What did you do for the prep.... I had a guy spray in the stuff you buy at the auto parts. As soon as I hit it with a pressure washer, it all came up

Thanks! I used a 3m scuff pad on the whole thing. Then denatured alcohol right before I sprayed it.

Thumbs up Re: DIY Raptor Spray in bedliner

Wow. it ended up looking really nice. BTW, which color is your truck? It looks a lot like my 74 project's code PY5, from a 12 Wrangler.

I wish I knew the color code, I need some touch up paint. It was painted when I got it.

Re: DIY Raptor Spray in bedliner

I have this kit waiting to spray in. What size compressor did you use to spray it?

Re: DIY Raptor Spray in bedliner

I just have a 200$ harbor freight compressor, I shot it at about 60psi. I also put a water filter on the line, if you have any moisture I would recommend this.

Looks really good. I like that you didn't go over the lips around the box.

Re: DIY Raptor Spray in bedliner

Thanks! Also I was able to take my tailgate off and spray that whole area up to where the quarters wrap around, so I had really nice lines to use.

Re: DIY Raptor Spray in bedliner

the raptor liner is very durable, i generally spray it in around 51-55psi. good prep work is the key. if the surface is really bad, hit it with 80 grit instead of the 3m pad.

looks like you did a really nice job!

Re: DIY Raptor Spray in bedliner

How much did you have to use to do the whole bed? I am looking at a kit on Amazon with the gun plus everything you need and it comes with 4 750 ml of base. I was wondering how far that would go. I am wanting to do the inside of a blazer but don't want to run out and have to order more. I would say it would take more than that bed, but not much more? Thanks

6 would do it, but it's just cheaper to buy 2 complete 4 bottle kits from tptools.com

then you have some extra for touch ups or to do your rockers.
