RAPTOR LINER! How to mix and spray tintable raptor liner. | Four Aces | 61 Impala | Building Cars | Lonestar Lows | Classic Car Build Restoration
A lot easier and cleaner to mix in the bottles. If your worried about it mixing up just drop a steel nut in the bottle to help when shaking, like in a spray paint can
I use this process nowadays. Thanks
after your first coat. stand back and do a drop coat and itll look alot better
This is an absolutely amazing product. We have done a tundra bed and also our plastic bumper filler and rear bumper. It is simple easy and amazing.
Oil resistant too
@@lonestarlows yeah and I imagine it's a great undercoating product for those northern vehicles
Wow glad I found this vid.you answered all my questions I was struggling to understand.thank you
U can mix ur own base coat that u use on ur car with the liner n mix it thanks in advance
Yes
When I did my cargo van floor, it was dry in a few hours. It was cold out too. Within 10hrs it was hard as a rock. Definitely doesn't take 24hrs to dry
Good to know thanks
Mix it in the bottle and didnt have a problem with color just shake it for 2 to 5 mins and it's good
I did the same and the project came out excellent.
Upol recommends mixing it outside the bottles.
i prefer to mix it in the containers. its spray factor is good enough for the hand held sprayer. also a lot of people dont spray mix it with color they go black etc.
good tip for those that want to color match.
Rocket said he mixed in container and it was coming out pink. But also read where red is a harder color to mix for some reason.
Nice project.....I have a flat bed build on my 3500hd on my channel and ordering later today 8 liters, maybe 10 liters. I will be using truck at ranch so I need a thick coat. Still debating on using regular black liner on white truck.
The black liner should coat it very quick. Might not need as much raptor as you think. Recently i did a light grey raptor over black epoxy and it took an extra liter to cover over the black
Add don't first in the bottle, then shake for 2 minutes, then add the harder (which acts as a thinner) and shake again for a further 2 minutes. Should have no issue with tint not being m used through.
Love watching your videos. If I lived in texas, I'd be your best friend...lol
😎
What would I have to cover up and mask off if I used this in my wheel wells and as an undercoat??? Or is this product not recommended for that? This also seems super super affordable for what? $125? I think you said...
Just mask off as you would paint and go to town
Lone Star and Rocketman man with some valuable tips for first timers out there. Thanks guys.
Is one coat enough? .....and what about doing underside of inner fenders?
Tough one last night buddy......
I think its gauged more on coverage than coats. We got uniform coverage after about a full coat and then hitting some missed or thin spots. I plan to paint the fender wells. Cole blew it last night.
Awesome 👍🏾
Wow you guys did it ass backwards, mix the paint and hardener into the actual bottle and shake it, do it faster and shake the hell out of it for 60 to 90 sec, then spray it, do one can at a time it kicks pretty fast
@1:17 he clearly explains why he doesnt do it that way.. lol literally 1 minute in
Question. Since this was new metal did you just sand it or did you use an itching primer. The mild steel I am using is very smooth. I tried a sander and nothing happened really but that's on the inside skirt. I want to prep the outside better and might try a hand held sand blaster kit to get things rough without digging to much into the steel.
It wasnt new metal. I had a mobile sand blaster come and sand blast the floors. Then 2 coats of epoxy primer that has a 7 day recoat window and sprayed the raptor directly over the epoxy primer within the recoat window.
Try 80 grit on the bare metal then epoxy primer. The epoxy needs 80 grit scratches or courser for proper adhesion
@@lonestarlows Thanks, just got to the city and stopping at the Auto Paint store. I am looking for the primer here and ordering the raptor in a few minutes. Thanks
@@lonestarlows I asked at the paint shop and they told me use 60 grit and no epoxy primer. I think I will order the upol brand epoxy anyways. Thanks.
gun is a throwaway i just toss them after, the color can reach the bottom of the tin-table raptor but it needs to be machine mixed on an pneumatic agitator by hand is almost impossible, and can do the tint first then the activator to allow better mixing.
I cleaned the gun because im cheap...
Did u find that the tint was super expensive?
Great video always wondered about that product 👍
Glad it helps
Are you supposed to scuff the metal first then spray
@@joemedina2249 the epoxy i used has adhesive capabilities for up to 72 hours. So no.not in this case
Can I get the info on the raptor liner. Where to get a kit..looks good
Add two 1/2 inch nuts to the container of liner and your hardener and tint will mix so easily and quickly. Just like rattle can paint. Try it next time. Will save you so much time and mess.
Thats a really good idea. Thanks for that
there is actually a big ball bearing in the container..thats why you shake the shit out of it in multiple directions..but if doing it the way shown in the video, pour the 8oz hardener into the bottles to get the material left in the bottles then pour that into the mixing cup to stir
Thanks for the video guys is very helpfull. Quick question that was regular basecoat paint right i can use any brand?
When u go to buy the paint tell them no binders in the paint. But yeah. Cheap shop line works.
What's up Lonestar Lows I was just wondering how you prepare or seal the floor brace welds before primer and Raptor liner?
Usually epoxy and then raptor right on top without sanding anything
Thank you guys for this super explaining vídeo.
What kind on colour are you using?
I mean, its Aqua based? Acrilic? Thank you very much.
Urethane
Quick Question,
If I was to get the 8 Bottle kit, I'd need 1.5 Pints of Base coat right ? Also, What PSI did you use ?
Yes 3oz x 8 is 24 oz or 1.5 pint. It's really an approx. I did another trunk this past weekend and i just poured some basecoat in the bottle and called it good....45 psi
what did you use to tint the liner
What size air compressor could one get away with spraying with?
Lone star did you guys recommend and would use again?? secondly is there any certain epoxy primers this stuff wont stick to correctly? or don't matter much?
I will use again. I think it sticks to just about anything
do you just use any color paint or is the a specific paint that you have to use to tint it i was wanting to go sandy cream clour im not sure what i should use to do it
Any color u want
I have a question; Do you use just use any automotive paint to mix in? Any other type of paint you can mix in with the timetable kind?
@GetMooreProductions >The type of paint that must be use, comes from the paint shop. Paint is pigment, resins, drying agent. This does not use resins, as that will thin out the color. A single stage or base color is used with only the drying agent added. The drying agent changes the pigment into a shiny single stage or urethane enamel. With out the drying agent, it will not cure or cross-link. No reason for the resins or binders as this weakens the color. Only the drying agent is needed and the Raptor has the resin or binder in it, and obviously the hardener is added. Otherwise, the color is weakened or fades 20% of original color. This is what I understand from paint shops.
I hope this helps as the folks who made the video did not respond.

Can your shoot this raptor liner over any primer
I supposed so...
Is it a good way to go to just spray the liner to sheet metal? Or just to primer?
I think the metal needs to be coated with something to prevent corrosion...then raptor
Good work guys. After it drys out what's the finish product? Is it flat or glossy finish?
Maybe semi? Between flat and semi. I dont know how the black raptor dries out
@@lonestarlows
Ok. Cool thank you for the info.
Did you use paint or tint? Where did you get the paint or tint? Was it color matched? Thanks
Paint. Ppg store local
i mixed it in the bottle...no idea what you mean by the comment about the paint not getting to the bottom.. you decide what the bottom is bt how you hold the bottle. theres a ball bearing in the bottle to accomplish the mixing
I just see it as trying to mix a shot glass in a milk shake..
@@lonestarlows sure...but theres nearly a dime size ball bearing in the container..it mixes during the 2 minutes shaking
On my latest raptor job i poured out a brand new bottle....was no ball bearings?
@@lonestarlows all 3 of the ones i used had it.. it was about half inch diameter if i recall.. since i rolled mine on i had to pour it out..but they didnt come out until i added a little remaining hardener to the bottle to get as much of the contents out
Should I use reduced base coat or unreduced for raptor liner?
Unreduced
Hey bro first of all Id like to thank you and commend you on your videos great source of advice thanks man! Just want to ask about this coating i heard it eventually creates moisture between the metal and the liner and rusts out the metal through time is this true i could be getting it mixed up with rhino liner. Any advice once again is highly appreciated.
I dont see how the coating could "create" moisture? Maybe? Its oil resistant so i dont think water will get by it. But maybe. Would take a very long time i think. Its good stuff. Used it again yesterday
@@lonestarlows oh ok i think the one i heard did that was because its a rubberized coating so yeah i probably got mixed up thanks
I may have missed this in the comments below, but how would I know for sure if a paint has a binder in it if I'm ordering it online without customer service? I need a Qt can of white, and Qt can navy blue. Can you direct me to product on Amazon, or other location where it does not contain a binder? Thanks
This is an old video. I've learned since then. Binder or no binder doesn't really matter
I appreciate your response, and that makes things much easier. Thank you.
Was this color the light gray or basalt gray?
Destroyer grey. Or ceramic gray. Same thing
Let’s say I buy the tintable kit. What type of paint should I buy? Specifically. Please and thank you
Any automotive paint
Have you used any of the LizardSkin products? They are located in Houston. I am wanting something to keep the heat out, future A/C in and sound control.
No i havent. I didnt know they were local.
i did my 89 toyota pickup exterior in tinted raptor, i rolled it on, got 2 coats and didnt use 4 bottles.. but i also didnt do the interior of the bed
How did rolling it compare to what you've seen for spraying?
@@whitesuitblackpants i used a really fine foam roller so the texture is more like a painted wall in your house.. its just harder n has a satin kind of finish. i feel like its more efficient terms of quantity of product used.. i did an 89 toyota 4x4 pickup, all exterior surfaces with 2 coats, minus the bed interior and i used 3 of the lite bottles.. if you shoot me your email i can shoot you a pic of finished product. the finish is textured but not sticky per se
Is that a regular basecoat? I used the Color Your Hippo version and it called for the basecoat to be mixed without any binders.
On another note, I used a Custom Coat (TCP Global brand) and it has a tintable color you add to the same style jugs. I didn't have any issue with the color not mixing right.
Yes its a regular basecoat without binders
lonestar lows gotcha. So same story with either. Thanks 👍🏽👍🏽
Few things I'll say the reason they probably don't send a whole gallon kit is because you use the quart sizes to spray on to the gun if you had to hold a whole gallon spraying the whole time it would be impossible to do it very nicely secondly you're not using the hardener to reduce the texture you're using the PSI to do the texturing so 40 PSI is going to give you a thicker texture vs 70 PSI is going to give you a thinner texture it has nothing to do with that mixing procedure
Thanks. Have used raptor a few times since this video. Have learned alot since then. But I left the video up for people to watch
@@lonestarlows no it's still a great video still there aren't many out on mixing
youre sposed to add the hardener for the paint base to the paint base before mixing it with raptor liner and youre sposed to pour the raptor hardener into the empty bottle to remove any liner material left in it after pouring it into your mixing container,,,,, and pot life is one hour not overnight
Whar?
So you can match your paint with this stuff?
Yes
Where do I get the color from and where do I get the colorless raptor?
Tintable can be purchased from Amazon and if bought from Amazon it comes with the spray gun. The color is whatever car paint you want to purchase I bought a quart off Ebay
Any raptor can put the paint you want? Thanks..
It has to be the tintable raptor they offer. Not the black
How does the color turn out compared to the tint before hand? I'm doing an under body and want it to be close to the body color.
Invest in the pro gun ...u will love it 100x better
Pro gun? What's that and how is it better than the schutz?
Is that just to achieve that finer finish without reducing it?
(UPL-UP4880 Gun) ....you can get a way better and smoother finish.....
@@mrhitthat13 awesome, thank you. I'm spraying my 2015 wrx in a mint color using raptor so I want to smoothest most consistent finish I can get.
We do 2 turns out and around 60 psi
What PSI were you running?
About 40
U think that kit is enough to do a 6.5 Chevy bed
I think so. Depending on what color is covering what color
You have to shake it for a couple minutes. It's a bitch but it works good.
