RAPTOR LINED DURAMAX - TWO YEAR REVIEW AND ALL QUESTIONS ANSWERED 

The rag at 4:36 🤣😂💀

I would love to do this to my LLY!! Even if you spend $400 and do it yourself, it beats spending $4000-6000 on a new paint job! Keep doing the yearly updates. Cheers 🍻

Thank you for these updates. I had been very leery to apply Raptor liner to my vehicles due fading I had with Herculiner on a trailer several years ago. With seeing your updates, I worked up the courage to Raptor line my dump trailer a few weeks ago. It looks great soo far…

Been waiting for this! Wondered if you would do it? Thank you! This sold me... it is time to Raptor Line!

Awesome update brotha!! This is definitely the way I am going on my truck. Thank you 👍🏼🇺🇸👍🏼🇺🇸👍🏼🇺🇸

Thanks for doing this video. You answered every question I had about the Raptor liner. Time to get my body prepped and buy the kit. Thanks again.

I've been in the Coatings trade my entire life. Even as a Government Supervisor running 5 sections doing such. This is by far the best quality video on the process, application and follow-up I've seen. Excellent video. Excellent workmanship. Excellent information.

Great Update!

Thanks so much for the review. I'll be using it on my truck parts this spring. What a great solution for those black plastic parts that fade almost instantly in the sun.

My dad did this to his trailer about a year ago. It has held up great

Thanks for sharing the post 2 year update!

Love your videos brother. I just did my grille and bumpers. Turned out great! Thanks for the information.

Very clean!

Best video found when trying to decide if I want to make the leap with my truck

Thank you for making these videos. I've been really contemplating how to refinish my truck, between wrap and Plastidip and Raptor liner. I think I'm sold on the Raptor liner

Awesome video! Keep doing these, but i think you convinced me on color and raptor liner for a paint job

The more I learn about Raptor liner the more I like it. I would like to do that to my motor home lol. My favorite paint job for sure. 👍

This was by far one of the best detailed informative videos I've ever watched. Im definitely doing my 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 like this. Was sold after the (no ring scratch)

Great idea, I might use it on my utility trailer.

This truck looks beautiful I’d love to have the time to do up my 03 lb7 with some raptor liner

Looks sick. Waiting for thie next update.

I appreciate the information. I'm thinking about doing my 89 Ford

You have an awesome evenly sprayed Raptor lined finish! 👍

Thank you so much for this great video! I am about to rehab an old stock trailer and will be going this route - I appreciate you Sir! ;)

I have a 02 sequoia with a really ugly gold paint job and thinking about doing this to it. Thanks for all the tips!

Really appreciate the ongoing updates. These are really unprecedented after 1 year...you usually just see a before and after, and maybe a few months later. Your color is light and less prone to fading, but I wonder how a product like 303 would look/protect over time.

I just found your channel watching your a/c video. I never skip out on videos that i think im too advanced for cause you never know what you might get out of it, and sure enough i learned a bit from it. Great video. Anyhow. Our trucks literally match🤣 I have an 06 vin2 LBZ white 2500 with raceline wheels similar to yours. What headlights do you have on there?

Man thanks for this video. Happy to see the results being solid. I am currently painting my bronco half regular paint and the bottom half raptor. Seems easy but I’m going to tape off for lettering prior to using the raptor liner. Any thoughts on how hard it will be to keep the raptor from chipping around the letters. I’m skeptical but maybe if I use 80 grit around the lettering it’ll stick. My end result is have raptor liner with glossy letters within the paint job. What are your thoughts?

Just watched this, great review! I’m from a small town called franklin about 30 minutes from Dayton!

I watched the video when you did your bumbers out of a can yourself, made me do it just now, what a diffrence, crazy how you can jump on to you tube watch sum guy from a diffrent country do somthing then go do it yourself, love it, from scotland, thanks

Clicked for the title, noticed your channel name, immediately subscribed. Fuck yes.

Best thing I found to clean raptor liner is dawn dish soap it makes it look like you just sprayed it yesterday

Well done... I just subscribed to your channel. Heard about from your time on Josh's channel. Very impressive, very well done, your communication skills are great and I am hard to please as a retired teacher and many years of training in communication skills such as public speaking... so all that being said, I look forward to seeing what's next and following your channel. Not to mention that you completely sold me on the product.

looks awesome! what color tint and how much product did you use?

I have questions about prep around glass; windshield and doors. I also have questions about covering and coating plastic because my 2003 WJ has bumper covers that have some flex.

Truck master sent me here! Looks amazing bro!

you sold me .....Great video !!!! Raptor should sponsor you !!!!!

Good honest review...

Did two different trucks 2001 chevy and 1995 4Runner it stands up to abuse and it was definitely worth doing use my trucks for hunting always off road

Looks great. Can you also spray it with ceramic spray? Does that help with anti fading? Thinking of spraying the front part of a e450 box van overlander conversion. In a bright orange to go with our Screaming Tangerine theme. Lower part around the box will be black. This will be a promo beach rig for a documentary. Do you think with the prep will stand up against constant salt mist and sand from going near the beaches of Florida?

Do you think it would hold up to the door handles? I like the look of the entire truck paint matched and thought about doing my LB7 like this.

G'Day from Australia. Thinking about painting a Campervan with this. Was planning of doing the door jams as it will be a colour change. Whats your opinion on how the door seals will go up against the raptor liner finish?

My wife and I are also totally satisfied Raptor users who wholeheartedly recommend this product. A year ago we "bed lined" our newly acquired 1995 Dodge Ram 3500 extended van. As you stressed, the preparation requires considerably more time and effort than the actual application process. And, since we were undertaking the project entirely outdoors, we had to wait for the right weather conditions (temperature, precipitation, wind) to occur prior painting the prepped vehicle. (Additionally, although less exacting, the temperature and precipitation conditions must be factored in to accommodate the recommended 72-hour curing process.) Nevertheless, we could not be more pleased with the return on our investment. The Raptor's appearance, texture and durability exceeds our expectations. To be honest, we still experience a sense of surprised self congratulation every time we look at our now dove grey, turtle-topped former ugly ducking of a wheelchair transporter. So, from our perspective, even if you are a total automobile painting novice, you should not be intimidated; buy, beg, borrow or rent an air compressor and go for it! You just have to be a conscientious novice willing to follow simple directions like the ones in this video. 😂

The Goat Thank U

What kind of cloths do you use I noticed that a microfiber catches when wiping not good to use and is there a toolbox cleaning product that I can use as well for the raptor bed liner. Thanks

I would love to raptor line my rough country aftermarket bumper on my 2016 Silverado 1500. There powder coat sucks so bad and already started rusting a year later. Should I sand the powder coat off first and if so what grit sand paper? I love this stuff. Hope I’m able to do that.

I was looking at using this on a 30-40yr old rolling tool box. Thoughts or suggestions on the best way to apply it? Think the 1k aerosol would be sufficient or the 2k necessary? price difference is enormous

Awesome, would love someday to be able to shoot my LBZ DUALLY in that same color, but mine is needing some rocker and rear fender work before I get to do it. Great update thanks for sharing!

I was very confused for a moment @4:37 of what was dangling beside your leg 😂.

good info thanks

Hi Rusbelt, nice looking truck! I am getting ready to my truck like with R/L, I noticed you took off the door moldings, were they just glued on? I want to take mine off as well. Thanks!

Hey, I have a question that I can’t seem to find the answer to anywhere. I have a vehicle that had bed liner sprayed on it before. They did kind of a crappy job and I want to redo it. Would it be possible to the redo the bed liner? If so, what process would you recommend? Would I try to remove as much of the old liner first?

Only reason I went Linex is when my paint started failing I did not have a garage. I love the Linex, but you are correct, if you have a garage and a compressor, Raptor is the most economical method that will actually give professional results. My S10 will be getting Raptor as I now have a garage and compressor.

so my question is my truck is pxr brilliant black would it be worth it to do color match or just do it black

What minimum size air compressor would you recommend using?

Can you fix the chipping easy enough?

Did they use a hvlp gun or the gun that came in the kit?

Just had mine done in Emerald Green. By an actual paint shop. Came out absolutely gorgeous.

What spacers you have on the rear? I got 2inch but still doesn’t meet with the front.

Can you use ceramic coating on it if you wanted to ?

Have you tried to touch up/patch/over spray any thing yet? Just curious how it looks if you have to fix say a rock trip later?

Did you spray this yourself outside or have it done in a booth?

Thinking about applying this to my chrome bumpers and running boards on my f150. Have you had any with spraying over the chrome on your bumpers?

I have a 1995 f-250 that’s banged up and I’m probably going to raptor line it soon and I’m undecided on the color. Any ideas on what colors would look nice on the old 7.3?

How were your Emblems applied ? Did you Paint around them ? Or were they applied after the paint. Trying to figure out how to add new emblem badges and put them on before or after as I'm concerned how to make them stick after paint.

Does anyone know how a patch job turns out. For example if a small chip happens can you just spray more on it and how does it blend in?

Will it benefit me to purchase a cheap blaster from Harbor Freight, $130, and blast all tight spots?

How many kits did it take?

How many kits do I need to do the same truck as yours?

Is this Pewter metallic? Upon told me to leave the metallic out of it when they mixed the color

Can you post a link to the lights on your truck? I'm also looking to refresh a 2006

Another great job! Looks great & seems durable. I'm looking to do - (still deciding on Raptor or Monstaliner). Prep IS key! Very informative & interesting to see, your vids are Always top notch! Looking forward to MORE! Take care\stay safe & Mopar 2 Ya! cheers

Can you change the color afterward?

I am going to raptor line my 2000 excursion. Any idea who many cans I will need? I emailed Raptor and they never responded. Cant find a chart anywhere online. Any suggestions?

How many cans did it take to do your truck

Awesome!!..now how are your Duramax hood emblems and door Vent shades holding up? Did you stick it on or raptor lined around it?

Very informative, from ohio as well

How did you get the hood badge to stick on the raptor liner?

Ok, so how does this process work on a chevy with the shit primer and half the hood paint is peeled of completely?

How many kits did it take to do the truck? I know in the original video you said you bought 3 kits.

What if i finish the Paptor bottles and still not complete the whole vehicle? lets say i wait for a whole month to get more Raptor to finish the layering. Would it stay on over the the previous layer and come out fine?

One more question. What tint did u use. I'm trying to order one now . ?

Howes it holding up after 4 years? Great review!

I have a double cab dodge ram 2500 and I wanted to paint it raptor gray, but dark, would it be possible to paint a gray metallic tint on it even when it is wet to have a metallic finish? there I saw that comment on amazom a buyer who painted it blue, and well wanted to know if it could be done. the other if I paint dark gray, should I prime the entire truck gray as well?

Would you recommend using adhesion promoter on a off-road bumper that's already been freshly sandblasted?

I’m raptor lineing my 96 ford today

Why do you use the thinner ?? Why not just spray it way it is ??

What color did you used

I didn’t know it came in aerosol bumper plastics are going white! I can’t believe it’s been over 2.5 years that’s crazy I remember watching when you did this

2004 step side bed with plastic outer sides. Will it stick or fall off?

So I have a question for you!! I own a 2004 Silverado crew cab it's only a 1/2 ton, but it is my baby. I recently I have discovered a hole under the driver side front Fender underneath the main fuse block… I have patched the hole top and bottom side to keep moisture from entering the engine compartment. I have noticed this is a common spot for these fenders to rust out. I live in Michigan just North of you and I also live in the rust belt. My question to you is did you do the underside of your fenders with this product as well. You would have had to pull the inner Fender(plastic),to Achieve complete coverage. If you did not are you experiencing the same rust problem? I am strongly consider raptor lining my front and rear bumper as I have just replaced them at a cost of close to $700... ( me doing the labor) Also was considering replacing all my brake lines with a stainless steel kit, my mechanic buddy told me be better to use nickel copper because it's easier to bend and manipulate. ( your thoughts)However the stainless steel kit comes prebent. And of course if I'm doing the brake lines I'm going to replace all the brake hoses at the same time, it just makes sense. I have gone through and replaced all 4 calipers and completely bled the system. Just curious with having the same truck but yours being a 3/4 ton and a diesel and living in the rust belt,how You are dealing with the very common problems we all deal with living in the rust belt. Just went through and completely rebuilt the front end with new suspension. It is so tough to try to keep these rust free in Michigan.. I truly do like the look of your truck and it shows pride in ownership. Thank you for the video and thank you advance for your response.

Did you just tint the liner material or did you also apply a clearcoat after you sprayed the raptor liner

Wouldn't it get dirty quick and easy and hold the dust and dirt, maybe not squirt off as easy, I have a Hiace van, the high roof and it cops the brunt of the weather and bird crap and I was thinking about this maybe thinned a bit so there isn't quite as much texture. I like how tough it is because the van being so high often gets trees scuffing on the roof somewhere.

Great stuff. Very nice. Did you Raptor line your door handles on this Silverado? I have an Avalanche that I am looking at the handles. They are faded and wipe on stuff only shines them up for a short amount of time.

You should check out Speedtex Europe.

What color is this?

How did you get the Color changing in it

What’s your color code?

I’m doin this for sure on my LBZ! Would it work on rims?

It’s cheaper because it’s not warranties for life 👍 linex you take it in and it get fixed as long as you own the vehicle
