Raptor Painting My Sprinter RIOT VAN With A Roller & Brush | DIY VAN PAINT JOB SERIES PART TWO

- This video is where it all gets rolling (pardon the pun). This is the second part of this three part series, and in this video I get the bulk of the work done with painting my van. As you'll already know if you watched the first part, I am using U'Pol Raptor paint to do this; and as we don't have the space to spray the van, we're going at it by hand using textured rollers and a brush for the cutting in.
So, in this video, I prepare the van for painting, get the sanding done, apply the paint and restore the headlights (as well as chuck a cheeky bit of tint on them).
You'll see a glimpse of the van at the end, but a full reveal will be coming next week!
If you're looking to do the same size vehicle, this is what I recommend buying...
1x 5L Black Raptor paint
2x 5L Tintable Raptor paint
1x 5L Raptor hardner
1x 1L Tint (colour of your choice)
10x Assorted paint brushes
2x Raptor roller tray kit (save these rollers for your final coat)
1x Raptor adhesion promotor
10x Textured roller heads (link below)
80-180 grit sand paper
Abrasive pads
Isopropanol Alcohol (Clean the vehicle before paint)
Mixing paint pots
I brought all of my Raptor products from Marlow paint suppliers

Very thorough job there , I’ll be doing mine this summer, thanks for the tips
Thanks, just don’t do it on a really hot day unless you’re undercover 👍🏼 find me on Instagram and let me know how it goes.
Nice video and the van is looking great 👍 well done
Thank you, part 3 will be out Monday and you’ll get to see it finished…well van builds are never truly finished 😄
Great video all round,just one question how many 5ltrs tubs was used?
2x 5Ltr tintable
1x 5Ltr black
Glad you enjoyed the video and all the information of what I used is in the description 👍🏼
Best to have a few mini rollers at hand or sleeves and keep,the handle clean.
Have you painted a vehicle yourself with raptor paint?
Looks great Cam… love the colours! Texture might make it a pain to clean? All in all, good job! 👍🏻
Thanks a lot 👍🏼 Definitely can’t use a sponge on it but a decent scrubbing brush apparently works well.
@@livinginkevlar Long Handle scrubbing brush/broom with a bucket of decent snow foam works a treat Cam if you can get one👍
Should have hired a compressor and done it the easy way. It looks really difficult to cover with a roller and you had to work your arse off to achieve what you did. Bet the neighbours love you in mock tudorville.
I already have a compressor, I did mention it in my video but I think I would have to do more prep work like cover the driveway, my neighbours cars, garage door etc in the end I thought it would be better to roller it. The only downside was the heat so if it was cooler I think it would of been a lot easier. Actually my neighbours are really nice apart from one miserable git! 😂
Just come across this channel love van life videos so defo gunna sub but the music makes me feel like this guy likes Tasha sultana's music
😂 I totally do!
And thanks for the sub 👍🏼
@@livinginkevlar I knew it love her music too and love the content I will defo tune in every week like I do with all my van life content creators. Keep up the grind and hopefully one day I'll spot this beauty of a van in Bournemouth one day
Peeling the tray shows the importance of keying the body before you paint
Absolutely! So glad I put in all the extra effort to make sure it stuck to the bumper and trims.
I don't understand the spray on the headlights. I'd want mine clear. Most importantly, are you happy now happy with the result?
It’s just me being fussy! There is chrome in the headlights and nowhere els on the bodywork so I just wanted a smoky tint to it to hide the chrome. If I’m being honest they could do with less tint on them but I messed up, however I do have extra lights on the van now to help me see at night. Safe to say though I’m over the moon with the end result mate 👍🏼
Dont see the point in spraying lights
I didn’t like the chrome in the headlights, it doesn’t match the vehicle. I did only want a light smoke tint so I’m probably going to sand them back again.
Does it peel off the van as easily as the paint tray 😂🤣😂🤣
So far it’s staying on the van 😂
