    I have done this twice now. Use the reducer to thin it by about 10%. Spray it at the highest pressure (60psi) and regulate it at the gun, not the tank. Then spray it far away (18 - 24 in) and in 3 coats. First coat should give about 50% coverage. You want it too be thin so it fits in the gaps and door hinges well. This will result in a fine texture that is just as durable as a traditional bed liner.

    @Doubledteam1 4 роки тому +30

    The issue with the look of bedliner (coming from a person that has used raptor liner alot) is the spraying technique. If youre heavy with your sprays while using a dark color you will see every stroke (like matte auto paint). Lighter colors do a better job than darker colors at hiding it. My personal approach is to get the color coverage on the first coat then on the second and third coats i step back and do light mists with even, feathered off coats to smooth the texture and it gives good results.

    I’ve always been intrigued by the concept of bed lining a truck and the beige and green trucks look sick! I agree with your suggestion of blacking out various parts of the truck too. A new back bumper, new headlights and taillights and maybe even new rims would greatly elevate the exterior as a whole.

    To spray or not to spray, that is the question!
    Some vehicles look better with this liner as a topcoat, and some don't. I think these small'ish pickup's do look better with the coating, especially if they'are
    going to be used for the great outdoors.
    This one, shown here does look good,...but I have a little tip that some may find helpful, when you use a spray gun, any spray gun to paint a surface, try to keep
    the gun/nozzle help at a 90 degrees to that surface. Doing that will help minimize 'thin looking' edges to the paint or coating ( as in this case ) In other words
    holding the gun at 90 degrees will stop the 'fanning' effect of the paint, especially at the end of a panel.

    Did a hail damaged 2017 GMC Sierra and 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander with Raptor in my tent garage. Its great in that you can do quick, rough body filler on the dents and not worry about it being perfect as the liner covers over any small scratches and imperfections. I did use a 2k primer first however since you can't apply the raptor liner directly over the body filler. Still far cheaper and quicker then the $10000 to $15000 and the 3 to 4 weeks I was quoted by body shops for a normal restoration with factory paint.

It’s extremely durable and every truck I own from now on I’m going to spray it. No scratches and it gives it a real aggressive look. Be forewarned, with all the hills and valleys of the stucco like texture, it can be tricky to clean and picks up dirt easy. Overall, would recommend!

    I'm definitely into this, if textured right, washing it is not an issue, I have a Jeep xj, and simply did spray out of w can on just the front and down the lower sides of the panels, it washes awesome and is a thinner texture but still textured, it's also a black liner spray out of a can, it's been on almost three years and it has chipped in some places but overall has actually held up surprisingly with just out of a can, my question is , I plan to do a raptor line on other parts of the Jeep including respraying over top of what I did from the can, so I wonder if you could spray over top of what I have already done because I want the same color which is black and I wonder if it would be fine . Again the reliability of it is awesome and if you have a Jeep or off-road vehicle then this is a great option .it completely eliminates the scratching of tree limbs, and looks great.

      A mighty max? That thing still going? Nice! The stuff does stick to chrome pretty well, but it does help to scuff it up.

LInex said it would add 700-1200 lbs to my truck if i used them. Monstaliner was 3 gallons, so 25 lbs ish. Do the bed, mirrors, grill, and bumpers in black raptor lining. Maybe even the flares if you have enough left over.

      I just starded sanding down my 2000 F350 yesterday down to the factory primer but about 10% of the areas are sanded to bare metal mostly around the edges. I watched ProjectFarm YT channel video product comparison and it looks like Herculiner would be the best choice. He didn't review Monstaliner. Do you have an opinion as to what is the best (price not being a factor) My truck lives outside in Texas heat and UV light is what killed my clearcoat that has been flaking off the truck for the past five or so years. I would prefer to spray or roll it myself, I just want the best product without having to pay a crazy amount for a company to spray it. I know that two-part epoxy coatings are the best.

    The concern that I would have would be related to locking in moisture. I had the dealership add rust proofing to my last truck (which was already 6 years old when I bought it) and it seemed to rust faster. The rust proofing flaked off after some time from the rust that developed underneath.

    • @Liberty4Ever
      @Liberty4Ever 2 роки тому +1

      Spraying a hardening sealer over rust is a disaster. You can wire brush off scaling rust and apply POR15 to make a hard black epoxy paint, but whether POR15 is used or not, cold water pressure rirse the frame (inside and out)and underbody, allow it to thoroughly dry for a few low humidity days, and spray it with Fluid Film, inside and outside the frame. Reapply to the outside of the frame annually.
      The stealership will spray asphalt over scaling rust, which is the worst.

I am not planning on selling this car ever, so i did not care about decreasing the value! The only con that i have is the red original pain on the tiny spots when u open the door or the hood. I wish i would have put the extra mile of work and painted them as well! It would have been much easier if i just repainted the fades red roof & hood and kept the original paint on it! But i like the tough look and feel of the bed liner. I don't think wait is an issue!
