Will DIY Raptor armoured Paint Make Your Van Look NEW I Sprayed My Van With Raptor Paint | Paint Your Van With Truck Bead Liner
Van or car spray paint job with raptor because it's easy, the tough and tintable protective coating is a durable urethane coating that provides surfaces with a protective barrier that can withstand the toughest situations.
Raptor paint is developed to tolerate most climatic conditions, RAPTOR is U.V. resistant and won’t fade or “chalk” even after years in the sun. RAPTOR paint is also water-resistant and helps to protect surfaces from rust, making it perfect for surfaces that are frequently exposed to water, including saltwater.
RAPTOR paint's versatility makes it perfect for almost any application. Spray or roll RAPTOR on high traffic areas; it’s scratch and stain-resistant and easy to clean, simply hose it off. Its flexible formulation can handle impacts without cracking, making it perfect for its most popular application as a truck bed liner.
RAPTOR paint is unlike other bed liners or protective coatings. It’s less expensive and faster than powder coating. And in case it does scratch (which is tough to do!), RAPTOR can easily be repaired. You can’t do that with most of the other bed liners and protective coatings!
RAPTOR protects the roughest industrial surfaces as well as the smaller surfaces we rely on every day. It’s durable, looks great and it lasts a long time.

Ya have me convinced! First job once she’s through the test is to strip, prep and RAPTOR spray!
That’s amazing Neil!!!🔥 Great video my friend!👏🏻😎
thank you, my friend, i hope my fat little face didnt offend you to much, i wonder if you could put this on a surf board to help with foot grip
Great job and good info. I’ve wrapped my van twice. Think it’s going raptor after Christmas 👍🏻
Adam Pugh the is for the comment mate . If you are going to do it after christamas I have a review of a competitor to raptor and there a UK company as well . So if you can hang of for that then you might save a bit of money . Also I’ll be respirating a part of the lower van so ppl can see just how it’s done . Thanks again for watching
I like the rough look with the raptor paint. Very informative and it looks great!
Thanks buddy . It’s brought an old girl back to life and at a cheep cost as well
The urban explorer absolutely!
I really dig the rough texture look. I'd apply that to any car for the unique look. I'm kinda wondering what it would be like to remove if you ever wanted to do a different paint job one day. Great video mate.
thanks mate , and i dont even think you could get it off it would take months the stuff is as hard as steel
Really good video and good sound honest advice. Hope you’re really enjoying it pal. I’m planning to do the same with a 2014 sprinter
It’s such a great thing mate abs saves a fortune on a paint job as well . You’ll also save lots on polish lol
@@UrbanVanlife great man, I’m wrapping the top half, it’s only the plastic panels and below that I’ll be doing the raptorizing.. look forward to it.
I find this more than interesting ...This Rapter paint idea is something I am serious thinking about for the summer! great look!
IRONJOHN cheers mate . Iv had another company approach me . And there sending me there product so I’ll be re doing part of the van . When the weather gets a bit better showing the whole spray process from can to van . And it’s better than raptor as well
@@UrbanVanlife Hay sounds good ! looking forward to it mate! ; )!
Great video well done. Love the PPE advice too
thanks mate and the ppe is very important this stuff isnt nice to spray and you dont want it inside you , i just hope people listen . thanks for the comment
may have to keep this in mind for my trailer build next year.
It’s great man . I’m going to spraying my trailer in it soon . It just lasts forever
Looks really cool, mate!
thank you sir , much appreciated
Awesome job, it looks great.
Thanks I've learnt alot about raptor paint from you now, I'm about to roller my Van NATO green.
Oh nice . Least doing it with a roller you’ll get less mess and less air born partials and will be a lot safer . Plus looks as good
Great vid thank you, informative and polite 👍
Thanks mate . Thanks for watching and leaving a comment as well it’s appreciated
Great video Neil.
I’m converting a 16 seater coach built bus. It’s fi
Thats great. You have made me feel that its possible to paint it.
That’s what it is all about buddy!
Nice! I just want to go out and paint something now!!! Still raining over there I see.
no man its been good for a few day now mate but we have it off and on . long hot summers are a thing of the past
This was quite interesting. Never heard of this paint before but I gonna look for some for arty projects
Yer man it’s mega stuff and you can put it on all sorts
Hi m8 what size compressor do you need for raptoring a connect mk1 van?
Hey! Thank you for this video! What kind of air compressor do you have please? I have a sprinter and really am hoping this could be the solution for me!!
We have a 100 ltr one from Aldi it’s nothing special but worked perfect
Originally I saw this stuff used just to cover the bed of a pick up truck but recently I’ve seen it used on an entire vehicle. It makes the vehicle look like it’s covered in Teflon. You say it retains heat. What is a person lives in a warm to hot region such as California, Arizona or Texas? Do you think it will make the vehicle too hot?
To be honest mate I’m not TOTALY sure . That would be worth looking in to . Also it retains heat but here in the UK lol we need more than a bit of paint . And I sprayed my entire van in it bar the roof . It’s really good stuff to be honest and great for harsh weather cos it alleAys looks new . And man you save on polish so more money for whiskey
Love the t4 👌👍
Cheers dude . Me to there a great van
Im so going to paint my offroader Landi in this!!!
Good guy 👍 respect 👊
Looks smart mate 👍🏻
Thank you . And yer raptor is really cool stuff
LOVE Raptor!!!
Patti Crane yes yes yes it’s just sooooo good
@@UrbanVanlife Indeed my friend! Merry Christmas!!
@@PattisArtInnaVan all the best to you and the family hope you have a lovely day
With that mask, you're ready for the apocalypse! Great job with the painting man it looks great
cheers buddy , yer man brink on them zombies lol
Ready for coronavirus ironically haha
Do you still have to take the van down to metal or can you paint on top of an existing paint job ?
As long as you take the shine off the existing paint then you can apply raptor strait to it mate . That’s one of the best things about it
Evening where did you get your k2 acrylic paint colour to mix into the tiltable
we got it off ebay mate , found the colour we wanted and it was left over from a guy who sprayed guitars, and was only £10 as well
Great video Neil.
I’m converting an old 16 seater bus. The cab is in mint condition. The body is fibreglass and very dull. I’ve done away with a lot of the windows. I was going to get it wrapped in vinyl. Do you think raptor paint would adhere to the fibreglass and the glass windows that are not required? Thanks.
Oh mate that stuff willl stick to any thing buddy . It’s amazing stuff . You might have to skuff up the glass but it will stick
Sorry if I missed it but which sort of filter do you need with the mask?
Thanks.
we have just done an updated video , and talk about the mask and filter here mate ua-cam.com/video/6OPO2w9d-DE/v-deo.html
Bro you deserve to have your own TV channel. Great channel and awesome videos.
This has to go down as the best comment Iv ever has thank you sir
Hi mate, could you spray my sprinter for me and if so how much would it be?
Doing this tomorrow on my van bare plastic bumpers, will it stick ok or did you use the upol spray on yours?
We used the upol spray on ours
How long did the van take to dry.
Starting my van next week.
I was wondering about rain but I do have tarps.
It’s tough dry within 30 min mate . Then takes a few days to harden fully
hi mate.am thinking of taking the plunge and doing the full van in raptor as i want to go down the swamper route. ive seen you can put something to dilute the paint slighty so you get a less rough finish but also gives a good mate finish. would you have any pointers before i get it done? (gonna get a spray shop to do it but thye say the have never heard of the stuff so any pointers to pass on would be great haha)
thanks dude
to be honest mate i had never sprayed any thing , one tip would be get the masking of within 15 min after spray , once its hard , man its hard , and you want nice clean lines as well , if you leave it longer it will be getting hard , put it this way you can drive it home an hr after spraying , but it wont be rock hard for about 72 hrs ,
@@UrbanVanlife thanks mate tbh i think ill just get the spry shop to do it for as am bound to mess it up lol. thanks again
That is some mask! You're ready for disaster with that thing! lol Your van turned out pretty darn awesome! I'm still itching for a van but life says NOPE. lol
lol ready for the zombie invasion patti , and i think you should go build one , #randomhappy
He's definitely got shares in Raptor
or do i own it ???
@@UrbanVanlife it's good stuff. I've been watching a load of vids on it. I've got a vivaro but pretty scared of started it
Nice one mate cheers
For that bad finish you can use diy roller paint and half the value paint you sprayed .
But you don’t get any where near the protection from normal paint
Hi bud looks great !!!
I have t4 exacly same blue as yours ! Im looking too do something similar too this i was thinking tintable with added military green 🤩🤩
Sounds good buddy, it will look awesome! We do love a bit of green!!
Nice vid👌I'm going to do my kangoo conversion in black soon and after watching this I'm going to wear a proper mask rather than the decorators mask I would have used, 😍
Yer the amount of harmful things That are in this kind of paint you just don’t want in your body . And right now a good mask will come in handy as well for all kinds
Did you give it 1 coat or 2 coats of raptor ? .. was there any strip marks when you were finished ..... looks cracking you done a great job 👍
We only gave it one cost mate cos it covered so welll . I think a second would be overkill . And no it really when on so good I was shocked we didn’t have any kind off marks of flaws
@@UrbanVanlife excellent ... thanks for reply and keep up the great and funny (humorous) video's i love watching them 😎
Great video Neil I've watched loads of your videos you inspired me to paint my van so i did, completely covered my lwb mercedes sprinter in black raptor im currently in the process of converting it.
Nice one👍🏻
on nice mate , how did it come out , and hows the conversion coming along , i love it when people do there own thing mate its really uplifting , thanks for the kind words bud
Its came out mint mate very happy with the results, I used 20 bottles in all. it was white originally with a few age related blemishes here n there and we all know what sprinter bodies can preform like lol. But thanks to you mate raptor transformed it 👍🏻
Basically stone chip with a fancy name
Well it is called truck bed liner . But also sets twice as hard as stone chip .
Nice!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
How long did it take
Hi mate really love paint job I have a t4 in need of a paint job can remember how many lters of paint you used
I’m pretty sure in total we used 1 black and 8 tintable . But it could have been 2 black . But the grey was no more than 8 bottles
@@UrbanVanlife is that double coating it as well?
How long did it take you to do.
Have you had to touch it up yet? And if so does it blend in OK?
That vans gone now mate but it was fine when we sold it . And that was a few years after spraying it
@Urban Vanlife many thanks, much appreciated
Just to clearifly which exact kit is this? I have a 1978 VW Bus I want to do.
That’s the raptor kit mate . But links should be in the description
@@UrbanVanlife no lol, which one of the raptor kits. Ive seen different size kits. Im just making sure I get enough to do the whole van.
Well for the t4 we used 9 bottles and didn’t do the roof . So you have to work out the cover footage of your van compaired to how much you’ll get off a bottle . Then you’ll know exactly how many Ltrs you’ll need
How much paint did you use on the van and what compressor did you use? 😊
I used in total 8 full bottles of raptor and I have a 120ltr compressor . But it dose not require a huge compressor . Hope that helps
I was going to use one of these what do you think? rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F113763787459
Urban Explorer Hi mate - would a 50ltr compressor be sufficient? And did you use the Schutz gun?
Hello bud, im lookin to paint my 4x4 transit county in raptor paint but in a light desert sand colour, where would be the best place to buy a kit of tintable raptor paint?
Pete Burns if you’re in the UK mate then eBay seems to be the cheapest place to be honest
@@UrbanVanlife yeh im in liverpool, it just seems like a better alternative to 3k on a paint job which i find excessive for an old van, have you ever used the tintable raptor paint?
Pete Burns ok there is a paint place on the ind est at the bottom of millers bridge in Bootle as you come over millers towards the dock road you go over derby road turn right and it’s on that estate on the right they sell the kits there mate but I can’t remember the name . Infact let me google it . Parry’s motor parts
@@UrbanVanlife thanks very much👍
Pete Burns my pleasure mate . And raptor is so good just get a propper mask but it’s crazy nasty for the lungs . Like real bad news
Does it stick to fiberglass ?
Yes it sure dose . A lot of people use it on boats .
Can you roll on the raptor paint with a roller???
Yes you sure can lots of people do it that way
Retains heat? that might be good in England...not so much in tropical Queensland.
Also keeps heat out as well . Works both ways
I rolled liner on my old RAV4 on driveway. 6L + 4 days of work.
Rolling will save lots raptor.
Daniel the raptor covers really well sprayed I was shocked how much coverage you got off it
@@UrbanVanlife Rolling really saves paint more than spraying. First I bought 1L to test and with it I covered, bonnet, part of roof and hood with 1 layer. I was surprised. 6L gave me 2 layers over whole car. Many rollers wasted as raptor hardens in an hour or so. How is yours raptor keeping on? Mine is nice after few months, no probs.
Daniel to be honest 2 years after spraying it still looks as good as the day we did it . Appart from a couple of self inflicted travel wounds it’s really good stuff and we have been all over the place in some crappy conditions as well
@@UrbanVanlife Glad to hear.
That's funny my truck is painted in raptor paint lol
hahah how mads that . i wasnt sure you guys had it in the usa i thought it was line x . its good tuff stuff man i love it
How many psi u sprayed on
I had it on 60 mate
Hi, can you add colour to any raptor paint? Cheers
Yes mate that’s what this videos all about . How to use it abs you can add any colour to the tint able one they mate . You can go as mad as you like but not camo
@@UrbanVanlife Cheers mate much appreciated thinking of doing my caddy van and making it into a campervan 🤙🏼
SNACKS SNACKS SNACKS did somebody say SNACKS, l put on 3 pounds while working on my van , its alot of work for one guy like me almost overwhelming thoughts can be draining so l see were your advice about keeping your body fueled with SNACKS & putting your skills to everything on the van build , l have learnt alot from your DIY videos Thanks from Melbourne Australia
Anthony
Oh mate van building and snax lol I feel you there but yer it’s draining work isn’t it
Combinaison de bombe de raptor a tu utiliser au total car je veux refaire mon t4
Salut, s'il vous plaît, soyez indulgent avec moi car mon français n'est que minime. Nous avons utilisé 7 bouteilles au total de la peinture teintable Raptor plus une petite quantité de peinture métallisée pour obtenir la couleur que nous voulions, puis 2 rapaces noirs pour les rayures et les lignes, mais ils étaient plus pour le look global que nous allions pour. J'espère que cela a du sens, Emma
@@UrbanVanlife merci de votre réponse tout est clair plus qu'à me lancer 😉
How's the paint still going?
No change to when it was added when we sold it . She’s been gone a few months now but still looked as good as when we did it
It keeps heat in? I’m not sure that’s right
Well it has high thermal property’s . Just like adding insulation to a van . That keeps heat in the van .
@@UrbanVanlife Unless it has air bubbles in the paint (in which case it wouldnt be a strong paint) I suspect the laws of thermal dynamics would disagree. Because its a think paint doesnt mean it has thermal properties
Where did you paint your van please?
We painted the van in the drive way
Would you use this stuff now?
Yes it’s great stuff
Thanks for the response Neil - love the channel
SILLY QUI DO U JUST USE ANY PAINT TO GET THE COLOUR U WANT
Yer i used 2pk and you just mix it in . But only a small amount . But I spoke to raptor and the said any car paint will mix with it
What's it called again?
Could be raptor
do you still own this van?
i have someone offering this exact van to me for sale.
be great if you could get in contact.
I mate we sold it a few months back bud .
@@UrbanVanlife ok cheers
Can u do glass with it fella
Ohhhh now that’s a question . I personally would say yes cos it sticks to plastic so is say no problems with glass but there is a bonding spray you apply on some surfaces to help bond so I’d use that . It’s a question id ask upol there alleAys happy to help . But I’d say yes
@@UrbanVanlife thanks for reply fella .I was just thinking it would be better to do my windows on a mini bus conversion then I would be able to do half the window
Will let u know how it turns out
Thanks again fella steve
Yer man that would look sick . I’d defo give upol a ring there really helpfull and they might even have a spray for glass like the one for stubborn plastic . But this stuff dose seem to stick to all things . Good luck man

You're stuck with me now Neil!!! Love your videos!
Paul Peck DrywallTube arrrr thanks mate hopefully I can make better and better ones . Still learning all this
Appreciate your work and your videos, but I remember this being similar to in the 1980s how we painted our lambrettas with hamerite and bitcho on the inside we thought they looked great and convinced ourselves ,, but the reality now looking back is it was shit,,,, and that is basically the raptor look,, what mug would buy a van that for all they know is hiding all the rot and rust,, better to just restore the paint
Better of course. But 10x the price 👍
🤔
How long will it last tho
CM 17 it’s been on 2 years now and still looks as good as the day I sprayed it
@@UrbanVanlife I bought a t5 nearly 2 years go been resprayed just before I bought in the Audi/VW grey , I knew it wasn't perfect when I bought it , but now rust is coming up in all the usual places sills , door edges , door handles etc . Plus there's loads of imperfections in where they put filler on basically it's a pig of a job. Does it look like Schultz in person? Is yours a lwb ?
@@CM-1723 with the raptor it covers all things like you metion . if you go on my website in the photo section ther is some upclose photos youcan see its like schultz id say mate yes , and no mines the swb , id love a lwb

£6k for a spray job. Is that real gold?
6k is not w bad price when you think they have to prep the body work fix any imperfections mask the whole van up spay inver coat then do multiple coats of gloss then a finishing coat and all the man power that goes in to it . And if you think that’s bad pop in to bmw they wanted 2500 to spray a bonnet . It’s not cheap getting a spray Job
Great advert...🤣
You get paid for adverts
@@UrbanVanlife and so u should..
Been thinking of doing this myself with my motorhome conversion on a Mercedes 814d but £6000 is a ridiculous amount of money. I’ve been quoted £1000 by a local company that sprays coaches. That’s 3 coats of paint and then the lacquer. I’ve seen the end results of their spray jobs and they are really good.
for that price mate id snap there hands off, its going to cost you a £500 for the products then days of getting things ready and masking ect ect ect , for £1000 id have put it in yeaterday without thinking ,
Urban Explorer Yeah. The raptor does look good. I may even see if they will use that. Am I right I’m thinking that you don’t put lacquer over it after and it is a dull finish?
the finish on raptor is a weird one its kind of matt but not just depends on the light .
Urban Explorer ah right. This might sound silly but can you wash it as normal? Can you wax it after or isn’t that needed?
wash as normal but no mate you dont need wax
£400 has it got gold in ? lol
Try getting a full respray for under £2000 to £4000 so I don’t think £400 is a bad price . It dose have the golden touch
@@UrbanVanlife lol expensive though for a tin of paint
400 was for 10 ltrs
How much ? Line X Quoted me $10,000 dollars for entire Van
Wow 10k omg like wow . I think you can do that your self and save 9,2k
400 quid? I built my own garage and after doing the grp roof I had left over fiber glass paint and painted my off roader with a roller. So if you want to save money just use fiberglass roof paint. 50 quid for 20 liters. Even had the same texture.
there is always a cheep way mate but nothing compares to raptor for durability strength and keeping heat in ,
Any pictures of the fibreglass paint.
You look so young in this video, what happened?
Eddie Smallhorn other UA-cam’s madd me old and wore me out with there crazy complaints lol
Do you have a hot shower?
only when i add a kettle of water to the tank , with teh t4 being small we never added a boiler
its cheap its easy and it looks crap
millions of people disagree , but each to there own
