Just yesterday I got a wonderful complement from an older lady regarding my metalflake Emerald Green Raptor-lined '02 Vitara Cabriolet. She said that she really loved the color and texture. I finished the job two and a half years ago, and it looks as good as the day it was done. A year ago I covered the Raptor liner with Cerakote ceramic finish, and the water still beads up. Highly recommended!

I'm thinking it might actually be better... That's why golf balls have little dimples all over them to instigate turbulent flow over the ball, maybe the same thing happens with this coat of paint

@NK-dl2nc 2 жыл бұрын

@@adamshayes on that subject, I remember reading about how shark skin and it's texture helps them move more efficiently through the water. I think it was because of the micro turbulence on the surface acting like a lubricant? They apparently replicated it on an aircraft and it improves efficiency by a marked amount. It was wasn't practical to do on a commercial level though. May be they should try raptor on passenger jet🤣
