I'm right in the middle of a complete respray with this stuff and let me assure you, neither of these guys resprayed their entire vehicles with it (themselves) and certainly NOT in an afternoon with a "few mates & beers". This option is not something you can do in an afternoon, especially if you plan to respray your rig including the door apertures, doors and bonnet inside & out, you also will need to remove your tub or tray if you are uterised. Even if you plan on masking everything up and just shooting the outside panels on a wagon, let us consider that; * You need to thoroughly clean & degrease the vehicle, then let it dry * You need to mask & sand (preferably) past the clear coat * You need to reclean the vehicle with wax & grease remover and tack rag it * You need to then apply grip40 or similar to any plastic (2 coats) then let it flash of 20min * You need to then mix and paint and let me tell you, if you are tinting it you will not be doing it in the bottle - I wouldn't even do the fill, shake shoot thing with black after seeing how viscous it is. * Once mixed you have an hour to get it on or it goes off, you need to wait 60min between coats but if you go more than 5hrs you need to scuff & reclean before recoating * You cannot let it get water on it for at least 72hrs and in my experience you can still damage it by day 2 if you do something thoughtless and have thinned it to use an HVLP gun. You cannot put any load on it for that 72hrs and given my experience I'd say longer if you thinned it. It hardens completely in 7 days. If you are doing it at the moment in cold weather add 30% to the above. Not dissing the product, just letting you know, plan for a week off the road as a minimum unless you would like to try to sand all the bits that aren't falling off by themselves in 12 months. Prep and curing time is absolutely critical.
PLEASE READ THIS!!!! I’m a painter by trade and I deal with these types of paints and spray guns all the time. One problem with raptor is it contains “Isocyanates” which is extremely poison if inhaled or consumed, (and is not good to even touch). PLEASE if you use raptor use gloves, safety goggles and minimum a duel filter respirator with chemical grade filter pads in them. It won’t so much hurt you instantly but in 30-40 years time if a lot is exposed to your body
Did my whole surf. This stuff is absolutely awesome. Did the whole car over a Saturday and the next day took it out mudding, didn't phase it. I take my truck everywhere (down quad bike tracks, thick bush, making new tracks) and there are barely any scratches. Of course everything has it's limits but I'd hate to see what my 4wd would look like without it. Definitely worth it.
I love watching 4wd Action. It’s so cool to see you guys take a basic 4x4 with 32” tires and lockers up and through just about anything. When you guys say out in the “bush” you mean out in the bush. Cheers from the States. 🤘🏼🔥
I've been thinking of raptor coating my rig for a while and seeing how easy it is I will be looking into it more, great info and cant wait for the next video
i have been using this stuff for a while now. almost sprayed the entire jeep xj... it is really really easy ! since it is thick it does not run as easily as most paint. and the key to adhesion is prep. the main problem that i run into when trying to apply this is finding good enough weather to apply it. where i live it is normally cold or humid when it is warm it needs to be over 68 degrees F (about 20 C) and less than 60% humidity, and needs 3 days before it is exposed to water, and 7 days to fully cure .!. also suggest using u-pol acid #8 etch primer first if you are spraying raptor on bare metal (it can also be sprayed on with a HPLV spray gun or rattle can)
@@chrishiggins1811 oh, and the raptor kit comes with a gun OR without... i paid like $10 more for the kit with the gun and it works well. however, it does NOT come with an air fitting, dont let that catch you off guard. i have used 3 kits (12 liters) of black so far. i have coated the interior floor, entire underside, two axles, and two bumpers. i have not done the exterior yet because i still have some custom body work to do. but i think i need 1 & 1/2 more kits (6 liters) to do the entire exterior and will probably try to mix some color into to that. so in total i probably end up buying 5 kits and 3 quarts of acid#8 to the complete the entire jeep cherokee xj inside and out and maybe have a liter or two left for touch up.. and remember to wear eye protection, a good respirator, and keep the over spray off of anything that you dont want coated (including your self), cause it does not want to come off... good luck!
@@MrMrsregor thank you so much for more info, I've been doing some more thinking about it and thinking of coating the inside floor too to kill some noice. So doing the inside and outside of the rig I'd be looking at 5 or 6 kits by the sounds of it and 3 or 4 quarts of acid#8
Nice one lads! Ive used Raptor on a Jimny pickup project recently and its very good stuff. No marks from tight green-lanes and easy to apply and look after :-)
You guys spruik everything! Got any kitchen sinks to recommend? Much appreciated though, it's awesome to find so many Australian-made products thanks to you.
my boss painted his entire zook ute in raptor , looks great , had the raptor triton come into my work after he did it they wanted to sponsor it use it as a example car
How much did it cost I have a 79 f150 that needs some new paint and it's black so this stuff might be the ticket I also want to do tune chassis in the gritty texture
@@wyohorseman9948 It was about 120 per box, if I remember correctly. I did about the lower half and it could use more. I would just POR15 the frame honestly unless your going for a look. I would plan on 2 boxes if doing whole truck body, cheers
@@nhouston6179 Yea, clearly I should have been internet specific, I meant "in general" not the freaking rhino liner....Australia/4WD Action...cool stuff in general.
$900 isn't any cheaper than regular 2k car paint. The only difference is that you can be lazy with the prep work and it won't look too bad. That's why regular paint jobs cost a lot more than $900 - the cost of the paint is peanuts compared to the labour required to prep the car.
This would be perfect for the tub of utes. Never liked the plastic liners so this is a better option. Thinking also great for the bike trailer as well.
whiskeyinthejar24 correct. Yet people still opt for the plastic liner more often. In person I didn’t like it as a paint job on the 80 but I guess it was a budget option.
my mate sprayed his trailer with this.. he use to continually touch up rock chips and rust because of chips/scratches but he hasn't had to after he sprayed it about a year ago...
hey boys whats going on at 4.45? are you cutting the paint right back before applying? if so, grit? how much to take off before its ready to apply raptor? great outcome on your project!!
ive got a sticker on my 4x4 .. "dont mind the scratches" " i like it rough ".. but now the kids have seen this and i must say think it will be nice not to see the scratches ..
Gidday Lads, What colour tint did you guys use for that particular Triton? I’ve got 2 full raptor tintable kits here at home waiting for a good weekend and love the colour you guys picked.... would love to use this exact tint! Cheers!
Hiya! We are pleased you like the colour, The Triton in the video was tinted with RAL7024. Solid Graphite Grey. If you have any issues tracking it down let us know, and we will see if we can help :)
If filling the Raptorcoat bottle is anything like you cooking Shaun......LOL Of note, do the instructions tell a person or persons what cleans off the excess Raptorcoat effectively from other surfaces or even skin? Cheers :-)
Once RAPTOR has been applied and is cured, just like any paint coating, it would need to be removed by sanding it off, either down to the original substrate or to bare metal.
Hay guys, I have some semi flexible guards and want to use raptor. Is this possible. Will raptor flex slightly? If I can is there a particular process to use. Thanks hope you see this it’s been a while
What about for use on bash plates? I have stainless ones at the moment which are all scratched up so i think this coating would look much better but not sure about the durability
@@U-POLAustraliaNZ um mostly at this point is my aluminium rims on my 4x4 as i do a lot of beach driving and the beach sand has scrubbed my rims so was thinking of using your product to not only protect my rims but pretty them up, and thank you for your reply
Do I need to put an undercoating if I'm sanding my bullbar back to bare metal? How much would you recommend to get for full size steel arb bullbar and full size roof racks with sides all around. Thank you
Once RAPTOR has been applied and is cured, just like any paint coating, it would need to be removed by sanding it off, either down to the original substrate or to bare metal.
PJ one of the great advantages of Raptor is you can choose any automotive car colour because you tint the product with automotive 2 pac paint. So is it Toyota 045 or Nissan QV2?
In regards to the stickers etc how to you get around that? Carefully mask over the stickers then spray or a different way? Done the inside of my tub with it and it’s scratched and chipped massively from work but that was just rolled on
The stickers are clear, we painted the colours down first, then clear stickers.Applied the raptor, then removed the stickers when unmasking to reveal the painted surface.
I think it's in one of the DVD's that came out with the magazine mate. They aren't all on You Tube. You would probably need to order out of their back catalogue to get it.

I've been contemplating raptoring the GU Patrol but a lot of people say it will de-value the vehicle.
How do you find washing a car that has been painted in Raptor. I would imagine it would be like sand paper on a sponge 🤔
It’s actually easy. I did my tray. It’s not sharp and gritty more bumpy
The RAPTOR and UPOL letters, was it added before the liner or after? Just asking cos I'm planning on doing it onto my company truck....
Grate video and I will do it to my toyota Landcruiser 80 thanks really helps and love you and shnwo

How does it compare to powder coating? What’s the pro’s vs cons of a Raptor Coat, and a Hammer-tone Powder coat?
I think powder coat needs an oven to bake.

Can u roll on first coat then spray on last chunky coat
Where is everyone getting their paint for the tinting?
I'm curious how much it weighs. If you paint your entire 4Runner body, for example, what are we looking at in lbs? (Greets from America)
Feint you American???
