There are a lot of ways to make the top of your 6G Bronco white, in this video we do one with PlastiDip and one with Raptor liner to compare the process and results.
@@leonardzeiler7417 for the PlastiDip I decided to leave it on because I know how easy it is to remove the over spray when you are done. If I was shooting Raptor liner or paint I would absolutely take the top off to avoid over spray.
The dip isn't going to do anything other than the color being a bit more reflective, since it is the thickness of a balloon there is really no thermal barrier there. The raptor liner may give a bit because it is considerably thicker, but if you are specifically looking for a thermal barrier I would shoot lizard skin as a base coat or on the inside of the panels.
I'm the owner of the Green Bronco that he sprayed the Raptor liner on. I've been offroading a few times since he sprayed the top. I've had sticks run all across the top and none of the Raptor liner has come off, scratched, peeled, etc. It still looks exactly like it did when he sprayed it! Also, if mud or bird poop gets on it, just use your favorite cleaner and a little elbow grease and it'll come off rather easy/quickly! I'm happy with my decision of using the Raptor liner :)
When you're describing a dusting coat vs. a later thicker coat, is that determined by the length of time spraying the area or is it coat after coat of light dusting to build a thicker coat?
So, a dust coat on the raptor liner is a final coat shot from higher up to try to get a smoother effect. You waste a ton of product but it can help smooth, or you can shoot the whole thing at a lower pressure. The dust coat on the PlastDip is the initial coat that is sprayed light and fast to get a light base before going on the heavier coats.
LOL! To each his own bud... Ford even makes the Heritage Edition, that comes with White accents and they're selling super fast. I personally think mine looks better with the White top, over the stock Grey top, especially in the Eruption Green, but it's not yours, so it doesn't matter ;)
