Just from personal experience, when spraying, especially when inexperienced, have a roller ready just in case you put it on heavy some where and cause a run. Excellent job bud, good luck with the build.
I just did the can yesterday because I didn’t want to hook up my spray rig and do it.. I have to say that that can does not go far 😮. It’s best to run the spray gun with the bottle of Raptor. Your cash will go much further 😊 of course as mentioned the material has a low pot life. Have all your pieces ready to spray at once so you get the most out of it. I did the whole roof of my landrover with 2 bottles . That can wouldn’t even get a quarter of that done at best. I thought it was a bit of a rip at 36$ a can. As always prep is 99 percent of the job. The painting is the easy part. ❤
Well done mate! ...your video was just what we've been looking for... was tossing up whether or not to use the convenience of raptor rattle cans, but the price per can is definetely a show stopper... have since purchased a 4ltr kit ($300 delivered ebay special) and roller system to coat our new off road camper trailer chassis... we watched a UPOL RAPTOR video of them coating a 4x4 chassis using their rollers, and it looks to be the go!, again great video mae, you have new subscribers... cheers from your mates in the Redlands (Mt Cotton) Grant & Kath (PS. We often 4x4 on Bribies's Woorim beach, lovely spot)
$16 to $25 per can here in Canadian Tire Stores here in Canada,The Kit With A Gallon,The Spay Gun and everything needed $140 At Canadian Tire Store In Canada, Those Prices Are Insanely Expensive Where You Live,Great Job You Did, Thank You For Sharing Brother
That truck looks amazing. I did the roof of my van with a spray gun. Today I did my roof rack. Found your video because I need a small amount to paint my brackets and don't want to waist a whole quart. Thanks for the vid.
I did think that and It had one Rob. But it was missing a piece. They are still expensive and I would of spent more on yellow paint as the bed still needed painting .
Currently just under $40 US here in the States for a can. I did a full size Bronco using the bottles and the Schultz gun. I got a special gun for a more smoother but still textured finish. I need to redo my tail gate and go the cans. It seemed the most efficient at the time. I have not used them yet. How chunky did the bed turn out? Hard to tell from the video. Maybe compare it to sand paper grit? Hopefully you still respond on this page.
How many bottles did it take for your Bronco? I'm coating my CJ5 exterior, and the bottles and gun seem to be a better deal than the cans at $40 plus here in Texas. Thanks.
@@shickenchits8123 Definitely go with the Bottles. Body took 8 bottles. (88 Full Size Bronco) The Top and accessories took 6 Bottles. ( I sprayed heavy for the top) I went with the tintable and added UPOLs Basalt Grey for the Bronco Body. 6 may have worked, but Amazon sent me a light grey tint pack mixed in with my basalt grey and I didn't catch it until I sprayed it. I did the top and grill, in Black. Plus the side mirrors and a safari rack and the chrome around the headlight assembly. The sprayers are not meant for fine controlled work. I had a lot of over spray for the smaller items and the rack. Tape and cover everything. Mind your spray distance. The standard gun in the kit gives a heavy textured coat. I bought an Adjustable gun (UPOL- UP4880) to get a finer texture for the body. It came out real nice. (80 grit sandpaper) I used a fairly small Porter Cable air compressor. 150psi/2.5sqfm If prepped correctly, and you use the adhesion promoter, this stuff is tough. I did mine in 2018. It still looks great. I have to use a power washer on it a couple times a year and that's it. I would get a 6 bottle kit for your Jeep. The kicker is that once mixed you have an hour to spray and then have to wait 20 minutes between coats. You have to clean the gun immediately between bottles. I just dropped the tube into a can of acetone and sprayed it out good. I wasn't comfortable mixing multiple bottles at once. I wanted the consistency to be exact each spray. Also do not mess around with any N95. Get yourself a full mask with replaceable filters. Glasses and nitrile gloves. Watch your air hose. The stuff is like glue once sprayed on. DM me on X and I can offer some pics of my truck if interested. @Celty1795085
Very helpful video. Sorry if I missed it, but how big is your bed? I have a ram1500 short bed and was debating on whether or not 4 cans would get it done. Thanks for the video!
Hi Vincent. My Hilux is a longbed. Id say your short bed is probably wide so overall it may be similar. If you are in Australia then be prepared to be ripped off. In the U.S the cans retail in the $30s so much more affordable and convenient. I also think the kit does lay a tougher coat than the cans. Maybe because you can lay down more coats without worry about running out of cans. Glad you liked the video.
No idea to be honest. They do the job just here in Australia we get raped over price for many things. That was my main issue. In the USA they are less than half the price we pay.
Looks really nice to me. Much cheaper than getting a fully capable compressor and gun and paint. Still pretty costly but here in the USA 8 cans would run maybe $300 while a compressor, paint, and gun is going to be well over 1k. You can also reduce costs a bit by going 1k for the first coat then 2k after or vice versa (not sure which would be stronger honestly).
Damn... I wonder what the weight difference between the full can and an empty can is and then the $/per unit difference between the convenience of a can vs the roll-on vs the spray stuff is. It just seems insane that it takes 8 cans to do a truck bed.
8 cans totalling $704!!! Its only money! At prices like this you cant afford too many test sprays, each spray about $6. Thanks for the video, I was going to paint a trailer by spray can, now i will buy the 4 litre kit.
G'day, I've just stumbled onto your channel looking for Raptor reviews. Q. How have you found the can version since you applied it. How hard did it dry. Does it clean easily. I'm looking at doing the underside of my 63 beetle. ✌️ Peace
Hi Kevin. Thanks for the stumble. Hope you stick around on the channel. I have sold the Hilux so I can not really tell you much. I believe the spray gun kit is a better option and probably hardier because it is more affordable to layer up properly. Are you doing it for rust or as a tough protective layer mainly?
I would of used the can as touch up spots that I missed and just bought a gallon of raptor role on even buy a small air compressor and spraying it would of been way cheaper in the USA 150$ for the bed 300$ hole car paint job . Professional applied is still under 1000$ including price of spay gun and compressor. 🇺🇸⚒️👍👌✌️🥂⚒️🔧
Yeah and I was wrong Myles. I bought the cans months ago and forgot what they cost. The shock hit me when I needed double and realised they are $93 a can.

I am planning on doing a complete full-size truck so I will be spraying Raptor Liner after watching your video. Thanks for taking the time to post.

Yes we suffer a lot over pricing here. Maybe we should buy in Canada and sell in Australia??... hmmm

The truck was amazing. New owner loves it!
The results on camera look great! But watching your spraying technique and lack of degreasing was giving me anxiety haha
I did wipe down with wax and grease remover so do not stress.
Yup youre about the only one Ive seen using can only / Great video thanks Mate!
No problem 👍
The bed looks awesome! Great contrast between the yellow body!
Yeah it really pops
Maybe a plastic tuff deck next time Adam.Can’t believe the cost of those cans mate but great result all the same
I did think that and It had one Rob. But it was missing a piece. They are still expensive and I would of spent more on yellow paint as the bed still needed painting .
Thanks for making this video. I have learnt some things and I love the build!
Cheers Thomas. Glad to help.

Thanks its best to roll it on or buy a compressor and do it that way....
I assume the rattle can formula is slightly different than the spraygun 2 part mix.
No idea to be honest. They do the job just here in Australia we get raped over price for many things. That was my main issue. In the USA they are less than half the price we pay.
They sell kits for 4 bottles and a liner gun roughly 165 to 200 bucks the cans are touch up or smaller projects
Looks a lot better than before
I know right! Will be using the spray gun next time though.
Looks really nice to me. Much cheaper than getting a fully capable compressor and gun and paint. Still pretty costly but here in the USA 8 cans would run maybe $300 while a compressor, paint, and gun is going to be well over 1k.
You can also reduce costs a bit by going 1k for the first coat then 2k after or vice versa (not sure which would be stronger honestly).
Yeah I should of done like a base coat first. We get ripped off over here on things like this. Thanks for watching mate.
Damn... I wonder what the weight difference between the full can and an empty can is and then the $/per unit difference between the convenience of a can vs the roll-on vs the spray stuff is. It just seems insane that it takes 8 cans to do a truck bed.
Probably more designed for small areas not whole beds.
lol love the shaking of the cans
Hey Adam… as a concreter would you consider that coating ok to use for a wheelbarrow bed??
Not really mate. It would wear off in due course.
Nice Toyota Raptor
Im about to do the inside of my hilux tub to there $50 at Supercheap atm
That looks great!!
How much would it have cost to had it professionally done where your at?
Tbh probably cheaper. Never even considered that!
8 cans totalling $704!!! Its only money! At prices like this you cant afford too many test sprays, each spray about $6. Thanks for the video, I was going to paint a trailer by spray can, now i will buy the 4 litre kit.
Where are you located? In Australia they are super expensive (surprise) But very cheap in the USA. In comparison that is.
I have no clue where you have got your Cans at....but here in Holland those cans cost 17,95 in euros
That's the 1K version, the 2K used here is about 40 euros (65 AUD).
G'day,
I've just stumbled onto your channel looking for Raptor reviews.
Q. How have you found the can version since you applied it. How hard did it dry. Does it clean easily.
I'm looking at doing the underside of my 63 beetle.
✌️ Peace

@@FLIPMYRIDE
I'm hoping it's going to be a tough protective layer.
Maybe you can leave it warm enough for like 5 minutes and the warm water works better
Did you have to under coat? Or just a quick sand, clean then spray on. How’s it held up
U can if you want. I focused more on sanding for good bonding
@@FLIPMYRIDE cheers. I’m painting a speedway go kart chassis. So should work well and protect to

Yeah we do not get it that cheap here.
I love head depth
😉
I think it looks mint, but damn. For that price could have just bought a compressor and used the kit.
I hear ya mate!
You could have had it line x for that.
Been busy mate!
Just a little buddy. Hbu?
Shit thats pretty cheap in comparison.
Never stops mate.
For the price you paid you should of took it in to a shop & had them sprayed it in!!😮 oh well, we live & learn.!
of course its going to run if your shooting that close
It's $15 a can here in US...
Wow...yeah we get ripped off here.
@@FLIPMYRIDE not for the 2K it's not that cheap.
Did you say fifty odd bucks a can 😳
Yeah and I was wrong Myles. I bought the cans months ago and forgot what they cost. The shock hit me when I needed double and realised they are $93 a can.
@@FLIPMYRIDE oh wow. I was shocked thinking $50 was high!
£27 a can here in Uk.
@@mccarthymccarthy1 that way cheaper
20€ a can in romania
