I know you're a professional and I'm not trying to be a know it all or anything like that. I use rockit liner in the same way that you do for undercarriage or wheel wells etc. I have found that top coating the rockit with 2 coats of clear is the bees knees. Give it a shot sometime. I use like a Nason or Amtech cheap high solids clear and shoot 2-3 coats over the liner. Helps with cleanability and eliminates chemical streaking and UV fade down the line. The liner products like rockit and raptor are pretty susceptible to fade and chem streaks and they're a bitch to wash unless you can pressure wash em. The clear fixes all these issues and looks great too.
I think clean ability also depends on how it's sprayed. I personally like the "look" of a finer sprayed liner. However, spraying it heavier for a fatter peal cleans the easiest.
Glad to know what I recently done is exactly how a real pro does it. Thanks for the tips as always and in this case the confirmation that I do some things right on my own first instead of learning later I should have done it differently.😂
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS hey bud , did you ever separate the hood skin from the inner structure on the 61 Impala ? that would make a great video , just saying lol
@@mikealdag7309 actually I cut it out completely and left 6” around the perimeter. I have to remake the whole thing since factory comes in contact with the supercharger. 🤣
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS will you make a video on that ? I wish I was closer I'd come check it out I'm on the east coast , if you don't make a video on it I'd love to see pics when finished . I've learned a lot from your videos , I really do appreciate it
Another great video Travis. I've learned a lot from you and I appreciate all you do! Question....How long do you wait for epoxy primer to dry and what do you scuff it with before doing filler work on top of it?? Any help appreciated thanks
I give it a day to dry on like a traditional epoxy like DP90lv then scuff that with 120 grit apply filler and begin panel to panel blocking. We have a very specific method we use in our classes.
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS Thanks Travis. I had a goofy experience with some DP74 and the filler not staying adhered. I know I let it dry for at least a week...scuffed with 80 and mixed 50 to 1 rage filler on a scale. A year after the top coat , it cracked in a few spots. Was not very thick either. When I chipped it off , the epoxy was dark red and looked wet. Just looking for some reassurance. Thanks for all your help
We don't have anything in the shop at the moment but hopefully the skills needed are in one of our other videos. Thank you for the suggestion and we have added it to our list. 👍
Response to the Bad Chad hockey tape fiasco? 😂.. Good info as usual.. Like you said its not sound deadening either, Chad should use butyl mass barrier in those tin cans he builds. The Vevor brand is the best value & sticks well just like kilmat, ect.
Great explanations and detail. One question…..that fine line and the 1 1/2” tape really sticks to the epoxied surface. What keeps it from pulling paint off when you pull the tape? Thanks
What’s your thought on lizard skin and sound control on the underside of the car topped with raptor liner? 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Do you think it would hold up well under a jeep CJ
I don’t recommend it. Lizard skin is soft and way thicker. The raptor over it will crack it gets harder than the base material. I’d do lizard skin inside raptor on bottom
Can you put raptor bedliner inside the floor panels of a Chevelle I was think of sanding some superficial rust of the floor panels then put etching primer and over that raptor bedliner and the sound mats once the bedliner cures ?
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS is that lizard coating the one they sell in a bucket? Can I apply the sound/heat mats over it ? Thanks for the reply , do you have classes to teach on things like these?
I know it can be tinted but I’m unsure of the specifics. I’d ask your local paint supply. We had one we tinted orange years ago. It came out pretty cool.
Weep hole to where? If it goes into the interior it will rust out the floor. Even if you did that it still gets clogged by debris and dirt then it stays wet and causes same issue.
Glad to see you back at it online.
Thank you!

hey good info...??? do you seam seal both sides? outside and inside of the vehicle??? thx
I do
Thanks man
You're welcome!
Cool thank u
You're welcome!
Great valuable information , it has been awhile. How about a cowl replacement on a mid 60's GM car??? Many thanks.

Do you have a part number for the adjustable gun?
3m 08571 👌🏻

Exactly!🤣🤣🤣
Can I wire wheel surface rust, then ospho, then seam seal over oshpo before paint or do I need to epoxy over ospho, then seal seal, then paint
Epoxy first
Great explanations and detail.
One question…..that fine line and the 1 1/2” tape
really sticks to the epoxied surface. What keeps it from pulling paint off when you pull the tape?
Thanks
Proper preparation of the surface & cure time. If it pulls you did it wrong
Thanks!! If your substrate is prepped correctly non of it should pull off no matter the tape. If it does something below was not correctly applied.

You are better off using epoxy instead of etch and go over that with lizard skin
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS is that lizard coating the one they sell in a bucket? Can I apply the sound/heat mats over it ? Thanks for the reply , do you have classes to teach on things like these?
From my understanding you can add a body color to the raptor while mixing, is that correct?
I know it can be tinted but I’m unsure of the specifics. I’d ask your local paint supply. We had one we tinted orange years ago. It came out pretty cool.
Why didn't you add your own weep holes to allow water/ road grit a means to escape ? I will doing such to my K20 rockers and A/B pillars..
Weep hole to where? If it goes into the interior it will rust out the floor. Even if you did that it still gets clogged by debris and dirt then it stays wet and causes same issue.
All on the OUTSIDE of the rockers and pillars. No interior modifications . All directed to the pavement
I forgot the parts will have been coated with Eastwood's rust inhibiter/converter
👍✌️❤️
My gosh should of been a 5 minute video
Not everyone can be as good as you sport
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS I do not think that highly of myself.
