Spent the weekend doing some painting…

It’s Raptor liner (non-aerosol kind) and it’s BLACK its got a semi gloss finish so it appears more grey in the photos. Was pretty easy to apply and came out looking good but as always with paint stuff, prep work is 99% of the time and effort. This afternoon is the 3 day mark (you’re supposed to avoid water exposure for the first 72 hours) so I may start reassembling but Friday is more likely.What did you use? I really like how that looks.
Is it BLACK or more toward grey?
Get some pix up when all done!
Prep:Thanks for the uber fast reply!
Couple more questions to bug ya with:
Prep- did you do the usual degrease, sand etc? Or anything special?
Liner- is this the roll on type? How did you apply? Where bought? How much needed? Will it touch up ok ya think?
Thanks again for the info. I’m hopefully going to spruce up my ‘10 soon and finalizing what to actually use for the project.
I bet yours is gonna look damn good.
Anytime! I’m impressed by it. If/when the paint on my X fails I plan on spraying the entire thing in this stuff.Appreciate all the deets, thanks tons.
Did some research today and this stuff is definitely legit.
Thanks! I was worried black would contrast too much but I think it plays. Just gotta figure out how I want to handle the roof rack and wet box. I’d spray it with the raptor liner but I know there are going to be spun rivnuts and that’s a whole new world of pain.Hells yes!
Lookin GOOD.![]()
Touché. Since the rack is up so high I don’t notice it nearly as much though. If it weren’t for the rivnuts I’d use bedliner on the rack as well but I’m not touching those stupid rivnuts. 75% of my air dam ones were spun so I expect the same result elsewhere./\ Thats my issue with the plastics, and why I haven't done anything to the bumpers. Even if faded, at least they match the roof stuff.
Because that stupid air dam is made out of unobtainium if I mess it up lol.Why not just tape it all off and spray it as is?
Thanks! It really is such a great platform and great vehicle. I wish it got a bit better gas mileage but these are the cards we were dealt.Great build!! I'm enjoying this thread.
