14:50 is where he gets to the point about HVLP application, if you’re interested.

Good video your explanation of things for the layman was pretty good, I’m a retired painter and I appreciate people that explain things well. Next time you do one of those if you’re getting tiger stripes, as soon as you’re done with the panel, move the gun further away and do a cross coat, just light like your dusting it over the top it’ll melt into what’s already there and get rid of your tiger stripes

upol recommends reducing the raptor by 15-20 max with urethane reducer to spray from a 1.4mm-2mm HVPL gun which also gives you about 25% more material

Thank you a ton. You saved me a lot of time by answering all of the questions I had about the Raptor Liner paint job deal. Nice work!

Outstanding video. The HVLP is the way I'm going, Thanks

Nice job! looking forward to the final reveal!

We absolutely love this product. We have used it on 2 seperate videos. We did a quick how to on a tundra bed and then did our fx4 rebuild rewr bumper and bumper filler. Absolutely love it.

I like it. Can't wait to see it all put back together.

Looking forward to the reveal!

I thought this video was one of the better videos done on spraying raptor liner. Thanks for taking your time in putting this together. Helped me out a whole bunch.

Great video I am currently building a 2000 xj and this video makes me want to do this to it. Keep up the great work

Enjoyed watching. Been thinking of raptor lining my truck. I like that you used both raptor and custom coat bed liner.

Would be nice for you to share the air pressure and mixing details with us. nice job

Very useful video and with amazing tech info 12:40 , learned a lot today. Subscribing. Thanks.

subbed. dood you explain stuff so well, honestly such a great video. i look forward to the content you have to offer

that is a pretty blue. good job man it looks fantastic!

This morning I enjoyed watching your first spraying of your Jeep, and now have watched the Raptor respraying. Enjoyed it too! I can tell you'rehappier with the second results. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the differences, and also your mods on the HF gun. You've helped increase my confidence level to the point I'm ready to spray my derelict PT Cruiser (impossible to "ruin," right?). You seem like a very pleasant guy. Thank you! Tom

Excellent video

Yuppers The Kah looks Great! 5 ***** Stars pops!

Thanks for this video. It was very informative.

Very cool,i did subscribe,i did my toyota tacoma in U-pol rapter over a year ago in ford tractor blue finish and till this day i still get lots of compliments with the texture,i only used one kit and still had just enough to do the door jams,i love raptor liner paint and i asked my mife if i could paint her mercedes Benz but she said no 😂😂😂,oh well you did a great job on the jeep it looks as sweet as mine 👌

Great video brotha. Explained very well. I’d have a beer with you any day. I’m currently in the process of trying to paint my Mercedes Sprinter. Frustrating learning curve with the hvlp but I’m getting better!

Dzl freek oh, you sir are cracking me up. As a Mason I can say that, you're a carpenter where it rains, first of all here in Tucson ring I know user Carpenters when will it rain and no scratches on the side of your truck out here we call that Arizona pinstriping. And yeah that raised orange-peel texture is going to catch dirt mud bugs, it's hell to keep clean. I look forward to seeing it though . It's my pleasure to hit like , until next time my friend. One more thing my first Cherokee with a 93 sport is only two wheel, it was fast as hell with a stick

Hi Rick, next time your at Harbor Freight they have a numbered drill bit set, that way you could dial in the spray tip. The increments are very small from one bit to the next. Nice job.

Looks goodm👍

I say this often - usually people tell me to go do one.. - but you don't need to do the "modify the gun" thing. Leave the gun stock (HVLP/LVLP) . You can spray bedliner just fine with a 1.3 tip. If anything, you get a far nicer finish. Mix it stock bedliner to hardener, add 30% reducer, mix the hell out of it & put it in the gun through a 100 micron mesh boggo paint-strainer cone. Important part then is to bang the air-pressure up far higher than you'd spray paint at.. Voila - the gun sprays bedliner beautifully. I usually run at around 50/60 psi where I would be spraying base/clear down in the twenties. The extra air pressure atomises bedliner nice, leaves a real nice finish without the fugly big lumpiness, just a nice textured finish. I used use a modified (drilled out to 2mm) gun - then one day I couldn't find it so I used my usual LVLP gun - which is when the penny dropped. Up the pressure. That gives you a 100% nicer finish that won't trap dirt & look crap - it will look pretty damn cool.

I’m thinking about throwing some raptor in an airless big tip blow n go. Looks like the consistency of house paint

Thanks for the tip I am going to do that to my spray gun that custom coat gun does lay it down to fast.

Good color choice. Kind of glad you ended up with the 2 different brands. Gave us a true comparison between the 2. Car manufacturers have used a similar product for years called chip guard. You can get it at any automotive paint supply for when you're doing repairs. You'll see it on any vehicle down low on the rocker panels, behind wheel openings, and just about anywhere you might have road debris hit. It's also thin-able to vary the texture. This is probably where products like these were born from. For vehicles like your jeep and what you use it for, you couldn't do anything better to give you a lasting finish. Based on what texture you got from the modified HVLP what would you take the opening up to if you wanted to get somewhere between the 2 guns that you used?

Killer job

should have gone to Lowes! I got a sanding block and a whole pack of 180 grit sand paper for $8!

Nice

idk if you can use the green type pad butt you get like 4 or 5 in a pack from dollar tree 600 grit I believe works good on cleaning pots and pans haven't tried polishing yet

I know I'm way late here, but thought I should throw in that raptor and custom coats are the same product just different labels...and apparently amounts. Nice color choice.

I think it looks great I want to paint my 06 Honda ridgeline the same color as yours I can tell you’re a professional great job

Gotta know who was that playing 6th avenue heartache?? Great track.

Fantastic info mate! Two thumbs up. I just assumed you needed to replace the needle as well as the tip to get a HVLP gun to spray thicker paint. Just drilling out the tip on a cheaper gun sounds like the way to go! Would you use that same gun as a putty or high build primer spray gun?

I did Raptor bed liner on the roof of my Ford Explorer due to heavy rusting living next to the gulf of mexico in Corpus Christi Tx. I rolled the liner on with the kit that came with the raptor liner and I realized the texture came from the roller. I thought the texture was in the liner. I was wondering if I could spray it with HVLP but an electric Graco TrueCoat 360 Variable Speed Electric Handheld Airless Paint Sprayer...I will probably be respraying the roof and after seeing how easy it was to spray the complete vehicle you have inspired me to give it a try. I will be using any links you have in the description for products.

What psi were you spraying at and what did you think it with?

Not to sure about "your not such a bad guy" I really needed to see you sanding the other side of the jeep and paint them fender flares black Make it pop! JK Seriously if I was you I would have taken that last bottle of raptor and spray those fender flares black Awesome video! Very informative great word choices and just good clean family fun. I would thoroughly enjoy you being my neighbor I could learn a lot, Great job

I wonder if a airless sprayer may work better?

I'd like to see what a paint job looks like just using the HVLP and bedliner product. Probably would be a nice flat matte but still a pretty durable surface.

I saw a Jeep the other day with a finish like that. Does the factory offer it? Good vid, Lee

Hello bit of a long shot 🤔 but can you remember the. Colour code of that blue , love it, thanks

Back to my most favorite thing to do... complain

hi rick its winner winner chicken dinner still using the knife, have you ever painted over or put more coats on the jeep and what did you do for prep work to etch the first coat I did my camper van and need to put more on it after a year thanks

How has the adhesion of the liner been holding up after the scuff and re-shoot?

Hi. Nice job. Is that blue Raptor Liner that you used UP4860?

Hey I sprayed my tool box and headache rack with raptor and I notice I kinda mis some spots now being a year it looks good but I am deciding too spray a second coat .question is do I just decrease and spray?

Do you think 2 quarts of the custom coat will be enough to do just the roof and is it just as good as raptor liner

Did you thin that raptor liner down before using the hvlp gun?

What temperature was it where you sprayed? You appear to be bundled up quite a bit for the recommended 60 degrees?

Question, how do you get more product from a 1 gallon raptor kit than a 1 gallon custom coat kit? Are they not truly a 1 gallon kit? Not trolling, serious question. I'm going to bed liner coat my 2000 excursion and looking for the best kit to use.

I like the blue. Are you someplace that sees real weather, how is it holding up? 1/16" - 1.5875mm, or just a hair under 1.6mm if you wiggled any drilling the hole it's probably a little bigger than 1.6mm 5/64"- 1.984mm, again. Probably just a hair over 2.0mm by the time you got the hole drilled. you kept saying 5/32", which is close to 4mm, I don't think you drilled that, last I looked at the HF caps I'm not sure that there is enough meat to go over about 2.2mm or so, it's getting really thin around 2mm. Post your links in your description also, people viewing on a mobile device won't see them otherwise.

Question: Could you spray bed-liner on your wheel wells, like in a little car, to deaden the road noise? And maybe the engine compartment on a bus to deaden the engine noise?

Well sir, I find us kindred spirits once again regarding projects lol. I built a very similar Skoolie as you, and became a subscriber way back then. I digress, my question to you sir is if you were repeating this process and wanted a somewhat smoother yet durable finish, would you recommend shooting it solely with a HVLP with a 2mm fluid tip? Also did you thin it to the recommendation of 10% when shooting it through HVLP?

What ratio did you use material/thinner/hardener etc to spray it out of the HVLP gun?

The raptor and the custom stuff is the same brand just different label.

I would hate to tell you the tcp global who makes custom coat,makes raptor liner in the same building....

You can use a clear coat.

Where did you get the liner with color

Do you think I can spray my jeep jk with a 12gallon air compressor?

You say distance changes the texture on hvlp. Which way? Closer or farther is smoother? Supposedly Custom Coat is made by Raptor. I've read about Raptor spray guns accidentally being put in Custom Coat kits.

What was the hlvp gun you used, I don’t recall seeing the part number for harbor freight?

What size is your air compressor

Is raptor better than costume coat?

I've seen Custom Coat get shipped with Raptor hardener and Raptor product shipped in place of Custom Coat liner. U-Pol markets the Raptor product and, TCP Global the Custom Coat. I don't think either TCP Global or, U-Pol makes many (if any) of their own products. They both seem to be primarily marketing companies. I suspect that both products are manufactured by the same nameless 3rd party chemical company and, supplies the product to both. The Custom Coat is very similar to or, may in some cases possibly be just repackaged Raptor. I worked in retail and have seen this before. Usually the parties have a legal agreement and an obligation not to disclose this information. I don't know this for a fact but, it seems a good rational guess. The Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) would tell the story, if you know how to read it.

What color is that exactly

home depot for sandpaper and tape

Hello... I want to spray Upol Anti Corrosive Expoy Primer on my truck that I sanded down to the metal and then I want to spray Raptor liner on top of that with a "Fuji Industrial Spray Equipment PLATINUM-T70 Fuji 3005-T70 Q5 Platinum Quiet HVLP Spray System" I want to use the Fuji spray system for the primer and the Raptor liner. Getting proper thinning of the Raptor to optimize atomization through the Fuji system will be key. Have you heard of a Zahn cup or #4 Ford cup? In order for a paint to spray properly through an HVLP sprayer I understand that it should be thinned to where it flows properly out of a Zahn or Ford cup. From what I understand the Upol Anti Corrosive Expoy Primer should shoot well out of the Fuji Spray 1.8mm tip without any reducer. It's the Raptor liner that is thicker and will need to be reduced. I am planning on using using "Restoration Shop / Custom Shop - UR70 Medium Urethane Reducer (Gallon) for Automotive Paint and Industrial Paint" and wait until the ambient temperature is appropriate before I spray. Would it be best to get a Fuji spray 2.0mm tip to spray the reduced Raptor liner or do you think I can I just spray the unreduced raptor liner with a 2.0mm tip? I would greatly appreciate any tips or insights for what I am trying to do.

15:45 Hvlp 5/32 drill bit modify your gun 🔫

It's the same stuff they just rebrand them

Never care for AutoZone, Would stand behind some brake parts when they failed (lifetime warranty parts) so I switched to Advance. Now I use Rock Auto. But for future reference, try this. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002SQYF0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My understanding has been that Raptor and Custom are 100% the same product just different branding

O

$5 for half a scuff pad?!?!??! You got eff'd without a kiss! 3M (red) #7447 box of 20 $19.99. (Whole ones too, BTW) You have other vehicles in stock that will require scuffing. Get with the program. Required shop supplies should be on hand.

Will you be my dad?

A jeep.... Lol... That's lame...
