I would highly highly recommend hitting it with a clear coat (even if you do matt or semi-gloss). The clear will close off any micro pores that catch dirt and that make it raggedy looking in time...in addition is quite tough to clean and take care of with out the clear. The clear makes everything float on the toppest layers and can be wiped up without the towel snagging and leaving lint. Outside the normal stuff like doing trunks, pans, engine bays I have a full blown custom Audi done in Raptor (full tear down/interior/exterior) with a stage 2 paint job over the top and a fully custom cafe racer in Raptor Ferrari Red 2 stage with chrome Raptor tank & pieces, both over 10 years so I'm pretty familiar with it outside the standard uses.
Outstanding results!!!! This is the first video of yours that I've watched (as I've come here by going down a rabbit hole of Raptor Liner youtube videos) and I'm super impressed with the camera work and editing. Narration is interesting and relevant. Interesting content. Great quality workmanship. I have no interest in FJ40s, but how could I not subscribe and go back to see what else you've done. Top shelf work!
Fantastic progress on that floor and I love that you’re keeping as much original paint as possible. I did the same with the ‘49 CJ3a in my avatar pic. All original paint complete with dings, scrapes, worn areas. Going to enjoy it just like this as long as possible.
I'm working on my 40 tub and plan on doing it like you did. Thanks for all of the cool videos! Gives me inspiration since I'm in the middle of a LONG restoration process. Cheers-

Looks really good. Did you ever consider the products that look like bedliner but also have sound and heat properties? Especially for the floor and firewall. I used those on my 1969 FJ55 and they work remarkably well.
@@Jerod_Helt The product I used was Lizard Skin. Two coats of each for sound and heat. I have heard some still like to spray on a true liner product on top of that.
I wonder how durable it is. I sprayed something similar in a work van and the stuff was hard as steel. Years later I wanted to do it again but couldn’t find or remember the name. Looking for a replacement. It was a 2 part product that came with its own sprayer. You needed a respirator with mine, it was nasty. Xylene based I think. Dried very fast.
@JNHClassics Those paint stripping disc's are a horribly inefficient way to remove paint. Cup wheels are much better. They make them with plastic abrasive wires in grits too. They do great and don't damage substrates, get into lows and hit high, etc.

This looks so good with the new coated floor pans and the old body paint.
It's looking like new on the bottom, those before and after shots alone. Very tasteful and clean.
This is as good as it gets. I did bodywork for years. A treat to watch.
Nicely done!
Thanks, and Woof to Walter.

Awesome! Thank you!
Just discovered this channel, what a satisfying episode. Looks like I have some catching up to do.

Nicely done mate 👍. You are doing an awesome job
Before vs. after is remarkable! Nice work!
Wow that looks absolutely fantastic!
Oh no! I am at least 15 episodes behind on the Land Cruiser build but I wanted to watch this. Glad to say I didn't feel it contained any spoilers.
Looks great, contemplating doing the same thing on mine.
Awesome progress
That looks great. Very nice job.
Nice job! Quite clean and neat finish
Excellent job 👍

Looks great 👍. Good job
One thing to remember about raptor is the iso's are deadly. Please wear a tyvex full suit, goggles, gloves, and an acid gas respirator.
It's looking great!
👍💪✌
Looks really good sir
I wonder if rust converter would’ve worked instead of the stripping; of course always making sure everything was solid 🤔 Wonderful job, Jared.
nice job! looks great
Love the before and after shots! It looks so nice now that it's easy to forget how bad it was when you got it. Great work!!
Very nice done 👍
Looks awesome!
Love it can’t wait to see the next progress video, the LC is coming out really nice
Love your work
Looks great
Very nice finish! Looks like the car is gonna turn out great 😊😍 keep up the good work!
You could use a matte clear over the old paint to keep the patina but stop further corrosion... Just an idea
Not finishing the inside was a mistake IMO It's gonna continue to deteriorate. But what you did looks great...

Good to know. Thanks
@@Jerod_Helt The product I used was Lizard Skin. Two coats of each for sound and heat. I have heard some still like to spray on a true liner product on top of that.
I painted the entire exterior of my 4x4 ram truck with it. I didn't want to worry about scratches from limbs etc when offroading. It's tough as nails.
Looks great. How durable has it been so far?
It’s holding up well
Looks great! Did you tint that with the beige tint from Raptor or is it automotive paint? Thanks
The tint was mixed by my local paint shop to match the truck
@@Jerod_Helt Thanks for the quick answer!
What PSI (understanding recommended PSI is 35-60) did you use at the compressor? (currently working on a 76 FJ40)
I set the compressor at 50psi
What abrasive disc are you using on the old paint please?
There should be a link in the description for the disc
I love that color - what’s the paint code? Is it the desert tan 4J9???
I’m not sure about the paint code. I took one of the vents to my paint guy and he mixed the color to match that part.

What’s the product name you used to tint the raptor product. Thanks
It’s tint from my local paint shop that was matched to the color of the FJ
You have content for a 30 min video, why your last videos are so short?
It's a shame because this channel is one of my favourites!
He mentioned a while back that UA-cam wasn't putting bread on the table, so he has stopped full-time UA-cam.
👏👍
👍👍✌️
🤗👍👏👏👏
Should have sand blasted the rust off
.....you'd have been smarter to use the appropriate cup wheels to begin with. Lol
?
