TRANSFORM Your Van With Raptor Armoured Paint. I Sprayed My Van With Raptor Paint because it's easy, the tough and tintable protective coating is a durable urethane coating that provides surfaces with a protective barrier that can withstand the toughest situations. Raptor paint is developed to tolerate most climatic conditions, RAPTOR is U.V. resistant and won’t fade or “chalk” even after years in the sun. RAPTOR paint is also water-resistant and helps to protect surfaces from rust, making it perfect for surfaces that are frequently exposed to water, including saltwater.
RAPTOR paint's versatility makes it perfect for almost any application. Spray or roll RAPTOR on high traffic areas; it’s scratch and stain-resistant and easy to clean, simply hose it off. Its flexible formulation can handle impacts without cracking, making it perfect for its most popular application as a truck bed liner.
RAPTOR paint is unlike other bed liners or protective coatings. It’s less expensive and faster than powder coating. And in case it does scratch (which is tough to do!), RAPTOR can easily be repaired. You can’t do that with most of the other bed liners and protective coatings!
RAPTOR protects the roughest industrial surfaces as well as the smaller surfaces we rely on every day. It’s durable, looks great and it lasts a long time.

Take a full tour of my raptor painted van here czcams.com/video/JglhW_OdZec/video.html
Great as long as you accept the fact that it would be the end of life last ever paint job on whatever vehicle it goes on. If you change your mind and want a normal smooth shiny paint job in the future it's a bare metal nightmare job to sort it so you'd better be sure it's what you want. (and anyone else, resale value could be shot to bits.) it is a quality product and if its texture you want then it's ideal.
its defo not a finish for all . and i have seen one that got taken back to paint the only problem was they had to set it on fire
Raptor paint is really cool. Looks very durable. Probably lasts forever. Neil really brings the value with this video. And just listen to that awesome accent.
Thanks mr friend raptor really is good stuff . And most people struggle to understand me lol
Great video pal
Glad you enjoyed thanks mate
Thanks Ian for another great video. I'm definitely going to look into Raptor for my van. Cheers mate 👍
Thank you for watching buddy, we loved the finished look on our van so we’ll worth checking out 👍
GEAUX Tigers! And Geaux Saints! Thanks for supporting my favorites.
Louisiana is on my heart my friend , thanks for watching buddy
And Go Cajuns!
Am going hijack your driveway to paint mine once I get another ha ha great info mate
do it do it then i can film it
Urban Explorer now that sounds like a perfect plan mate ✌🏻
Great video, looking to do my T4 soon and will be using a good few of your tips!
thank you garret hope fully they come in handy i do try and aim them for ease of view , i try not to be ever so serious , thanks for watching
I will have the very first Raptor surfboard!!!💥🏄🏼 Great Video!👏🏻😎
this my friend id love to see , but its not slip proof . you would need to add some grip before it drys
@@UrbanVanlife I've believe broken glass provides a good grip. It sure will make that surfboard glimmer in the sun
I NEED to see this! (Didn't know you were a surfer man, been a while for me but am trying to get back into it!).
painting my G20 with raptor soon. cant wait!
Oohhh good luck bet it will turn out awesome 🤩
OMG! Thank you for sharing this. I want to do this to the lower half of my Honda Element. See you again soon. Cheers!
its so good on the bottom , iv done a few lower sections of vans and its so good . thanks for watching , let me know how it goes on the honda
Hi Neil, " Lad " ,i am a Scouser tooo a bit older than you just found you'r channel WOW i love you'r style.It is late so short comment i will watch you'r video's from start goin to like them. 👍 John.
Hello hello scouser and welcome aboard!
Painted in Rust-Oleum but thinking raptor now thinking light grey
good thing about raptor is you can have what ever coolour you like
Top lad. A fantastic video and very informative, this is just what I needed. I live in a hot country in east Africa and the main problem is the paint for my vehicle. Now you solve the problem for me.. A much appreciated! 👍
Thank you 🙏
Excellent video mate!
Thanks mate so many ppl keep asking about raptor so thought I’d do a full video explaining all the things I get asked
Raptor paint looks really durable, I bet it would make a good truck bed liner, or to spay on metal patio chairs
thats exactly what it is , its designed for truck beds , but you really can do all kinds with it , thanks suzy hope your well
Cool, Thank you @@UrbanVanlifeI am good, editing a video I filmed today. Thanks for asking me yesterday if I ended up filming, it was just the push I needed.
I would to try that on a bicycle and see how awesome would look with that texture. Now there's a chance to customize it since its summer :)
Oh mate that’s a great idea
Nice just what I was looking for
It’s great stuff
Yo Neil! If it was only flexible enough to add to my kids knees and elbows! Are you having a wonderful day? Stay safe mate!!
You could spray a wet suit lol . Hope ur ok mate all is good this end mate lovely to see you my friend
You forgot the question, “Would you do it for me?” 🤣🤣🤣
Great video and thank you, it looks like amazing stuff. I’ve seen some fantastic examples...
hahaahah noooo you dont want me doing it and taking all the joy out of it for your self
Great video… if I want to spray a Van do I need to prime the old paint first? Or is little sandpaper enough?
Love it
I'm spraying mine next year hopefully was going to do it 2k but I'm loving the raptor tintable,I was wondering if it can go over glass ,yes I'm being lazy can't be bothered taking the rear window out and welding in a peice of sheet metal,great videos mate 👍👍👍👍
Personally I would give you U-pol a ring on that one they’re really approachable and they will find their number on Google really easy. I’m pretty sure if you scuffed the window up with a pad then you would be able to spray wrap the paint over the window but I’m not 100% sure Dafoe give them a call and please let me know it’s never a question we’ve been asked before but I would be really curious to know the answer sorry we couldn’t help anymore personally I just spray it and hope for the best
Great vid thanks iv just one question when spraying what the over spray like coz I don't think the guy next door wants his seat Leon painting in raptor cheers
I have a massive drive so for me it wasn’t a problem BUT with the weight of the product there is virtually no overspray I found . Plus Iv seen others do it at home and said the same . . As long as your careful and don’t do it in any wind I’d say you would be ok .
@@UrbanVanlife that sounds spot on thanks 👍
I think you nailed most questions 👍 do have a question regarding cleaning does it trap dirt especially if you used white colour with raptor. What methods have you found work best when washing the van. Cheers! 👍
Strangely enough with the raptor the van didn’t seem to get half as dirty as it did before . Don’t know why but it was washed less . And a jet wash and a brush dose the trick perfect mate
@@UrbanVanlife Awsome thanks for the info, keep up the good work and videos 👍
Will it cover rust? Is it a rust preventative?
Another excellent video, by the way.
I've been looking at raptor paint for a while now, and while on the road I saw a van done in it, to me it looked awful but the more I look the more it lends itself to a all terrain kind of look.
Good stuff man. I think you liked shaking too much. 😂
It’s weird cos that’s what she said as well lol
I am totally sold on this... I will find something to apply some Raptor paint to. Maybe when I get the Jon boat going... hmmm...
It’s great for boats and kayaks mate
@@UrbanVanlife Curious about this. Wouldn't the Raptor liners heavy texture inhibit the movement through the water in some way? I believe that most hulls of boats and kayaks are ultra smooth for this reason.
Have you ever felt a sand shark
@@UrbanVanlife I have actually. Good point. It just seems counterintuitive. You know, same concept as waxing skis or snowboards, you'd think a smoother surface would have more glide.
as i said before good video matey also like the variation of thumbnail.
Had to be changed out mate as the video dropped and it’s been changed again since that as well . One thing Iv learnt is changing your thumb after droping the vid cos you want it 1/10 for at least 48 hrs b
What type of compressor did you use do you need a semi pro type or will a DIY type work? The finish on yours looks excellent, great video.
I have a 100 ltr one I bought from Aldi which is a cheap supermarket in the UK . If your not in the UK . It cost me about £80 to £100 I think but you can pick them up second hand . It’s just a basic compressor mate
@@UrbanVanlife I seen one of them in aldi a couple of weeks ago in Thorne it was only 90 quid I'll have to call in next week when I pass again
Wow. Glad I've seen this. Thanks for this video. This raptor thing is catching on. Can one use an electric spray gun with it?
I don’t see why you couldn’t mate I am not to sure but if it supply’s a decent amount of air flow then I guess yes you could
I kind of want to find something to use that stuff on just to try it. But I can't think of a thing that I could spray. Pretty sure Jessie won't let me spray his truck LOL. Oh and I love your VW shirt!!
Right? I'm sitting here just thinking of all the fun things I would love to spray this stuff on to!
@@StanleyOrchard LOL too funny!
Lol I’m sure Jessie would be more than happy if you sprayed his bumpers lol . Please video the reaction if you do
@@UrbanVanlife Should I also video the divorce proceedings? 🤣
Hiya mate love the vid, whats the max psi i can use on the raptor to get the finest finish, Cheers Jack
it all depends on the equipment your use in mate , alll id say is do a test and raise the psi if you want it finer , id hate to give a psi and it be wrong , buts do a little test start off low and see how it goes . the black sprays finer than the tintable . remember that
Thinking of painting my bumpers, how long do you need to leave it to dry before putting them back on? Would 1 or 2 rattle cans do the job?
iv never used the rattle cans mate but raptor id kind of dry within an hr , i mean you could drive it
Hey Neil question for you re raptor-ing a van - do you need to sand down the existing paint surface before applying this? Thanks Buddy!
more a case of scuffing it up , so a light sanding patti to get the shine off and your good to go
@@UrbanVanlife thanks Neil!
I am about to spray my van with raptor and I am a bit scared to mess it up. Did you try and fully cover the van on the first go, or did you do several coats?
we did the black stripes first , then masked it all up , and did the whole van in one go mate it took about 20 min in total , it goes on thick , and we only did 1 coat cos it covered so well
Hi is it just a case of rubbing old paintwork back to take shine of then your ready to go with raptor cheers
That’s it mate take off shine and go go go
I would love to see a video how all your electric is hooked up for us begginers lol cuz I ent got a clue and I would love a tv in myn
It’s really simple to be honest but I will get a video done to explain .. but basically I have a leisure battery which is connected to my main battery with a split relay charger Aand also a solar charger as well . Off from that battery I have a fuse box then off from there it goes to lights and things that need power . Hope this helps but I will get a video out
Yo Neil! I'm thing I'll waterproof then raptor my socks, so I can save some loot in not having to purchase shoes anymore.
Now that I think of it, that's a million dollar idea! Lol
That sir sounds stupid but is really smart
@@UrbanVanlife lol
Just wondering if Raptor paint could be applied with an electric spraygun - not a compressed air gun.
that i would not be sure about mate , it mat be worth contacting upol and asking them there very helpful
Can I ask about heat I have a fiat ducato maxi ex mini bus (lots of windows) which hasnt been insulated before all cupboards were put in, so my question is do you find black paint makes your van hotter than if I go for an oliver green (I dont do white)
yes its much hotter with the paint on , also raptor dose help keep the heat in . im in the uk so overheating in vans ist really something we have much of a issue with . well not for me any way . but to answer the question its hotter
Hi! Thank you for very good video!! Do you think, that you can spray on "old", already hard, Raptor surface, just using adhesion promoter? In my car are few shine spots, and i want to cover them with new layer Raptor.. Please help me..!! (Sorry my bad English..)
yer mate you can spray on top of raptor , thats not a problem at all mate i know people who have done it and its fine
Nice Lsu hat
Go tigers
Good info! But how is it possible that you did this entire video sitting inside your van and not once showed a decent shot of the exterior with this great paintjob?!?
We have plenty other videos on it showing the van . May be look at the others .
I have a bus that is fully fiberglass. Will indeed alot of adhesive layer?
I wouldn’t think so no . The bumper spray is mainly for plastics . With your van being fiber it should go on perfect . Iv seen many box vans done and non have used the primer spray
Cool looking van how many cans did you use on your T4 won’t to do mine
Did you even watch the video? lol. He tells you exactly the number of bottles used.
@@Viajero69 na couldn’t be arst
@@nickwoodards6208 The question was rhetorical.
Hi there I want to raptor coat my 4x4 black but can I put more black in to make it darker thanks
if you get the tintaable one then you can mix any paint in to it , that would be a better choice i think and get you the colour you want
I’m going to be attempting to paint my vw crafter with raptor! Any objections to just rolling it on?
dude your van your rules , iv seen people rollering it on and it looked great buddy , so yer man you can defo use a roller buddy , it saves a lot of faf in about dosnt it
@@UrbanVanlife Nice one! I’d love a go at spraying but haven’t got sensible space without upsetting the neighbours!
I've seen videos of people using a roller to paint it on , have you used a roller with raptor on anything
What size compressor did you use when spraying you van.
We have a 80 ltr one mate
Hi can I just use white spirit to thin it down ?
No mate not at all you’ll mess with the chemical balance and man I’d hate to see the outcome
Hi mate, can you thin it out abit to roller it on, as I am a place where I can not spray it with out mu neighbours ringing the police,?
Yer mate you can put it on with a roller . Iv seen it done and it looks great to be honest
@@UrbanVanlife thank you mate really appreciate it, I am half way through my bulid
Thanks for the info, I am about to start spraying our van, I am doing a two tone, Black on the bottom Rockers, White in the middle and Black on the roof. How long do you think I should wait in between sprays? I am worried about the tape lines damaging the liner.
I’d leave it about 3 to 5 days mate to let it cure properly
What about concrete? Will it stick to concrete? Anyone have any extra spray to try it out on concrete? Also Im thinking about getting some 4x8 ply spraying it with raptor liner and using it as the floor inside my van.
It should stick to concrete mate it sticks to glass
Do you recon I could use raptor and apply only with a roller?
Yeah we have seen people use a roller with it
Do you know anywhere with an L or CH postcode that has a van booth you can hire?
Sorry buddy not that either of us know of.
Can you roller paint raptor paint on your van? And if yes would it give a good finish? 👍
Yes you can, and it gives a fantastic finish!
What size compressor did you use ?
I have a 5ltr one mate . Hope that helps
What compressor was used? Cheers
I have a 50 ltr one mate from Lidl
How may cans of raptor paint to paint my LWB T4? Regards Subbed
At a rough guess I’d say 8 to 10
How many coats did you get with 9 bottles?
Only one coat mate, but we did have 2 different colours on the van not just all one colour!
Hi would you know how much raptor paint I would need to do a 2008 short wheel base ford transit please.
We used around 5/6 bottles in total on the T4 if that helps
I want a pink raptor paint van Mercedes. #ffea26. How much “harder” will I need?
i would love to see this , the big pink yrew wagon
Urban Explorer it would be so fun to travel in!!
That. Is. EPIC! lol
can you apply it with a roller
yes you sure can , they recommend a specific kind of rollar on the raptor sight , but im sure you can get exactly the same on ebay or amazon
I definitely laughed at hardner
You sound local to me how much would you charge to do it for someone?
we dont have the facility's to do it mate sorry
Is it easy cleaned like after driving through mud and sh##e👍
Of yer just hit it with the jet wash and it’s like new again mate
Raptors gr8. Bt can't afford it a t m.
yeah lots more expensive now than it was when we did T4, shame everything has risen in price!
Well if anyone scrapes your van, it's obvious who will come off better 😂
Van wins lol
Can you put stickers on it?
Raptor Paint reminds me of the new line of John Wayne toilet paper that's just been released, it's slogan states that "It's rough, it's tough, and it don't take 'excrement' from Indians"
Ha should have whited till the end of the video I know now 🙂
lol i was about to comment but i now know you know
My LWB crafter is all prepared for full raptor, just masking tomorrow after the rain then the magic happens😂. Pics on Instagram boris_the_crafter
Oh i can’t wait to see this . I leave today at 4pm to pick my new LWB crafter up . I am going to find you on insta right now
disappointing you didnt actually do a walkaround or anything of how it turned out...
there are plenty other videos you can see it mate like out t4 van tour
Would you do mine 🙂
we dont have the space to do it now mate sorry
It looks fucking awful
So I’m guessing your not a fan of raptor paint then . I’m just guessing here cos I’m a little unsure
