Citroen Relay Full Raptor, how to mix Raptor.

Hi guys,
In this video we take an ex Quirky camper, namely Orion the camper van and give it a new lease of life.
It's fair to say Orion was looking a little bit tired and battered when it came in after years of rental but we soon sorted that.
Now sporting a full Olive green and black Raptor coat and a new set of Rogue alloys it's turning heads once again.
As an added bonus I also give you a little tutorial on how to mix and tint your Raptor paint, apologies if I waffle during this bit. I have been known to stretch out a story lol.
Thanks for checking it out and much appreciation to everyone who likes and subs etc, still blown away by how well my little channis doing so thank you to you all 🤗
As always, stay safe, stay entertained and I'll see you in the next one 👌

loving the videos but i guess doing the same vans in almost the same colour gets a bit boring but you seem to love the painting though just curious is their a vehicle that you haven't done that you would like to and what colour would you paint it keep up with the great work your doing stay safe yourself

@roughtownraptors 5 ай бұрын

Cheers buddy, glad you're enjoying them 😊 It can get a bit repetitive sometimes but I usually just bang a pod cast on and switch off lol. That said I've had more repetitive jobs in the past, worked in a textile mill for 6 years walking up and down a winding frame, that was repetitive, and back in the days before podcasts lol. I'd love to do a brand new defender, black with grey detailing, think it would look awesome, full safari pack one 😁 Thanks, I try to 🙏

Great vid quick question what happens if moisture in rainy weather gets into any of the raptor or do you do full job inside cheers👍

@roughtownraptors 5 ай бұрын

I do the full job inside usually bud unless it's the height of summer like this one was. Only did inside the doors outside as it was a flag cracking day lol. Raptor and moisture doesn't mix well, you need a dry environment for painting in, same with any car paint 👍

@briandevitt6903 5 ай бұрын

Very nice, I would definitely consider it. Charcoal grey maybe, the green is cool but slightly too Military looking for me. How does this paint stand up to the elements if a Van was on a driveway for winters rather than in a garage? Thanks

@roughtownraptors 5 ай бұрын

Cheers buddy, tbh I always think the standard black is more of a charcoal grey colour. Stands up well to the elements, it was designed as bed liner for pick ups etc, hence why they market it as the king of tough, has high UV resistance too. There are some vids on yt of guys in America and Oz doing 5 or 10 year reviews on it. Still pretty new over here but they've been using it for years👍

Great vid mate , couple questions , how many litres did it take to cover the van and also is that just one coat , if its more than 1 coat whats the process in prepping for another coat 👍🏻

@roughtownraptors 5 ай бұрын

Cheers buddy, glad you like it. A full van takes around 26 bottles with the black, a couple of heavy coats to lay the colour and then as many dust coats as it takes to even it out, usually 3 or 4, dust coats are light and fast 👍

do you use raptor on plastics ie do you need anything to prme?

@roughtownraptors 3 ай бұрын

Yes I used raptor on the plastics, you can use adhesion promoter but if you scotch them well enough with 180 grit then you'll be fine. Don't go any coarser or the plastic will start fluffing 👍

hi, was wondering what primer do you use as the raptor primer is stupidly expensive, thanks

@roughtownraptors 3 ай бұрын

Hi, there are a couple of makes I use tbh, hb body, general rock, depends on what you're priming too, you will be paying for the raptor name though. Any decent branded primer should be up to the job though.

Is this the truck bed liner stuff? what's the idea of painting the entire vehicle with it?

@roughtownraptors 4 ай бұрын

Hi Henry, yeah this was originally designed as bedliner then people across the pond started doing custom jobs in it and it's catching on over here. It's a tougher hard wearing coating, more of a polymer then a paint. Also looks cool as f*** when it's done right 👌😎

Honestly couldn't tell you on that mate as I've always used 2k tints. Upol are very helpful, if you give their customer service desk a call they'll give you all the info on it and whether your tints will work with it. Failing that trial and error, mix a small test cup and see if it colours or reacts👌

Start on the edge away from the quarter light, it comes off easier there, the part down the quarter light pillar is the tightest so you have to give them a good tug there 👍
