prefer a fine texture, especially when applying an entire vehicle. This is the look of the quality products of LineX. This no doubt works best modifying the tip of an HVLP gun. By also modifying the air cap it enables a good sized pattern at higher air pressures. I use a screw air compressor capable of much higher air pressures and unlimited quantity. Without an air cap to atomize the additional material flowing through the tip there is not the look you want over the supplied guns from Raptor
I was searching for a video like this. Awesome!!! I want to Raptor my F150 and im not a fan of the really course spray. HVLP 1.8 tip reduced 10% at 31PSI .. Thanks
That spray gun that comes with the cheaper Raptor kit is not adjustable, you would need the pricey $80 Raptor professional Upol 4880 vari- nozzle application gun then you can adjust the nozzle in and out for different textures!
Does this protect the frame? Isnt tgis the stuff they put up north to "protect against rhe road salt and snow"? Yet wnds up locking in mosture and hidding the rust underneath?
Just curious if you had a bigger tip then tightened up the needle can’t you adjust it to get the right texture instead of using different guns? Get the max texture with the needle opened up and a fine texture with the needle closed in and just adjusting the air pressure as you go? That way you could have a decent fan for large areas and a small fan for tight areas I’m sure it’s all a big learning curve
How is the frame holding up? Im looking to do this to my 89 k3500 dually frame. I was told it likes to peel at the edges, have you had any issues like that?
I like the 8 minute mark one. I don't believe you said how u thinned, am I correct to assume paint thinner? also I thought the texture was partially to do with the compounds used in the material. if so did your gun with 1.8 tip seem to be getting clogged at all?
I used U-Pol's standard reducer (up2452) to thin it. I didn't have any issues with the primer gun getting clogged with the 1.8 tip. I would experiment with it, just to make sure it is what you want.
I don't understand why people want raptor on the frame. I would prefer mud and dirt to slide off a slick paint than stick to a textured paint. Although the texture does hide shame (pitting) so that makes sense. good video.

it does nothing ...sprayed lots of this stuff i drilled my gun out at the end gave me a slightly wider pattern and i stay bout 18 inches away high pressure for the look i wanted
@@autorestorationvlog3935 nice!! Cant wait to see the end result!!! Curiosity, where are you getting your panels? I've got a 78 gmc c10 and looking to replace some too. Hood, box and kicks. Do you trust LMC? I've heard good and bad.
I use the Devilbiss Finish Line flg4 for spraying all of my high build primers. It did come with a 1.8 and a 2.2 tip. I'm debating on getting 3M's new disposable gun system for doing all of my high Build primers though
I wasted almost a liter doing those experiments and I was still able to get the frame fine with the remainder of the 4 liter kit. I would think you could do that frame with one 4 liter kit.
I’m not talking crap really I’m not,what I don’t under stand about the people that make CZcams channels why the heck do you guys talk so much????? Honestly I don’t know what I’m doing with some of my projects that I got going on so I turn to you folks on how to videos,but gee wiz if a video is 30 minutes I swear I’m lucky to get 8 minutes of education on how to do something, again I’m sorry but I get sick to death on hearing about something that doesn’t even pertain to what I looked up
I media blast all of the steel that is to be raptor lined. For plastic, I would clean it with wax and grease remover, scuff it with a red Scotch-Brite pad and use an adhesion promoter like U-Pol's up0799
Auto Restoration Vlog awesome. Yea I’m about to switch to Raptor stuff, I tried the duplicolor bed armor and used the red scotch pad but it didn’t seem to really scuff anything so I wasn’t sure if it was just the duplicolor stuff or the sanding
So glad I found this video. I much prefer the texture of the paint guns over the raptor gun. Great video! Thank you for sharing.
Much more informative than others I have seen. Thanks for your time making video
Thanks for your time and experience for showing this.

The primer gun has a nice wider pattern the other gun was way to narrow and leaves like trails.
That comparison was impressive.

I’m sure the higher the pressure then finer the finish. 30psi is to low you need 60psi.

@@autorestorationvlog3935 how much reducer do i add to the bottle with use with hvlp gun? Thanks in advance
@@escandonjesus1 I thought it could only be reduced 15%, but looking at their faq page they say it can be reduced 20%
Hi, what do you mean with "reduce to 10%" i want that finish but i still don´t understad how to prepare mix for it, thanks in advance.
What did you do to prep? I wanted to spray some abs plastic pieces but would love to do it on the car, hand sand?

Better abrasion resistance than paint, so less likely to rust in the future.
Bc not everyone are putting their junk in mud 🤣 I did mine bc it's a street truck so I wanted more rust protection than anything

⚠️ Quran
What size compressor do you have?
How much reducer did you add to the bottle of raptor liner?
Can you put a link for the gun ?
Also when you say set at 26PSI, is this the setting before spraying material or 26 when the product is flowing. It always drops a few lbs
Usually pressures givin are for usage ie: active spraying psi
Do you think reducing it will affect its durability or uv rating.
I wouldn't think so. I believe they say in the instructions that it can be reduced up to 15%.
@@autorestorationvlog3935 is that with regular urethane reducer ??
What did you use for reducer?
How would screwing out the tip on the raptor gun change the pattern when its just a tube ?
it does nothing ...sprayed lots of this stuff i drilled my gun out at the end gave me a slightly wider pattern and i stay bout 18 inches away high pressure for the look i wanted
Does it stick that good?
Looks like a 73-80 chev pickup hood
Yep. It's the hood of the '75 k20. I am going to end up replacing every piece sheet metal on the thing

What did you use to clean your gun after spraying the Upol?
I use thinner, but their tech sheet says you can use acetone.
What gun are you using and do they come with the 1.8 and 2.2 tips?
I use the Devilbiss Finish Line flg4 for spraying all of my high build primers. It did come with a 1.8 and a 2.2 tip. I'm debating on getting 3M's new disposable gun system for doing all of my high Build primers though
How much Raptor did it take to do the frame? I am looking at doing a 1993 F150 Supercrew frame with it

How did it hold up?
What are you thinning the product down with
Hello Steve, I used U-Pol's standard reducer (up2452) to thin it.
@@autorestorationvlog3935 hey let me ask you a very important question can you sand on this and then respray to get some holidays out of it
