One small extra tip, if you have to paint perpendicular on the roof for example, make sure you doing it when the bottle is full, cause otherwise you may miss paint while the bottle is inclined as the inner pistol won’t be able to aspire the paint.
Congratulations, sir. Your tutorial on the specific spray painting techniques required to achieve an even, professional finish when applying Raptor paint is invaluable. Most of the videos I have watched fail to address the vital painting issues which you discuss in detail. I now understand why so many video presenters say that, while they are satisfied with the overall end result, there is one area which did not come out exactly right. Obviously, you can not expect uniformly satisfactory results without employing consistent (and correct) application techniques. Thanks again, Marco, I would quite likely have botched my Raptor paint job for8 without your video advice. Now I feel like I have a better chance of doing it right. . . .
I must say that I’ve watched multiple videos on this topic where they show the actual application of it while explaining some things, but although you did not show the application, what you explained was very informative! I learned tips that I had not heard on the other videos. Thank you for posting this!
I must have watched this video dozens of times in preparation to raptor line my 01 Yukon. Out of the many videos out there on raptor which I probably watched them all, this is by far the absolute best informative video on raptor liner. I did exactly what you said especially on ters on distance and keeping the gun perpendicular to the panels. My truck came out damn good. You brother, have the best video on this topic and I will definitely recommend it to everyone I run into interested in raptor lining their vehicle. Cheers!
How long did it take you to do the car, and how many coats did you do? He says take the masking tape off after 30 minutes, but I've seen people do 3 coats with an hour to dry in between sprays
@@Johnny-mo9df @Johnny Prep took like a week maybe week and a half. Paint day - I did this in Arizona, it's a tad warm here lol, a sunny day in the dead of the morning with minimal wind. Took me about 2.5 hrs to paint and I waited like 15 min between coats bc of how warm it is here. I saw another vid about spraying raptor in hot climates and they said at 30 min that bitch is dry in 90°+ weather. 1st coat light, 2nd coat heavy, 3rd coat heavish and last coat was light and mostly for texture. I would recommend 3 kits for a big SUV, I used 2 and will need to touch up the passenger side rear door a bit. Even with like 2 more bottles would do. It's been 3 mo and it still looks fucking pristine! Did mine in white and I fucking love it. I wanted something that would be easy to do, raptor is so flexible I was able to spray outside, with heat, and wind picked up towards the end. 100% recommend and follow this dudes instructions in the vid.
@@promptengineered I’m in florida, been prepping for the past few days and realized after taping off my garage that i might not have the space i need to spray. so i’ll probably pull the car outside and spray in the morning. when you say “1st coat light” did you still cover the entire vehicle? or was there some areas that got filled in more the 2nd and 3rd coats. also did you start on the roof and work your way down?
@@Johnny-mo9df light in the sense that you can clearly see primer still, lots of "holes" but I used it as more of a "test run" to see the texture coming out, how far back to stand, my fan speed etc. By the time you are done with that coat you will have a pretty good idea of how to spray and that's where you go heavy on the second coat.
Best tutorial on Raptor . I've been shooting Raptor since the 90's. Today 2023 April I'm using the turntable kit that comes with pre measured Hardner,and pre measured Tint. Extremely Smart move on Raptors part to do pre measured kits. This is why I liked them in the 90's . They had the measurements built into the Spray bottle, simple intelligent, product!
Definitely the best video I have seen on applying the Raptor product. I will be spraying my brother in law's Nissan Navara ute.I will view several more times before I attempt this job. You are a great teacher.
Excellent information. Thank you. My biggest take away - be sure I can sweep consistently for hours at a time. Will get out my hand weights in preparation for a summer application to the big van!
Fantastic! That was really a lot of useful information, I'll start again from the beginning and then run to my car and spray my cans :) Thank you so much!
Amazing video.. I am new to Raptor and this answered so many questions... thank you so very much for this video... I cannot stress how good this video is... I want to spray raptor with very little texture because I want a smoother finish without it being so aggressive in texture but still give me the tough durable finish.. You answered this perfectly... Thank you my friend....
You should make a video of the end result man, I’m also going to spray my 2000 Toyota Tundra in thinking about a toned down Olive green and bumpers black as well as the fender Flares.
Very, very good video! This is absolutely the best video I have seen as far as application. The final top coat will make or break the final appearance! Keep a distance.
Wow. This video is just what I needed to see. Thank you for posting. I am going to save this video so that I can watch it again before I respray my truck bed. I previously used another brand bed liner kit that I brushed on. I don't like how it turned out so I am going to redo it with the Raptor liner kit.
Awesome thanks! I made notes of all the main points should anyone else find useful: 180 grit to abrade whole vehicle Don't texture door jams because seal can fail 3:1 paint to hardener in measuring cup For the hlvp base coat add 10-15% thinner hlvp base coat 1.5, 1.8 or 2.0 tip texture coat. standard schutz gun, 3 to 3.5 bars, distance about 45cm practice first varying distance and air pressure to get desired texture do full horizontal strips around whole vehicle spray direct onto edges always keep perpendicular keep distance always the same, even on the windscreen pillars keep consistent hand speed keep stripes close together to avoid tiger striping every 2 bottles (litre) switch to thinner only bottle to clean gun. put into thinner and put on full air pressure to clean. mix each bottle just before you use it. Do not mix all bottles at the same time. This is because the viscosity changes as the paint ages. coarse: lower pressure to 3 bars and spray at 40cm fine: pressure to 4.5-5 bars and spray at 60cm also may add 5% thinner to give finer texture while spraying keep trigger pressed continuously if get some small inconsistencies in texture, use some twisted and folded over masking tape to dab and fix the inconsistencies keep finished vehicle away from water for one week
I watched every video on youtube you are the best i seen ..i know the others didnt show it but waiting to take tape off the next day i know they not get perfect paint lines i know this now i hope to see more video you may have more tips i just getting started with Raptor an i feel like a pro first time cause i watched this video
Thank you for this video my golf cart came out perfect using this tech THANKS for this awesome video i took the tape off the first 30 mins also like you said its perfect again THANKS
Might as well I postpone spraying raptor on my rig, i don't think anyone in my area has the product's know-how like this guy in this video.. I think i better wait until there's someone capable of doing it properly, not gonna waste my time.. kudos to the brief explanation Marco!
This is so incredibly helpful! I've watched many videos of Raptor application searching for a lot of the details that you provided in this video. Thank you so much for making this video! So many of my questions have been answered.
Thank you very much for the useful tips! This is the best explanation I've seen. Can I ask you two simple questions? 1. If there are spots where I sanded down the original paint to the bare steel, do I have to paint it with some primer, or can I spray the Raptor over the bare metal too? 2. Is it bad if I wait few hours, maybe a day between the Raptor coats? I'm thinking of spraying my totally disassembled body parts one by one, then wait till I can touch them, assemble the car, and do the texturing spraying. Greetings from Hungary!
Great video, you explained everything very well.very easy to understand. You gave excellent tips. Very important tips that I appreciate very much. Thank you sir. Please,have a good day.
Hey buddy thanks for the excellent tips! Extremely informative video. And when I raptor my box truck I will definitely follow your very wise well thought out tips!
21 days huh? . Funny story. I sprayed mine 7 yrs ago. It baked in the hot sun for the whole day. That evening we had a pea size hail storm come in. Didn't do anything to the truck. Lol. Painting my truck tomorrow needed a fresh review. Thanks island man.
Great video,thank you… I’ve started painting my Hj47 troopy with this but thinned out 25% to get it flatter and 3-4 coats… I’ve being toying shooting kbs clear over. It..what would be the best prep now my panels have been sitting for months with raptor fully cured????? Cheers From Dictator dans Australia
@@Tom-wp3ev yes just on some small things and I rushed it..pretty much the gloss just highlights the roughness…🤣…so I won’t be shooting that on exterior body work…but that kbs clear is hard as F@rk!!🤙🤙
Thanks for such an awesome resource! I've been considering trying this on my 2002 RAM 1500, with the factory paint having looked like trash ever since I got it 3 years ago. Seems like something I should be able to do at home, which sounds awesome! After the 21-day cure time, is it safe to take a raptor-lined vehicle through a car wash? Mine tends to get pretty dirty after I get home from the trails, haha. Also, what's the best way to color match Raptor to a similar gray? I think I recall seeing something about buying tint on their website? And last question, is there a specific type of primer I should be looking for, or is it better to apply the Raptor directly to the body after surface prep is complete? Thanks again!
Great guide, thank you for taking the time to do it in English, apart from the 180 grit preparation reference, do you have a video? Also is there any additional advice regarding coating plastic bumpers or body panels, lastly what are your thoughts on roller or roller and brush application?
Great! Many of my questions were answered by watching this! One question, can this be used inside the vehicle or will off gas be a problem later for people using the vehicle?
No wonder you're the technical director for Raptor! thanks for the excellent tutorial!!
Thanks a lot
This is a really good video, excellent advice, very clear, and your English is great - well done! Best guide to using Raptor paint that I’ve seen 👍

You must have a strong primer or paint scuffed as a surface. Most of these products will not adhere to bare metal.

Did you use the upol vari gun to get the finer texture result or the standard gun which comes with it?
