I had my Toyota Tundra raptor lined black. I use Lucas slick mist tire shine non oil based spray. It keeps the bed liner from having streaks or keeps it from looking dull. It also helps from water sitting on the paint it beads up and comes off really easy. Prep is def the key slick mist will eliminate water spots and over all it will help protect the liner and it rich look.
Thankyou for the video.... I just came accross it recently. Orange is one of my favorite colors. I have done lots of painting over the years with lots of different coatings and seen how they perform in harsh environments. Incase you didn't put any primer under your bedliner coating, I want to say it's best to put a Good Quality primer under any bedliner coating that's being applied to any type of corrosive metals. Bedliner coatings are very porous compared to paints and they are more likely to leave tiny pinholes where moisture can get through to the metal below and cause corrosion from beneath causing the bedliner to lift from underneath, etc. Its safer to seal the metal 1st before applying a bedliner for a extra step of security because corrosion doesn't pull any punches and neither should we when it come to defeating it,etc. The best primer I ever experienced is a silver coating that's made any one of the 4 names below. It has to be the silver out of these 4 and don't get fooled by accepting a black version. The silver is the only one that has the aluminum particles in it to block oxygen from the metal preventing corrosion. Corrosion needs oxygen to do its damage. No oxygen means no corrosion!! 4 versions of the special silver formula Mastercoat silver primer. Por-15 silver rust paint. Chassis saver silver. Eastwood company rust Encapsulator Platinum Silver. When you get a can make sure to put it in a refrigerator immediately to preserve its shelf life. Especially when opened the 1st time as then it gets activated and wants to start getting hard in the can no matter how sealed the lid is. Keep the lid seal perfectly shiny clean every time and gently tap the lid shut after each use just to prevent can distortion to aid in preserving and unused amount then put in a fridge where it can last for months. Just make sure the fridge is above freezing inside. Also after you are done coating its best to protect any corrosive areas you can reach with paint, with a gel like oil to prevent corrosion.. Like inner wheel wells and inside door doors, inside rocker panels etc. One of the best I discovered is wd40 GEL lubricant.. ( Not the old thin penetrating fluid ) It has to say GEL on the can and it sprays out as a foam and turns into a protective oily surface later that hinders corrosion a lot. Its help preserve my pickup that has almost a million miles on it,etc. On a side note if you have a garage, keep your nice vehicle inside as much as possible when not in use because the sun is a destroyer... Hope this advice helps you or anyone out a lot... Peace and Grace to you all and be Safe out there 🙂🙏
I think it looks great, but prep is key. I have used Raptor on a few things and love how durable it is. My last project was a junkyard find camper shell for my truck. It was beat to hell and the paint was trashed. No biggie, I only paid $80 for it. I sprayed it with Raptor a year ago and it still looks new. I am getting ready to do my old paint worn Harley. It’s just a matter of what color I am going with right now
To minimize the risk of the paint collecting water, i would bring it down to bare metal, use a good primer, then the bed liner. Prep is probably the most important thing.
5 years on my 05 dodge. Red/black. I'm absolutely satisfied with mine. After 5 years parked in the sun it has faded some. Getting ready to put another coat on it. I'm sure if I maintained it with something it would have helped with the fading and give it a nice fresh look. But can't complain 5 years of no washing or products applied to it. No chipping or peeling on mine except for my plastic door handles. I didn't prep them very well. The grill has held up and it was plastic chrome. I recommend proper sanding and adhesion promoter.
@@Bearbait01 got it back 5 months ago now. I watched your vids and others before I decided. You have the vid showing how to put decals on Raptor right? I haven't put mine on yet but am soon.
@Duck420Ag only certain decals will stick. Hopefully yours are that kind. We'll see what you think of it a few years from now, see if you made a good choice. I really hate this paint job now lol.
You'd be surprised it actually can chip and kinda smudge if something actually hits it hard. It's not as rugged as an actual liner it's more rubbery. At least this product is.
I’m think 🤔 to do black in my Tacoma .. I have the money 💴 but I’m still haven’t decide if regular paint 🎨 or raptor liner ., it probably raptor will see
Correction: I had my pressures all off. We sprayed the liner at around 30psi, the compressor goes to 120. We didn't spray at 120. I don't know a damn thing about compressors. Like I said in the video, just test it out for yourself. Find the settings and the texture you like best. 👍
Raptor Liner is an Epoxy based bedliner paint. It WILL flake and chip off with vibrations. Use Durabak 18 Smooth or Textured (has crumb rubber) and a mohair roller brush to get a more durable flexible paint that will not flake off or chip with vibrations.
I’m doing my 2011 base model reg cab 4x4 Toyota Tacoma in raptor liner soon. My reasoning: I’m poor (lol) It’s durable for off road use I deliver auto parts and my truck has been beating mercilessly by ratchet straps and heavy parts. It looks good, especially for the price point I’m doing my truck in OD/Army green. I’m never selling my truck so I really don’t give a shit about resale value. To me, this is all about practicality and saving money.
Seems to me all of your complaints are do to the lack of preparation. Especially on the rust spots. And yes there is a product that helps it adhear. Raptor liner sells it.
I was thinking of doing my 92 chevy k2500, just a work truck but I want to keep the 2 tone but do orange and silver. But on a lot of videos I have seen the bed liners that use a primer before u bed line it helps the bed liner stick
I would pull the inner finder wells prep /epoxy primer, and touch up it should blend in pretty good... Very nice truck I liked your plan , Great total package.. thumbs up, thanks for sharing ...
I just Raptor lined my CRV in a "Mesa Gray" color. Prep is definitely key, I used U Pol acid etch primer in areas where I sanded to metal and or repaired surface rust, I used 120 grit on an orbital on the whole car, and then before spraying the Raptor, I used U pol's adhesion promoter on all the edges of panels, seams, around where mounting holes for door handles/antenna etc. are, and adhesion promoter all over 100% coverage of all plastic trim and bumpers. It hasn't been 3 years yet but it seems incredibly rugged so far and I for sure have the hardest looking mom car in car line.
Good, detailed update. Here in AZ I get a lot of “pin stripping” when driving dirt roads on hunting trips. I’m looking to bed liner paint my truck ($400) vs. the time & money each year to buff my truck out ($100 + all day). Q: do you think the paint could stand up to moderate brush scrapes? Thanx.
I just found out about the Xylene additive and am applying it today to my Herculiner Kit....i am rolling a new chicken shed coop floor. Also another good tip was to scrap the roller pad in the kit and buy a Dupli-Color TRC104 roller...i bought at O'Reilly Auto Parts Store.
Seriously great video! I’d say it’s worth it because it still looks fantastic! I know there are areas that bother you but to me it seems like if I do mine like this I should spend some extra time on the under edges. Question: did you do the door jams? Any tips for that to prevent the doors sticking shut?
yeah you said it in your video yourself. better prep work will prevent it. imo, you should have hit it with something finer then 180. but no need to cry over spilt milk. still looks amazing
Do you have any experience with Monstaliner? Or know anyone who has used it? Curious how it compares to the raptor liner. I've been looking to painting my Jeep Comanche in a similar color
I only do this for trail rigs if I want something to look nice going down the road, we'll paint is what you want. This is best used for why people first started using it for ( trail rigs ).
Thanks for the review! What do you wash it with? Ceramic coating? I’m thinking of doing my sidecar to protect from doggy claws but I want a bright color too!
I used to wash it with simple green but I've found that simple green takes the ceramic coating off. If you're not ceramic coating yours then use simple green. If you're coating yours, maybe use regular car soap.
Have you had to touch it up at all? Does it look bad if/when you touch it up? Considering a flat gray (like Dodge's "Destroyer Gray") when I do my Model Y Overlander, curious what touch-ups look like.
Nah. I was going to but these new wheels and tires ride so good that not I dont even have to lol. I ended up getting my front end all rebuilt last month so its good for another 25 years lol.
Looks great. I saw in the comments you also spray it with ceramic spray. Does that help with anti fading? Thinking of spraying the front part of a e450 box van overlander conversion. In a bright orange to go with our Screaming Tangerine theme. Lower paramount the box will be black. Do you think with the prep will stand up against constant salt mist and sand from going near the beaches of Florida?
The spray is supposed to help with fading. From my experience it appears to do almost nothing. You'll see in my update video that I am posting next month. My hood is starting to get sun damages the same way the roof is in this video, so take that for what you will. Spider cracks. 🕷 As for salt, I probably wouldn't take my truck to the beach because my prep work kinda sucked but you could have better results if you took your time and also maybe used a different product than me.
@@Bearbait01 awesome thanks so much for the information. Since the front of the box van conversion is an e450 we are thinking of doing the whole thing orange like her logo as a Screaming Tangerine . So good to know about 3-4 years of use as long as we prep it very well. (Thinking the sand and salt will really beat it up anything over the 4 year mark.) Should help it stand out. Again thanks
I'm doing the Raptor bedliner 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee and I'm going to shoot clear on it... And your truck still looks good after 3 years.. and I'm going black the same color my Jeep is now
I actually painted my ‘08 F-150 in white Raptor liner. I used adhesion promoter on all the plastic parts,edges and hard to reach places. I think it looks awesome but yeah I definitely have to clean it at least once a week.
Bedliner don't crack unless you've put it all on at once with out waiting for the rt time for it to adhere, it's like paint, waiting 5 minutes after 1st coat, 2nd 15 minute's and 3rd, just hammer the f out of it.. p.s. by the way, if u've prep it properly and waited ✋ 😀 it would of been perfect 🥰 💞 👌 😍 ❤
My gas guage doesn't work so I have no clue lol. Tell you what though it probably gets 175 miles per tank. That's the rear tank so 19 gallons? I guess 9.2 mpg combined. It's a 96 but basically a 95. Same thing.
I just realized you're probably talking about wind drag, because of the bed liner not being smooth. Nope absolutely not. That doesn't make any noticeable difference.
@@Bearbait01 Thanks for the Reply , I got a 95 f150 more of a work truck ; Wish it was a 96 . I hear the 96 got a better engine Diagnosis reader , the 95s don't tell you much. Im not sure but I think the 96 may be the last year of 4.9 straight 6 .
A rougher surface reduces drag, it doesnt increase it, as it traps air in pockets. Air flows faster over air than anything else and therefor drag is reduced. Ask anyone that ports heads professionally, you do not want polished inlets as a rougher surface flows air better. Anyone suggesting that bedliner increases drag is talking shite! Its also why a golf ball is dimpled the way that it is. Lastly, its a truck with the aerodynamics of a brick, don't worry about the paint lol. ua-cam.com/video/FRI-XPHPHxQ/v-deo.html
Hello friends. I have no clue where the Ford emblems came from. They were on the truck when I bought it. They look home made. I have never seen any others like it.
I had my Toyota Tundra raptor lined black. I use Lucas slick mist tire shine non oil based spray. It keeps the bed liner from having streaks or keeps it from looking dull. It also helps from water sitting on the paint it beads up and comes off really easy. Prep is def the key slick mist will eliminate water spots and over all it will help protect the liner and it rich look.
Id love to see a pic of yours I wanna do my tundra
Alright. After watching several videos, I’m sold. Doing this to my Miata this summer. Same color
Thankyou for the video....
I just came accross it recently.
Orange is one of my favorite colors.
I have done lots of painting over the years with lots of different coatings and seen how they perform in harsh environments.
Incase you didn't put any primer under your bedliner coating, I want to say it's best to put a Good Quality primer under any bedliner coating that's being applied to any type of corrosive metals.
Bedliner coatings are very porous compared to paints and they are more likely to leave tiny pinholes where moisture can get through to the metal below and cause corrosion from beneath causing the bedliner to lift from underneath, etc.
Its safer to seal the metal 1st before applying a bedliner for a extra step of security because corrosion doesn't pull any punches and neither should we when it come to defeating it,etc.
The best primer I ever experienced is a silver coating that's made any one of the 4 names below.
It has to be the silver out of these 4 and don't get fooled by accepting a black version.
The silver is the only one that has the aluminum particles in it to block oxygen from the metal preventing corrosion.
Corrosion needs oxygen to do its damage.
No oxygen means no corrosion!!
4 versions of the special silver formula
Mastercoat silver primer.
Por-15 silver rust paint.
Chassis saver silver.
Eastwood company rust Encapsulator Platinum Silver.
When you get a can make sure to put it in a refrigerator immediately to preserve its shelf life.
Especially when opened the 1st time as then it gets activated and wants to start getting hard in the can no matter how sealed the lid is.
Keep the lid seal perfectly shiny clean every time and gently tap the lid shut after each use just to prevent can distortion to aid in preserving and unused amount then put in a fridge where it can last for months.
Just make sure the fridge is above freezing inside.
Also after you are done coating its best to protect any corrosive areas you can reach with paint, with a gel like oil to prevent corrosion..
Like inner wheel wells and inside door doors, inside rocker panels etc.
One of the best I discovered is wd40 GEL lubricant..
( Not the old thin penetrating fluid )
It has to say GEL on the can and it sprays out as a foam and turns into a protective oily surface later that hinders corrosion a lot.
Its help preserve my pickup that has almost a million miles on it,etc.
On a side note if you have a garage, keep your nice vehicle inside as much as possible when not in use because the sun is a destroyer...
Hope this advice helps you or anyone out a lot...

Oops. One of the clips are sideways... oh well.
my reason to do one is really to never need to worry about parking lot and off-roading damage. primer grey or tan is the color i want.
You'd be surprised it actually can chip and kinda smudge if something actually hits it hard. It's not as rugged as an actual liner it's more rubbery. At least this product is.
I was considering doing it in Black just because it'd be easy to touch up any spots that started to crack after years.
I’m think 🤔 to do black in my Tacoma .. I have the money 💴 but I’m still haven’t decide if regular paint 🎨 or raptor liner ., it probably raptor will see

So...the higher the pressure, the smoother (finer) texture you get. Is this correct?
@@sharkparty1027 That's how it worked for us. You'll have to play around with it for yourself and find a texture you like
Raptor Liner is an Epoxy based bedliner paint. It WILL flake and chip off with vibrations.

Or check out ProjectFarms comparison video on all common bedliners
I see you took "Orange peel" to next level xD

Raptor liner does sell an adhesion promotor for their bed liner.

Glad my video could help!
I’m doing my 2011 base model reg cab 4x4 Toyota Tacoma in raptor liner soon. My reasoning:

Did you end up painting your Tacoma? If so, how did it turn out?
Putting fender flares on should protect the wheel wells
Thank you for the 3 year update and still looks decent keeping it for another 10 years is ex no payments :-) :-) :-)
I think the cracking comes from poor prep and a lack of adherence to the steel.
just bad prep that shit really sticks hard i sand 80 to 120.. i like the color he used
Yea its bad prep it happened to mine aswell I got lazy sanding some areas.
Seems to me all of your complaints are do to the lack of preparation. Especially on the rust spots. And yes there is a product that helps it adhear. Raptor liner sells it.

Its also why a golf ball is dimpled the way that it is. Lastly, its a truck with the aerodynamics of a brick, don't worry about the paint lol.

Where did you get your Ford emblem???!!!
What I was wondering too.....💯
@@salty95 of course he’s never going to respond lol I really want to find one tho
Hello friends. I have no clue where the Ford emblems came from. They were on the truck when I bought it. They look home made. I have never seen any others like it.
@@lucasdenney705 Hehehehe so giggling 😋
@@Bearbait01 Thank you for telling us💯
Where did you get the bed liner
Local auto parts store, not autozone or anything, there's certain stores that have paint departments.
Would you bedliner the Bronco? I'm thinking abt doing my 94'...
I would. But only black. I will never do another bright color bed liner. Too much hassle.
I am about to do my 94 Bronco XLT with black raptor. I love the way it looks
😎
It’s Is it worth it for painting like that ?
Nah probably not but also yes.
I think it looks great!
Yea the paint chipping off has nothing to do with the bed liner.
Awesome video! Thanks!
Paint job like that makes me think you’re from Tennessee....
Stop stalling and tell us what we want to hear. Like the other guy said "doesn't start review until 5 mins in" is true not false. Ford guys!
If you have a short attention span you shouldn't click on a 20min video. Go back to youtube shorts.
I appreciate your video and info man but Holy Babbling Babbler.
Shoulda ended your comment before the "but" because the only ass here is you.
i feel like all of your complaints are prep related..
Not all but some yeah. The fading isn't prep related.
Orange and chrome wheels yuck id leave the black wheels
You stated, "Normal people are not going to notice that." That means abnormal people will notice that, riiight.
Probably. Sure..

I'm not your slave.
