Raptor Lining My ENTIRE Jeep (and everything in between) 

Sorry for the late reply, but I can't thank you enough for the kind words! I'm hoping to release more content on a regular basis soon as I look for a shop, but in the meantime I'm doing my best to get more videos out there and comments like these keep me going. 👊

That means so much to me! I was in your seat before watching every video prior to lining my Jeep. I will have another video out that, in my opinion, is of higher quality and better done. It will show any information I missed while filming this and works hand in hand. Thanks for watching and I look forward to hearing what you think about the next video!

I’m happy to hear! I hope you enjoyed watching and got something out of it. As always, let me know if you have any questions and I’d be happy to help! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment as well 🙌

Right on, happy to hear! Let me know if I can be of any other help and let me know how your project goes!

Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to comment and watch the video.

I'm glad, take your time and it will be well worth the work!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Well thank you so much! I’m glad you found enjoyment in this even if you don’t plan on doing anything similar anytime soon. I’m really flattered you even took the time to comment and I can’t thank you enough for all of the kind words. I can say that I do have another Raptor line video coming out shortly as well, so if you enjoyed this, I really think you’ll enjoy the next one too! Once again, thank you so much for watching and commenting. Enjoy the holidays and stay safe!

@@MyJeepStory Really enjoy the rest of your videos as well. Found a new favorite channel to watch and make me look forward to owning a jeep sometime in the future. Seriously, your video quality and the amount of effort you put in your videos is beyond next level stuff. Can't wait for future content! :) Happy holidays!

@@Lambert-hr7sm as mentioned before, I'm beyond flattered and I cannot thank you enough for the kind words. That being said, you have my word that there will be more content out there soon and we'll make sure to find a way to hit the trails together the day you find yourself in a Jeep or any off-road rig. Things have been so busy for everyone, myself included, this year and I really look forward to the calm after the storm where we can all take a breath and get back to things as they used to be. For now, I sincerely wish you and your family a happy and safe holiday. Thanks again, you're support keeps me going!

Melford, I can’t thank you enough!!! As I grow and learn what people enjoy watching, it’s clear that cutting out unnecessary bits is the way to go and I do my best to keep things to what people came to the video for in the first place. I appreciate you checking the video out and taking the time to comment, I take a lot of pride in these videos and it makes my day to hear it’s helping people out. I’m always here to answer questions you may have while you Raptor your rig or feel free to DM me on Facebook or Instagram. I also made a new Raptor video that includes updated tips from Raptor Lining vehicles over the years. I’d love to get your input!

It means a lot that you've been here since the start, that first video was filmed on an old phone and I was so nervous. I have so much going on now with school ending and moving, but I'd really like to start getting more content out, but all in good time. Like I said, thanks a lot for not only watching but taking the time to say so. 🙏

@@MyJeepStory All good man you went above and beyond and it showed.....I just watched the chassis saver vid yesterday too (showed up on my main page)....then watched a few more of your vids that I found interesting then subscribed. You should really be getting more views as I said. Keep up the good work when you have the time!

I’ll bring more content soon and you’ll have to let me know what you think! I have a few lined up I’m excited to get out including Raptor Lining a brand new Gladiator! Again, I really do appreciate you and I look forward to getting more content out.

Thank you so much 🙏

Of course! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Let me know if you end up doing your Rover and I'd love to hear how it goes. Please let me know if I can help in any way and check out my next release this Saturday, Feb 20, at 2:00pm EST to see my next Raptor Project! This one is even better! 👍 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jkSbwAeVNzU.html

I say go for it! Doing it is extremely rewarding and I highly recommend Raptor for anyone looking to get a bad ass coating that is extremely forgiving when applying, but also is extremely durable. New uploads on my channel begin today at 12:00pm EST and in two weeks from today, I'll have my next Raptor video out where I line an entire brand new Gladiator JT!

I cannot thank you enough for your kind words! It means so much to me that you were able to enjoy the video and that you took the time to comment in as well. Thanks again and greetings from the states as well!

Thank you! Cheers!

Well I really appreciate that! I put a ton of time and effort into making this, so I’m happy to see so many people benefiting from it. Let me know if I can help any further with your upcoming project and keep an eye out on my channel next week when I’ll be uploading another Raptor video. I’ll be lining a brand new Jeep Gladiator and I’ll cover some things I missed in this video like door jambs and disassembly for example. Thanks again and happy holidays!

@@MyJeepStory Ive painted 3 different entire 4 wheel drives with bedliner but i always used the rattle cans. The first vehicle was a 89 bronco 2 and i used the rustoleum bed liner in the rattle cans that sprays out like water and runs which looks like shit but believe it or not the rattle can bedliner Krylon makes delivered a finish close to the quality of the raptor liner you sprayed...... I painted a 88 jeep comanche with the krylon and it looked good but i probably used 30+ cans at 10$ a pop plus it took hours upon hours lol I figured id try it your way next time and save some time.

Yeah in the end, it makes a ton of sense to use Raptor. For one, it’s a two part paint as I’m sure you know and it becomes ten times more durable than anything out of a rattle can. It sounds like you’ve put a ton of effort into your rigs and you’ll get a lot more out of your work using something like Raptor in terms of finish, but also durability. 🤙 Keep up the great work and let me know how the next project goes!

@@MyJeepStory to be honest i buy fix and flip vehicles and I started using the bedliner because it covers up quick body work fixes (bondo fixes to be exact) pretty good but i started to like the rugged look so if i was fixing up a 4×4 i just started painting the entire vehicle with the liner. After seeing how good they can turn out if you get the paint sanded down good enough i decided to do my own 4wd with liner. My son saw how good the comanche turned out he started bugging me to paint his truck with it lol I tried the rustoleum roll on bedliner today and got as far as the hood before i quit and started looking for quality spray on liner.......Then i came across your video and I was convinced that Raptor is the way to go! I think im going to use black on his and maybe the grey or silver on mine. Thanks again for the video....Plus i watched your "5 mistakes you made video" and learned alot from it as well.

One more comment and ill try to keep it short as its more of a question. How many of the quart or litre size cans did you use on your jeep? My blazer is a 2 door and the back half is mostly glass so im wondering if the kit with 8 cans will be enough?

I really appreciate it, thank you for taking the time to not only watch, but comment as well.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to not only watch but comment as well. I have a new Raptor video coming out soon where I Raptor Line an entire brand new Jeep Gladiator JT, but in the meantime, please let me know if there are any questions that I may answer for you. Thanks again and have a great day 👍

Im happy to hear, thanks for watching and commenting in as well! 👍

Glad you liked it!

Any time!

Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Thank you! Cheers!

Awesome, glad you found it and thanks for watching!

Ayy thanks, Rico! 🙏

Thanks, Joshua!

It's got that random how-to vibe you get stuck watching at 3:00AM 😎

Let me know how it goes and if you need any help.

@@MyJeepStory just did the first coat, took 6 bottles, have 6 more. Had my psi between 60-80 but the texture isn't super fine, I also applied too much to some areas on accident making it more smoothish, but that's alright. For the last coat your suppose to sort of "dust" the whole vehicle right? Holding the gun farther away, making it more matte

@@MyJeepStory finished the truck the same day, it looks really good.

I appreciate it 🤙

Thanks! You too!

Good luck and let me know how it goes!

I appreciate it, Peter!

Hell yeah, Raptor is definitely an awesome product sprayed right and it sounds like you did just that! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 🙏

Thank you so much! I definitely wanted to make sure I set a good example for anyone who wanted to do this and made sure no details were skipped! I have a video coming out very soon covering the Raptor lining of a brand new Gladiator and I’ll be covering some questions I missed in this video as well. 👍

@@MyJeepStory looking forward to watch the gladiator video. Also I forget to asked you about the type/size of compressor you used?

@@rd4501 I go over the details of what compressor works in the next video, but the exact model I used was the Industrial Air ila1883054! It's 155PSI max, 7.0 CFM @ 40 PSI and 5.7 CFM at 90 PSI. I hope this helps!

I'm sorry for the delay in response! I've just finished my second move and have finally settled in and have the time to answer some comments. I spent so much time making this video from filming to editing and I can say that it's always worth it when I get comments like these. The Raptor has held up really well and it has been applied on the Jeep for over two years with no issues aside from some peeling on the chrome door trim where the lettering is clearly because I didn't sand in them. Otherwise, I have taken the Jeep down tight trails with branches scraping them and there have been no instances of chipping or peeling anywhere and where I applied it to the lower part of the rocker panels, the salt has had no effect on it! There has been no fading or anything like that either. I also want to mention that on February 20th, I'll have an upload premiering where I Raptor an entire Gladiator JT, so that should also give you some additional tips and a look at another project I did. I'm excited to see what you think of that and in the meantime, please let me know if there's any other questions I may answer in preparation for your project! Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Thank you very much!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you so much! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you get your Jeep to that point. 👍

I have a 98 ZJ that I was thinking of doing the same thing too after I get it road worthy this summer. Looks great by the way.

I appreciate it!

I often times see these steps flipped one way or another, but I think in the future I'd er the side of doing the body work under the primer. You'll see this is quite the debate online, but I would again advise doing the method you mentioned looking back. Thanks for the tip and taking the time to comment!

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 🙏

@@MyJeepStory will use it as a guide to paint my humvee

I'm here to help and I'm glad you found value in watching my videos! Raptor is a great option in many regards from pricing to the level of forgiveness it offers to inexperienced sprayers. I'll be releasing another Raptor video in the coming weeks where I line a brand new Gladiator JT and in that video, I answer a lot of commonly asked questions that I missed in this video. That being said, feel free to ask away here in the meantime and I'll answer everything that I can! 1: Different levels of gloss can be achieved with different textures. While it won't literally be glossy, the way it reflects light causes a sparkle in a way depending on the texture. You can achieve different textures by adjusting the PSI, distance, and most importantly, by using the professional Vari-Nozzle gun. I'd take a look at what's out there and see what settings others have used to get the finish you're looking for. You can also add a clear on top of Raptor, but that's often said to defeat the purpose. Raptor is 100% UV stable and will not fade either. 2: You can absolutely thin Raptor and you must do so if you plan on shooting it with an HVLP gun as advised by U-POL themselves. I can't recall the compatible thinner at the moment, but I know it's mentioned on their MSDS available on the Raptor site. 3: Cleaning is beyond simple and the paint can be power washed and look like new again! I personally use a foam gun and a wash & wax from Adams Polishes on my finish. 4: Naturally Raptor will last plenty longer than standard finishes. This is because not only is it a two-part paint, but it's MUCH thicker than standard paints. Durability is usually a function of the thickness of the paint (assuming proper adhesion) and Raptor takes the cake! Apply two coats followed by a drop coat (covered in my next video) and you'll be good to go for YEARS. Repairs are so easy with minimal blending needed as well, but remember, prep is key! I hope this helps! Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thank you kindly for taking the time to explain all of that, sounds very logical. I am looking forward to your upcoming video! Blessings!

Hahahaha you got that right! I hope you enjoyed the video and I posted another Raptor video covering how I lined a brand new Jeep Gladiator. Let me know what you think if you get the chance and I’m happy to hear another Grand owner in the comments!

So it once and do it right! Thanks for watching 🤙

Couldn't agree more!

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment! I think for a vehicle like yours, wrapping it would be awesome to keep the clean look, but the Raptor would add a unique and rugged look. It's not conventional and sure to turn heads! I do admit, I love this rig and I understand your love for yours! 🙌

Thank you so much! I appreciate you not only watching, but taking the time to comment! Happy holidays and thanks again!

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

@@MyJeepStory that’s some good editing 💯

@@MyJeepStory how much?

@@jackwillis2245 how much what?

@@MyJeepStory $

Sorry for the delay and thank you for the kind words! As for the epoxy primer, it's only available in a gallon, so I'd just purchase that for $150 and that way, you'll ensure you have enough. I went through about half of a gallon doing two coats on the entire Jeep as well as everything else that I primed. For a compressor, a 6 HP compressor that generates 150 PSI line pressure should provide sufficient air supply, but is dependent on the application equipment/gun. I'm using a 30 gallon from Industrial Air and I've never had any issues! I hope this information helps, please let me know if there's anything else that I may do! Thanks for watching and happy holidays!

Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment in as well!

I always suggest masking off areas underneath and behind panels/trim/handles so that when it comes time to reattach, the threaded holes arent obstructed, retaining clips dont need to be replaced, and you leave some raw surfaces for mounting tapes to adhere to
