Dude you definitely have it dialed in. I certainly do appreciate the very well thought out and produced video you have created!
KUDOS BROTHER!!!
This guy is my favorite guy to be on youtube let me tell you. This guy is THE guy.
YOU’RE the man. Appreciate you being here, Tom! 🤙
That’s mad. Painting a brand new vehicle. To be fair though it really suits the Jeep. Great job mate.
Fellow Jerseyite and Raptor installer here. We talked once before. You do great work, but if I can, a DA with 180 and red scotch Brite would save all that priming. Also, even though raptor sells their own line of adhesion promoter and primer, a regular 2k self etching epoxy primer and a 1.6 gun works better for me. I use Bullfrog adhesion promoter on the plastics and hard to reach areas. Last suggestion that stretches this stuff out. Reduce 10% with urethane reducer and add your own paint color. I use a HF purple gun and drill the the tip to 2.0 MM. Lays out smooth, but I will say it does need a 4th coat. But it goes really quick.
Keep up the good work and looking forward to more vids.
I certainly remember our past conversation, you have always provided invaluable insight! Thanks for taking the time to watch and again, provide additional insight. I was really interested in using the Eastwood SCT since, although I only show the interesting Raptor jobs, I mostly do truck beds and they are a PAIN with a DA. The Contour is the perfect tool for that and although it was overkill (and yes, took it down to bare metal forcing me to prime), I was too excited to test it out 🤣 I always recommend the Raptor stuff since for begineers and people watching videos like these, they always ask if one product from another brand is compatible with Raptor. Using U-Pol's Raptor products ensure there's no confusion, but what you're saying is 100% true and when I worked at Line-X, we used the same adhesion promoter that you use as well. I have yet to try your recommendation of reducing and adding your own color, but I'm taking your advice and applying it to my respray on my own Jeep Grand Cherokee, I'll be repainting everything in an OD green with your tips! Thanks again for watching, I look forward to seeing what you have to say in upcoming projects!
@@MyJeepStory can't wait to see it. I. Doing a lizard skin project now. Underside of a custom van. Boy is this messy!
@@MyJeepStory yes, DA on a bed is a pain. The SCT with a wire brush or red scrotchbrite pad would be the way with that.
Your videos just get better and better thank so much for your time! Education! All the above!
Thank you SO much! I have more to come, currently shopping for a commercial property/shop to start creating content and doing things like this more often. Once I find the location, content will flow on a regular basis. Thanks again, Jeremy!
Another well thought out video and incredibly detail oriented process you have for making sure your client is beyond satisfied. Absolutely mind-blowing results , and your confidence level to do this to a brand new vehicle is awe- inspiring . Lol on the girlfriend cameo appearance ( nice touch ) . I'm sending raptor liner a quick comment to check out your video with a link . Very impressive my friend . Stay cool man .
If there's one person that I had hoped would see this video, it was you! Thanks for taking the time to watch my videos, having someone consistently watch and provide feedback means a lot- especially with the fact that my channel is small. I put a lot of time and effort into these videos and I seriously appreciate the fact that you always have something kind to say. I'll get my girlfriend in upcoming videos more often and I look forward to hearing from you next!
@@MyJeepStory Im always watching smaller Chanels that have great content over the big ones. I guess I just like to see good people ( like yourself ) make it in life. Too much negative people in the world who don't take risks or even try ,but instead just sit around and complain. Take care bro.
We pay for and learn from our mistakes. Great job Man 👌
That is bad ass. I like that you didnt need a paint booth. They want 14000 to paint my T600 Kenworth semi truck. I think im gonna do this instead being that i can do it outside. Great job.
Buying the Contour Sander. Amazing tool. Will obviously make the job much easier/faster. I have two Jeeps to do this Spring.
I think first dewaxer then scourpads then adhesion promoter then wash and then mask. Most vehicles I would pressure wash first and last before waxing unless under 500 miles
Awesome video. I wish I had that Eastwood sander when I did my truck.
It was a huge help! I did the last project with an orbital sander hooked up to my compressor and it took twice the time. Thanks for watching too!
That's what I used also. The 20 gallon compressor did not hold up well. I had to take alot of brakes. The compressor did do well with the Raptor though.
This might be the most beautiful thing i ever seen
Hahaha, I really appreciate it! I’m proud of how the Jeep came out and I’m glad I filmed it so others can hopefully get inspired to do their own if they want to. Otherwise, I’m just happy people get to enjoy it regardless 🙌
I got an fj cruiser and it's paint is on its last leg. I'll probably wait a year or two until I finish school then I'm going to raptor line it a nardo gray. Your videos are super helpful and I'm getting excited to do mine will watching.
Sweet!
I am leading up to Raptor coating my '91 F350 Dually and your vids helped prepare me, much appreciated . . .
This guy had a nice paint job from the factory!
Next time order one with raptor liner! 😃
Yes he did! It was his choice and he loves it now, so all is well 😁
@@MyJeepStory 💰🤫
Excellent EXCELLENT JOB my friend! I have a 2011 Mercedes SLK 350 which I refer to as my "mid life crisis" car that I use to zip around the Vegas area every now and then (I live just on the outskirts). Anyways, I would have never considered doing my ride with a product that would definitely be such a radical transition but after seeing a newer model Mercedes C63-S Cabriolet done with it (saw it in town) AND THEN coming across your videos it may be in the near future for mine! Hey, I gotta say, I truly admire your patience brother! That is one area I have been working on for 50+ years! Keep up the good work. Regards, D. Scott
Thank you so much! I recently visited Vegas for the first time in my life just a couple years back when my girlfriend and I were in college. We came just for the warm weather since we studied in upstate, NY where it's still probably snowing in late April haha. That's a nice vehicle to be spraying, I was nervous spraying this new Gladiator, but I would be shaking doing yours! That being said, it's something that can most certainly be done and you'll have a serious appreciation if you get to do it yourself. The great thing about learning to do it is that you'll be able to repair it in the future or fix any mistakes that come up. I made a few mistakes lining my own Jeep (made a video on that previously, not this video) and I ended up being able to fix each one and respray the Jeep with ease.
Thanks again for taking the time to comment and for the kind words. If you ever need any help or advice, feel free to shoot me a message on Facebook or Instagram! I wish you luck and I look forward to hearing your input on future uploads!
One ☝️ word RESPECT ‼️✅
Such a cool video. Now we need to start figuring out how to do this with our jeep!
Thank you so much! Bring the Jeep down to my (future) shop that I'll be opening by the end of the year. I can definitely help out! Either way, good luck and let me know how it goes if you're not local, otherwise, I'd love to see it.
wow this was an awesome project, came out looking real good. keep it up man love the content!!!!
Thanks, Oleh! I really appreciate you taking the time to check out my channel and I'm happy to do the same. Just turned on notifications for your channel, looking forward to it!
Wow that is tons of work. Good job
Thanks for taking a look! It’s definitely a lot of work, but anyone who has lined their own vehicle will tell you it’s all worth it to see it put back together and the benefits of a liner speak for themselves!
Give wire tape a try for masking up gives really neat edges and you don't need to be in a rush to unmask we use it when masking up for linex
I used to work at Line-X here in NJ! Line-X dried so quickly compared to this (for obvious reasons) so that wire tape was a must. This liner's thickness is much thinner than Line-X, so it's less of a necessity to use the wire tape. It was such a pain using that stuff around every edge that you'd pull I can't imagine applying it to an entire vehicle for a spray even though I used to do it every now and then at Line-X. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment, I'll run some tests with the wire tape and see how it goes!
Great job Great video. Good luck with the upcoming shop. Work hard, make good choices and thing will work out for you just fine.
Made it here from the forum! I really appreciate you taking the time to head over to RUclips and watch the video and I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for all of the kind words and hopefully I'll see you on the trails someday 👍
Professional aprentice. The best and cool 😎
Great editing and storytelling. Really easy to watch
Thank you James, I’m glad you got to enjoy the video! I appreciate you taking the time to write in the kind words as well. I put a lot of time into these edits and am really proud of how they turn out so it always makes my day ti read a comment like this!
Sweeeeeeet. What else can you say... 🤠
Right on, thank you!
You would get every drop and best performance from guns that feed from above gravity style
How well is it holding up fading cracking peeling Probably go with just basic black as well on my well on my vehicles already black just would want to do the outside not inside the door jams Once my paint starts looking bad
Hallo, just wondering how many bottles raptor liner I need for jeep commander, cheers
I thought you had to pull the tape while is still wet but people are saying you have to wait 1 hour in-between coats im alittle confused on the how many coats? and how long in-between? and when you should pull the tape? Just spent like 20 reading all 150 comments and no prevaile
I raptore'd my '09 Wrangler JK and it turned out just BADASS, but a Gladiator?
Want to do my Jeep next? Lol Great video, very informative!
Of course! I’d be happy to help and I’m glad to see ya on the channel. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Wow! Looks Amazing! How much do you charge? I have a 2020 Gladiator and I need it to be Raptorized!
It looks beautiful.
Looks great....
I appreciate it and hope you enjoyed the video!
How many bottles did you use? Look Great
Another awesome video! Thanks for showing all of your steps, and explaining what you've learned from the last time you applied the raptor. Did you have any problems getting all of the trim pieces back on the vehicle after everything was Raptored? I'll be doing my FJ Cruiser in Raptor next month, trying to decide how much to take off. Also, I see you sprayed everything outside. Did you do a degreaser in-between coats to get rid of any dust, or not worried about it? I'll be spraying in a partially open space as well. Thank you!
Do you use anti static plastic for masking
That looks like its a ton of work damn
And it's all worth it in the end!
I want this done but i want my firecracker red to turn lime green.
@@Beak3er Raptor comes in tintable kits!
How much you charge for the process. I would like to do my Jeep in deep cherry red ??
Really informative and well shot video 🤙🏼Did you have any issues with the door gaskets sealing?
Bold and brave but it looks good.
I appreciate it! I had such an ethical dilemma starting this and taking the sandpaper to the brand new paint.
@@MyJeepStory Can imagine. Was looking for a wrap for my JL and came across a video w/a similar color to urs. Think it's Rhino, but not sure. Check it out. ruclips.net/video/xtSzVTmvFtU/видео.html
Would you take the doors off of the hinges of a dodge 1500 when doing a color change? Maroon to tan
I wouldn't if I were being honest. Lining up things like hinges is a HUGE pain haha. You can do a great job and paint over them similarly to how I did so in this video. Good luck and let me know how it goes!
Stellar job and video
Did you go full strength, or did you thin the liner?
Awesome content as usual bro! 🔥
Appreciate you man, means a lot you checked the new video out 🙌
@@MyJeepStory you’ve done nothing but help me. Least I could do buddy
The Jeep looks awesome! I paid close attention to everything you said but didn't hear a few details that were important to me. I was hoping that you would share the psi settings so I started reading the comments and really got lost! When asked previously about your settings, you stated in one response that you shot at 50 psi, then 60 psi, then 70 psi. Then I read one response where you said 60 psi but increased 20psi for dust coat. Any chance that you would be willing to share exactly what you sprayed at for the main coat and then which psi for the dust coat? Thanks very much and please keep the vids coming! Excited to see your jeep respray.
Great job great tips
Newboob question ... the color is standard non tintable? Looks like a black satin
Thank you for the kind words! This is standard black Raptor, but you will notice that with different textures, the black often looks like a different shade just based on how the light reflects off the different textures. I’ve found that the less texture, the lighter the black!
oh actually showing us the finished job this time.. thumb.................. up
IF ur going to raptor line an older car with rust spots here and ther. How do u attack them and prevent it. is it epoxi primer when the rust is gone ?
Just want to make sure I got this correct. You sprayed at 60 psi first two coats then decreased down to 20 psi for the 3rd coat? Did you adjust the nozzel setting for 3rd coat or did you keep it at 3 turns? Also how often did you have to clean the nozzle? Any tips for cleaning the nozzle. Thanks man!
hi, you now how to clean that type of paint, because I spray my truck but it's to difficulty to clean.
I use a pressure washer to take initial layers of dirt off followed up a foam cannon to lift any stubborn dirt. Then I use Adams Polishes Truck Brush and it makes light work of any dirt or contaminants on the Raptor Liner.
Good stuff man! 👍
My man, like I said I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
This really helps, thanks.
Aweeeee shiiiiit!
Happy you made it, thanks for watching! 🤙
My small 1995 Mazda truck is losing its clear coat. Should I just rough the entire surface with 220 on my random orbit palm sander. Following that, can I just shoot on the Raptor liner or must I undercoat?
To preface this, you only need to prime the surface if you sand through paint to bare metal. Raptor doesn't adhere very well to bare metal and primer allows it to have the best adhesion in that case. If I were you, I'd order a set of red scuff pads and go to town! These are great to get in tight areas and are even what the TDS from Raptor recommends you use. After scuffing, degrease and clean the area well and hit it with Raptor.
This is a link to the scuff pads: www.u-pol.com/us/en/product/upol/bodyshop-consumables/consumables/maximum-finishing-pads#.YQdb8Y5KhPY
Thank you for your reply. I guess my sanding with 180 was a little overkill for Raptor. I did undercoat all spots that hit the metal. I think my job turned out well. You can see it at ruclips.net/video/oUvuM7qdo3g/видео.html
Jersey💪great video bud
Great video as usual!
Thanks man! I was watching your stream a couple nights ago, keep it up Cory 👊
@@MyJeepStory thanks for the support man. Some one else was in there also with a wk bit idk who it was
Of course, happy to help out where I can. Hope you’ve been well otherwise, it’s been a while. Still a part of the OG WK gang haha
Awesome job , what’s the process you would recommend on a bare steel bumper I recall you saying raptor linings doesn’t stick to well ?
You're right about that! If it's bare steel, you're going to want to apply their epoxy primer down first. It's a super easy step to ensure not only proper adhesion for Raptor Liner, but it also prevents corrosion. Just know that you can even get their 2K epoxy primer in an aerosol can!
The steps to Raptor Line bare steel would be as follows:
1: Clean the surface
2: Abrade the surface with P80 grit
3: Apply 2-3 coats of Raptor Epoxy Primer
4: Apply Raptor Liner wet-on-wet or dry
Here's a link to the TDS sheet for the epoxy primer as well: www.u-pol.com/files/10493/rep1lk-TDS-EN-AUS
Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@MyJeepStory Thank you I appreciate your quick response ✅
@@BosqueBurning I'm on it! Always happy to help, just let me know what else I can do for you when the time comes.
@@MyJeepStory thank you
Badass job!!! I saw the air compressor in the back how big of a tank you recommend to keep up with spraying?? Appreciate it.
Thank you so much! For a compressor, I’d recommend a 30 gallon which is what I’m using here. It keeps it portable enough and keeps up on the job no problem. That being said, U-POL suggests,
“A 6 HP compressor that generates 150 PSI line pressure should provide sufficient air supply, but is dependent on the application equipment / gun (Shultz type or gravity feed HVLP) used to apply the RAPTOR.”
Good job.
hey you don't have to alter the oem paint, you can just scuff it. and paint it.
I agree! OEM paint is the best surface to adhere to, I was just too excited to not use the Eastwood SCT haha. Thanks for watching!
I heard you say 3 turns out on nozzle but what psi did you spray. I like the texture
You’re right, I definitely missed that. I shot it at 70 PSI!
What PSI did you shoot this at?
Nice work! I’m actually thinking of raptor lining the hard top on my TJ. Besides sanding and cleaning it, I wouldn’t need to primer it would I?
The only time that you need a primer is when you sand through to bare metal. The best adhesion is typically achieved to OEM paint where you scuff the surface with the red scuff pads recommended by Raptor and shoot Raptor over the prepared surface. If you have rust or are doing dent repairs, you'll need primer due to the nature of the reparations. Let me know if you need any other help and let me know how the project goes!
I’m considering doing my 2005 f150. Is it necessary to take it all down like you did on the gladiator or can I do it like you did on the first keep. Also I’m thinking about doing an olive green color. Any fading concerns?
To start, no matter the color you won’t worry about fading at all. I recommend using Raptor’s color packs to keep it a consistent color and you won’t have to worry about using tint like you would otherwise. You also definitely do not have to tear the rig apart as I did, I was just worried about getting a uniform prepped surface behind the cab and in front of the bed. I do recommend removing everything you can, especially the rubber seals since they’re almost impossible to mask properly and give clean lines after it’s sprayed. Just take your time and enjoy! Let me know if I can do anything to help along the way.
Killer bud! 🤙🏻
I’m happy you got to see the video, miss you man. Thanks for taking the time and commenting 🤙
@@MyJeepStory miss ya too man, the videos get better and better dude!
What type of air compressor do you recommend while being on a budget
Check out the options from Eastwood, their prices are killer and they make a killer compressor. Regardless, the smallest I’d go is 30 gallons, there are some great options out there. Also, make sure to look on Facebook Marketplace as well as Craigslist 👍
Man nice job 👍🏾 what color exactly was that it looks black but then again it looks dark gray. It came out good. It got me thinking 🤔 about my truck
So I've noticed that the color of Raptor Liner's standard black can depend on the texture you apply it at. The more coarse texture, the blacker it appears and the finer texture, as shown in this video, appears grey-black. This is just standard black, but as I was saying due to the texture, it often looks grey. I hope this helps and let me know if you decide to tackle this project on your rig!
amazing work! this is definitely something I've considered doing on mine. What would you say was the overall time that it took to get this completed?
It definitely depends on the vehicle and how in-depth you'd like to get (doors off, trim removal, etc), but this particular project took me about two weeks including the filming aspect of it, but I'd say I could have gotten it done within a single week! I also Raptor Lined my Jeep WK and that took about a week as well. Thanks for the kind words and taking the time to watch!
how’d it hold up after a year? thinking ab doing mine
I've got know what color you used
Great Job Guy! My daily driver has an incalculable amount of dents, dings and scratches that come from parking, driving in NYC. Carless motorist, delivery people on E-bikes & E-scooters, garbage trucks, city buses, throngs of cyclist and just kRaZy New Yorkers are magnets to cars in this city. Anyways I have Hummer H3T that I've just picked up and want to prevent this from happening to it. Thus, I'm looking at LIne-X and DIY products like Raptor. If $ were no problem what if anything would you do differently? While the Raptor products might help with surface scratches, in your opinion is it as hard as Line-X?
Beautiful job!!! What psi were you running?? Thxs
Thank you! I used the Raptor Professional Vari-Nozzle gun at 50PSI in tbis video, ut you can run between 40-60PSI depending on the texture you’re looking for. Let me know if there’s anything else I can help ya with!
Awesome!!!
Love your attention to detail! I’ve got a 2014 Silverado regular cab that I want to do this to. Would you be interested?
Looks awesome dude.Just curious if you spray other peoples trucks and how much you’d charge minus materials. Got an 05 ram 1500 I want to do. But time is an issue with a 6 mo old and 4 year old lol.

would 8 quarts be enough for an entire subaru legacy?
I think that I would get 12 quarts. It’s worse to not have enough and need it then it is to have extra.
how did you re attach the badges after spraying?
Did you use any reducer in the liner and what psi did you spray at
This was awesome and looks spotless!
I'm about to spray my truck with raptorliner. What PSI did you spray with? And would you say it's important to have a regulator on the gun side. (I only have on the tank/compressor side).
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! I would before all stress that you'll need a regulator at the gun as the pressure varies quite a bit (especially with a longer hose). I would also see if you can find a secondary water separator to install before the gun as well for preventative measures. I sprayed this here around 60 PSI and increased the PSI for the final dust coat about 20 PSI. I hope this helps!
@@MyJeepStory Thank you! It sure helps, and I'll get another regulator and water separator, as the air hose is fairly long. (The compressor though is huge, so it should be able to hold pressure in the hose). But, It does not hurt to get another regulator :)

Awesome video man, had to watch it twice ! What psi were you running for such a fine finish ?
Thank you so much! I used the Professional Vari-Nozzle gun and shot at 60 PSI. The Vari-Nozzle is what helps with varying textures, but needs to be cleaned often. Also make sure that the PSI your shooting is read at the gun, not at the compressor.
awesome video, could you please reccomend what generator you used for operating both guns ?
compressor*
Of course! I appreciate the feedback and I’ll link the compressor that I used below. It was much cheaper when I purchased it, seems to have increased in price but there are other great options out there.

How much for a 2 door rubicon wrangler
How much to get it done or how many liters? If the ladder, I’d say 12 liters, but I’d buy 16 in case. To do it, I’d expect to pay around $2,500-$3,000 for a job similar to the video!
Hm. I’m reading your replies, and when people ask what PSI you used, you’ve replied 50, 60, and 70.
Seems like maybe you forgot?
How come no more videos in last year ?
what PSI did you shoot at?
Using the Professional Vari-Nozzle, I shoot at 50 PSI, but it operates between 40-60 PSI depending on the texture you’re looking for. Lower PSI means a more coarse texture and a hugher PSI will result in less texture.
Question for ya, when you do your dropcoat, how do you avoid getting a really gritty texture? When I do a dropcoat, it always changes the texture
Increase the PSI! You're definitely going to want to shoot at higher pressures, probably 20+ PSI greater. Play around with the PSI and see what ya like, but that should be the answer for you.
What do you charge to do it ?
Depends on the vehicle, but between $2,000 and $3,500 for labor for something of this extent. I took this thing apart completely and pay super close attention to prepping and painting every piece. I put everything back together in spec from Mopar and it takes a while to get it all done. I’m always happy to help you along the way if you decide to do it yourself though, I do that for free 👍

So you used no more than 5 bottles for the whole project??
Apologies if that was confusing, I used 16 total bottles for this project 👍
Use a regular spray gun & thin the mixed Raptor - use a 1.8 tip. Better coverage, smoother. Also the adhesion promoter.... would you use it before a regular 2k primer shot? Because you buried it under the 2k primer.. :-) So it's kinda moot. If you'd skipped the "sand it bare" step & just scuffed the original paint with 180 grit, used adhesion promoter where seen fit & shot that with the Raptor, you'da saved a lot of effort & had a factory spec base under the liner coat.. That & a few extra hours masking, minus the extreme dismantling, this would be a short video, but the results would be much the same visually - 4 or 5 hours of fussy masking beats days of dis-assembly/re-assembly & all the "shonkiness" non-factory re-assembly inevitably introduces. :-) You ain't gonna get it to go back together as tight as the factory did, not a hope, be as careful as you like. LITFA where possible & mask. Just my 2c - loved the video, everyones a Critic. :-)
👍👍👍
Bro your doing way to much you should be using 3000 grit, wet sanding by hand have fun repainting it in few weeks 😂
