So You Want a White Bronco Top...PlastiDip vs. Raptor Liner
Вставка

- There are a lot of ways to make the top of your 6G Bronco white, in this video we do one with PlastiDip and one with Raptor liner to compare the process and results.
Cool video! Glad to see someone finally uploaded a video of these processes on a diy level! Both trucks look great! Thank you for sharing!
@@Weasel.King.Official I have been living with the PlastiDip for a few months now and it is holding up pretty well. That said, if I were certain about the color I wanted I would do the raptor liner out the gate. Thanks for watching.
Why not take top off to paint?
@@JohnKos-b7b if I were going to apply any type of permanent coating I would take the top off, but since I can peel the PlastiDip off and go back to original I didn't bother. I'll probably be peeling it off in the next few weeks to check the top for cracks since that is a common problem on these apparently.
I forgot to ask..is there a "heat resistance" difference between plasti-dip vs. Raptor-liner
The dip isn't going to do anything other than the color being a bit more reflective, since it is the thickness of a balloon there is really no thermal barrier there. The raptor liner may give a bit because it is considerably thicker, but if you are specifically looking for a thermal barrier I would shoot lizard skin as a base coat or on the inside of the panels.
I'm the owner of the Green Bronco that he sprayed the Raptor liner on. I've been offroading a few times since he sprayed the top. I've had sticks run all across the top and none of the Raptor liner has come off, scratched, peeled, etc. It still looks exactly like it did when he sprayed it! Also, if mud or bird poop gets on it, just use your favorite cleaner and a little elbow grease and it'll come off rather easy/quickly! I'm happy with my decision of using the Raptor liner :)
When you're describing a dusting coat vs. a later thicker coat, is that determined by the length of time spraying the area or is it coat after coat of light dusting to build a thicker coat?
So, a dust coat on the raptor liner is a final coat shot from higher up to try to get a smoother effect. You waste a ton of product but it can help smooth, or you can shoot the whole thing at a lower pressure.
The dust coat on the PlastDip is the initial coat that is sprayed light and fast to get a light base before going on the heavier coats.
I'm curious why you shot on the vehicle?
@@leonardzeiler7417 for the PlastiDip I decided to leave it on because I know how easy it is to remove the over spray when you are done. If I was shooting Raptor liner or paint I would absolutely take the top off to avoid over spray.
White accents arent making your new broncos look vintage, guys.. sorry, looks worse
eruption green with white top is a banger. looks great
