottles with the black, a couple of heavy coats to lay the colour and then as many dust coats as it takes to even it out, usually 3 or 4, dust coats are light and fast 👍
Jesus so roughly 26 litres😮
Yeah that's about right for a lwb, bit less if it has Windows all over etc👍
Nice job .. how much you charge for peugeot boxer.
Thanks, depends on size etc, if you drop me an email to roughtownraptors@gmail.com letting me know size etc and possibly adding a couple of pics then I can sort you a price out, cheers 👍
So how much paint did you use? How many liters?
On a van this size usually around 22-26 bottles. Tbh I've stopped counting these days 😂
hi, was wondering what primer do you use as the raptor primer is stupidly expensive, thanks
Hi, there are a couple of makes I use tbh, hb body, general rock, depends on what you're priming too, you will be paying for the raptor name though.
Any decent branded primer should be up to the job though.
Thanks much appreciate
Is this the truck bed liner stuff? what's the idea of painting the entire vehicle with it?
Hi Henry, yeah this was originally designed as bedliner then people across the pond started doing custom jobs in it and it's catching on over here. It's a tougher hard wearing coating, more of a polymer then a paint. Also looks cool as f*** when it's done right 👌😎
do you use raptor on plastics ie do you need anything to prme?
Yes I used raptor on the plastics, you can use adhesion promoter but if you scotch them well enough with 180 grit then you'll be fine.
Don't go any coarser or the plastic will start fluffing 👍
In hot summers I use to keep my filler in the fridge.
Not a bad idea that bud, shame I don't have a fridge at work 😂
Can you post a link to which variable gun you use?
I don't have a link to it bud but if you go on eBay or Amazon and look for vari Shultz gun you should be able to find one cheap enough. At some point I will try and set up a link to products I use or prefer, thanks 👍
Can you use any pigment with the Raptor paint?
Hi, yeah you can tint raptor to any colour, you can buy a tiny off eBay, Marlow paints are usually spot on or you can use 2k paint but the tint will be weaker👍
@@roughtownraptors Wounder if can be mixed with a polyester pigments? As we have any colour pigment you can imagine at work, but they all polyester pigments, we use for spraying door moulds
Honestly couldn't tell you on that mate as I've always used 2k tints. Upol are very helpful, if you give their customer service desk a call they'll give you all the info on it and whether your tints will work with it. Failing that trial and error, mix a small test cup and see if it colours or reacts👌
How many litres of paint did you use on this van?
20
On a van this size around 21-26 bottles depending on colour and scheme etc 👌
hi, how much does this cost?
Depends on what you have, if you drop me an email to roughtownraptors@gmail.com letting me know what you have then I'd be happy to sort you a price out, cheers.
