- !!Disclaimer!! I am aware that the bare metal should be covered with etching primer I understand that was my mistake but on your personal vehicles make sure you cover any bare metal surfaces with primer before applying the liner. This truck probably will not be out doors much so I’m not worried about the bonding and metal rusting. Anything that will be outside in the elements I highly suggest to prime any metal surfaces.
How to spray on U-POL Raptor bedliner without a problem, quick how-to. I show you some tips and tricks to get the perfect look.

This is the best pre-paint preparation I have ever seen from your part of the world. Good job.
Thanks for the tips greatly appreciated! If anyone is thinking of using self etch primer for bare metal. Raptor has you covered in their line of products as well. Happy spraying! 😊
Thanks for the tips. No other video mentioned that tilting the run to much would cause it to come out of the top.
Great to know.
Man that looks amazing bro, phenomenal job!
Great work, love the results 🔥
Great video Brother. Outstanding job. Thar texture is the look that I'm looking for.
Looks nice and clean!
Came out super clean dude, good stuff 👍🏼
The best one I have seen on here. Good job bro
Awesome job, came out looking really good. I'm planning on doing a full truck raptor job in OD green, on my '09 Cummins. Gotta get all the dents and dings out 1st though.
Thanks, glad you like it. 👍
Thanks for the video and the courage to give my jeep bumper a try
Looks crisp!
Hey man that looks very nice! Great job on getting this done! I'm about to do the same on my 2016 Silverado, hope it comes out this good!
I appreciate that thank you for the compliment, I really like how it turned out.
Great video and application, one suggestion is lower the music volume. Your voice is quiet in comparison to that terrible music haha
Lol once I uploaded it I noticed that same thing. Sorry 😆
Thanks much for the video.
I want to install a couple of new emblems/badges over the raptor liner. Have you done this in the past? If so, what would be the best adhesive to use?
Good job young man
Thanks
What pressure did you run to get that specific texture? Looks good
looks great bro
Nice Job! What size compressor do I need to apply this product?
Thank you.
How much coverage can you get from one bottle or the four bottles ?
Looks good is it still holding up pretty good wanting to do this to my truck
What kind of primer is recommended?
Looks grate man, good paint job on the toe nails of you camra man to !👍
That looks really good how durable has it been for you so far?
Should I did the bed liner on the truck rails
How does the texture feel? Like is it rubbery or does it feel a little more on the harden rubber feel?
Looks great. How is it holding up?
Love the results 🔥
Do I need to sand if I'm applying this to a new truck?
Looks clean doggy
How is it holding up after all this time?
What size air compressor?
Badass
How long do you have to wait in between coats? Or do you just keep going as you finish each bottle ?
You just keep going after each bottle, but don’t add the hardener to all bottles at once because by the time you get to the third and fourth bottle they might be hard. So do each one at a time.
I have a Honda ridgeline how many bottles of raptor do you think you can take to do the whole vehicle it’s black and I want to do it in red I’ve seen some of your work we do a great job thanks
Thanks, 4 bottles should be plenty for your Honda Ridgeline.
Question . I'm concerned, if i do the work on my entire truck on the driveway , how far the urethane bed liner can blow and stain walls or cars parqued nearby?
You’ll be surprised how far the dust will travel. I highly recommend to cover near by items within 20ft radius at least.
Looks great, what PSI were set at to give you the best look?
Thanks, I sprayed it at 50 PSI +/-
What pressure did you use? Looks really good.
I set it at 50psi but since my air compressor is so old it couldn’t keep up, so it would fluctuate between 40 and 50. I actually like how it turned out. Glad you liked it too.
Chingon!!
Looks Awesome Stay Gold Pony Boy
How’s many coats ???
How many of the jars did you use on your truck bed? Look great!! i hope mine turn out that good when i do my truck bed!!
4 bottles for a 6.5 foot long bed is just enough. Thanks, I’m happy how it turned out.
@@five7garage826 thanks!!
How soon between coats did you apply another? Also how many coats in all? Thanks
I sprayed it right after,as soon as I mix the hardner inside the bottle I sprayed it. After the fourth bottle you’ll notice the gun clogging up, so make sure you clean it with paint thinner.
What psi did you shoot at, cause that’s The exact texture I’m looking for
I sprayed it at around 50psi my compressor is kind of old so the psi was fluctuating plus or minus 2.
What’s the advantage of this over the spray can stuff
Spray cans doesn’t give you the big texture like a normal spray in bed liner would give you. Spray cans are mainly for touch ups in hard to get corners.
How big of a compressor were you using?
It’s a real old 22 gal compressor I have that max out at 100 psi. I need to upgrade lol.
Do you have to use the whole bottle after adding the hardener?
Yes
What compressor is used to apply this?
I have an old 8 gal compressor and it worked ok but I wouldn’t use anything smaller.
You should of used an etching primer after sanding, but it’s a Ford so no big deal, nice job
Dude doesn't know his vehicles, that's a Silverado bro!🤣🤣🤣
How many of those raptor liters did you use ?
Only 4 bottles.
Do you clean the air gun between bottles.
You don’t have to just don’t wait too long between bottles or else you will notice it clogging up the gun. Just do it right after the last bottle.
I would be interested to know how its holding up because you went to bare metal without using an etching primer. Raptor supposedly doesnt like to adhere to bare metal.
I don't know about it not adhering to bare metal but I do know you should use primer for rust prevention.
😎
Looks really good. I just bought everything today. What PSI did you use when spraying?
As a retired shipyard painter, the proper PSI would be between 40- 60 psi depending on the viscosity of the substrate...many high build products use as high as 70 psi , depending on applications.....And wear a respirator...even outdoors, the fumes can be dangerous to your lungs....
if you do this do not leave bare metal unpainted before you use the bed liner. UPOL mentioned any bare metal should be primed.
Fatal mistake , all the bare metal should have been sealed with metal sealer . It will rust under the liner and come off eventually.
I would only use 180 grit and red Scotch-Brite Primer Prep Scuff
Rip
I covered bare metal on mine with etching paint.
Nope, you’re wrong. It’s a solvent based paint so it inhibits rust and acts as it’s own sealer. If it was water based, like other bed liners, it wound need to be sealed. But in this case he did it correctly.
@@jmos96 according to the manufacturer it’s not suitable to paint over bare metal unless it’s etched and primed
How many bottles did u end up using
All 4 I think with a long bed you will definitely need about 5 or 6 bottles.
Great content.
I just received the same U-Pol kit.
Question?? Where did you buy the pressure regulator that mounts on the gun?
I need one before I do mine.
Thanks,
Thanks. I picked one up at Harbor Freight for like 8 bucks.
@@five7garage826 cool there’s I Harbor Freight in This city called Anaheim. A few miles from where I live.
Thanks,
Is the liner as Durable as you Expected??
Very nice Video..well done..👍😎
Liner looks and feels very durable. UPOL makes a very good product, I’m glad you liked it thanks.
@@five7garage826 @ how many bottles for that shortbed? U used?
Four bottles is just enough.
What pressure did you spray at man it looks clean
I have a worn out compressor so it fluctuated from 45 to 55 PSI but as long as you keep the same distance and dust it at the end it should come out good.
@@five7garage826 nice thank you homie for the info.
What is that you spraying it with.
Its called a Schutz gun. It comes with the kit if you order from Amazon.
So how many bottles did you use
I used four bottles, It was just enough.
Chingoon bro. Did you have the truck outside the entire project? i want to do it on my truck but i dont have a garage
Thanks man. Yeah it was outside the whole time Just make sure the truck is covered all the way, because you will have some over spray all over. I had some in the front bumper but no worries acetone will take care of that 🤙
Damn nice job,is that product tintable
yes it is
Did you use all 4 bottles? How has it held up after use?
I used 5 bottles on my bed. And I wish I had a sixth... only so I could get it a bit thicker. Not dissatisfied with the results though
How did it hold up?
It is holding up great still.
Have you tried to spray Raptor on styrofoam? I've heard most liner sprays will dissolve styrofoam, but I've also seen a lot of cheap ice chests sprayed. Just wondering what your experience is before I drop $100 to find out it doesn't work! TIA
You know I’m not sure about that I wouldn’t think it would harm styrofoam but you never know.
If solvent based, it will melt styrofoam, but why would you want to do that to a cheap cooler? They're made to be disposable...seems like a waste of money...by the time you buy the bed liner, you could just get a decent cooler...invest in a good cooler & you won't have to cover it with anything...
Hows it holding up a year out now?
Truck has been garage kept so as you would imagine still looks new. It’s a great product though.
What compressor did you use ? About to do this but have a 6 gallon compressor at 150psi
Seems like the most common mistake made is stripping it to bare metal 🤔
Any tightly adhering paint can be left alone..use a primer designed to "pickle" tight substrate ,so you can spray on the new coating over the tight old paint..
@@haukepowers8491 for reasons, I had to go to bare metal in about 60% of the bed. Should I prime the bare metal first or spray the bed liner on the bare metal?
@@digitalblasphemy1100 The directions said to use Raptor Primer if going to bare metal. I had to as well in spots to grind away rusted areas.
Alapozó?!
You did forget primer, (etch or epoxy) Raptor is NOT protect from rust, as they claim! It is very thick material, that you can't see whats going on in metal surface.. hope you are happy for few years.. Good luck
No primer? Wait for the rust. It will come.
Explain please, I'm about to get this done..🤔
Whenever you scuff the paint make sure you dont go all the way to the metal if you do use etching primer to cover the metal surface. That’s it I just skipped a step sorry. Learn from my mistake. Good luck 👍
@@five7garage826
I appreciate your quick response. And thanks for the tip 💯👍🙏🙏
@@five7garage826 humble man. Nice to see a man own up and tell the next man to not do the same.
Most people would just ignore or delete the comment. Respect sir.
Liked the video, hated the super loud music.
Terrible with that grinder they sell nylon heads with hard Brissles
80 grit!?!? You didn't need to literally "grind" the paint down to bare metal, just a good scuffing with 220 grit or a course scotchbrite pad would of been all that's needed. Spots that were ground down to bare metal should of had a coat of etching primer applied before the liner was sprayed on.
You shoulda brought the bedliner up over and onto the top of the bedrail so that was protected also. I guess that's personal preference though. :)
wow this is cringe, you didnt have to waste all that time grinding the bed, a 6in and 2 in sander with 180 would've been just fine to sand and feather any messed up spots.
Agree, but it was my first time. Lesson learned.
Please don’t mislead people when you clearly have no idea of what you’re doing. Didn’t have to take it down to bare metal, and DEFINIETLY shouldn’t have sprayed raptor directly on bare metal. If you for some reason like rust or bad previous paint have to take it down to bare metal, use a good primer like some 2k epoxy first. Also sprayed at way too close of a distance
