Product Information

Yes, Raptor can be baked at 60c for 30 minutes. This will speed up the initial drying but will not reduce curing time; the finish should not be subjected to heavy use for 7 days and should be kept clean and dry for 72 hours. We wanted a really fine sandpaper look and it turns out, it was probably too fine. Raptor paint is meant to flog out of the gun, but in our case, it didn’t spray out of the gun the way that it is designed to. Why did the raptor paint fail?

Even though it needs a respray, it still a far less expensive option to paint and protect your vehicle from the elements. And when done right, it looks amazing. It’s also a pretty awesome achievement to do it yourself. Up to 10% solvent-based automotive paint can be added to Raptor Tintable products. Flat colours are recommended rather than metallics. Some acrylic basecoats can have a high colour strength, so less than 10% tint will be needed. Raptor must not be moxed with water based, polyester or enamel paints. Where possible, ask your paint supplier to leave out the binders for best pigment quality. Next step is mentally preparing ourselves for the fact that the rest of the vehicle needs to be resprayed. This will involve: Developed to tolerate most climatic conditions, it is UV resistant and won’t fade or ‘chalk’ in sunlight. Raptor is waterproof and will protect surfaces from rust. This makes it perfect for exposed surfaces and even surfaces submerged in water, including salt water.

RAPTOR is a highly durable protective coating that ensures protection against mechanical damage, fuels, hydraulic oils, rust, corrosion, salt water, damp, extreme temperatures and off-road muddy good fun. Our paint job was full of scratches and was so porous that we were unable to clean off spilt car polish from the bull bar. Adam had used a foam polishing disc with a plastic polish to tidy up our head lights. A little polish spilled onto the raptor coated bull bar and it was like the polish had absorbed into the paintwork. It couldn’t be sufficiently cleaned and ended up staining the bull bar permanently. After spending 50+ hours repairing all the damaged panel work on the car, it was time to begin the next stage of preparation. It took an agonising long time, we were really excited to get to the fun part – the spray job. We mixed the tintable raptor coat, automotive tint and hardener together and cleaned the spray gun between each bottle. This was all executed perfectly. Buzzweld is proud to bring you a fully approved and tested platform to tint your Upol Raptor Bedliner products,and more.

Unfortunately, Adam can’t exactly recall how many turns of the nozzle, but it might not have been enough. Drastically reduced product requirement when using Buzzweld Quora tints to remove opacity prevalent when using many other tint systems.

When applying with a roller, use a fine roller for a smooth finish or a textured roller for a textured finish. When spraying, a higher PSI gives a smoother finish. As with any type of paint, proper preparation and testing is vital to achieve the desired result. The air pressure was set at 55psi. The professional spray gun has an adjustable nozzle which enables complete control over the volume of paint flow. This was probably set too fine.

Different products have different effects on colours, so a basecoat, will not match a raptor tint perfectly. expect some deviation between different products once tinted. Finding the space – we don’t have our own garage and air compressor, so we need to borrow the space again.
