With so many "do it yourselfers" finding out how great RAPTOR® Liner is, we would love to see what you have been up to. Email us some before and after shots with a little explanation of what your plan was and how it turned out. We know that Raptor Liner was intended for pick up truck beds but somehow it has found itself sleeping around. Raptor is now being used for more things outside the box than inside. We would love to share your experience with our great product.

My daughter saw a new 2020 White SAHARA JLU... both my son and I have 07's that we love and drive all the time. I said I would get her one and sell her existing 08 Honda Element... after looking for a couple months, stumbled onto this 2008 Sahara with 200,000kms... Price was right... $8000... had some work cut out for both her and I... took about a week to remove the super thin black Plasti Dip that was sprayed on it. Then fix some typical JEEP body rust areas.. Scuffed up, then Raptored in my carport... She loves it... Bestop Sunrider, Bartact Seat covers, new used Smittybuilt bumpers, rear door hinges and MOPAR LED lights... Man o Man!!! She absolutely loves it.. turned out great... Used the PRO Vari Tip GUN, opened the nozzle 2 rotations from closed and shot at 50 PSI... took just under 2 - WHITE 4L kits...  LOVE the product and the way it turned out!!!

neil's gun metal grey hummer h2

My 2006 Hummer H2 was in need of a serious paint job. The original color is Pewter which is a grey/silver. I researched a lot about the use of bedliner products and ultimately decided to use Raptor Liner which I found to be the best solution for a complete vehicle covering.
I watched a lot of videos on how to apply the Raptor Liner myself and was comfortable being able to complete this project myself.
It was a laborious task but much enjoyment came from removing all the necessary parts of the truck in order to apply the Raptor Liner product properly. What an absolute joy it is to drive this truck now. Feels like a brand new vehicle.
Thanks Chris for the Raptor Liner and mixing the Gun Metal Grey into all the bottles for me so all I had to do was add the hardener and shoot.

Great product and great results on my 2009 Ford King Ranch.   If you take the time to do the right prep, the outcome is amazing.  People who knew what I was doing were hesitant, after the paint job they turned into believers.  Already had 2 neighbors pop over and ask about my new truck.  When they found out it was only a paint job they were amazed. 
 6 days to prep, 1 day to paint, 3 days to cure.
 Thanks,
 Darin

I purchased a couple of Raptor Bed Liner kits from you last November to cover my Extreme Off Grid Camping Pod.  I built it with 1/2" marine grade plywood, sealed the joints with epoxy then covered it all with Raptor Bed Liner in the orange colour.  It turned out amazing,  Many thanks for your great customer service and quick delivery time.  I have attached a photo of the "The Pod" in case you are interested to see the result.
Cheers. Mike

DIMITRI IN QUEBEC

Wanted to do something to stand out... chose Toyota Tundra colour Quicksand code: 4V6... love that colour...
Process:
1. sand all services with 180 greed paper
2. Cover all bare metal with U Poll #8 acid primer. 
3. Sprayed Raptor tinted with colour + hardener and I added 8 ounces of Urethane reducer for each bottle.  The reducer worked great for spraying using an HVLP gun (2mm nozzle at 70 psi pressure. 
Love how it turned out!!!

Dimitri's next project... his sequoia

Dimitri loved how well his Semi turned out, he rescued his Toyota Sequoia... Another Toyota Tundra Quicksand color Code: 4V6... what a beauty and what a pair of Raptor Projects!!!!
Way to go Dimitri!!!

How do you freshen up a 2007 Jeep JK with only 100K on it? You Raptor it and it transforms into a cool new ride that anyone would be proud to drive. We shot the body but not the fender flares... left them stock. Love how it turned out!!!

RYAN IN ONTARIO

I am very satisfied with the turnout! Very easy to apply and prep, very good instructions product looks very durable and a nice hard finish that looks very resistant.  I bought the tintable raptor in the 8L kit, also purchased the professional application spray gun and had the right amount to do 2 coats on my truck.  The colour is called gun metal grey (S4530), I get lots of people looking at me when I drive by and get many compliments and comments on the product and the finish.  I am a very satisfied customer and I am recommending to many people.  Thank you raptor liner! Making my truck look new again and a very durable coating! Thought I’d share some pictures with you guys!

daniel in ontario

Raptor was super simple to use first time I used it i sprayed my hole truck in the black Raptor liner then I wanted something different that no one had so I decided to go with the Raptor tintable in Ruby Red .
Only thing to do is pretty much sand with a 80-180 grit sandpaper and make sure everything is nicely tapped off. Love how it turned out!

graham in alberta

Looks great.  Matches truck well.   Actually in the water the raptor liner seems to shed water.  Usually after a day on the water you get a water line film.   But the liner coating seemed to shed the water well.  Nice product.

Complete paint job on two tones.  This truck was on it’s way to the junker.  Took me 6 months to get it back on the road.  Lots of body work, engine, brakes and suspension all done...  but the result on the paint job is by far my favourite part of all.
I get plenty of compliments on it.
First we painted the light grey light color first. Regular painter tape (blue). We left it to dry a couple of hours before removing the tape. Masked and painted the dark colour 24 hours after. We took advantage of the lines of the truck to paint the colour lines. Originally I was going to paint the bumpers, but I am upgrading the wheels and the new wheels will be chrome, so I left those alone. The cap is also painted with Raptor and the steps got painted as well. 
The front grill got removed and painted separate. I got help from a professional painter in order to pull the masking and dual color to a perfection but it was still a garage project.   So far I love it. Specially after running the truck in the car wash.  The truck looks really super duty with that paint job.

So I bought this 2002 Jeep as a COVID project and it had some bad rust areas. I was a little concerned about doing the body work and how the final paint would look. After doing some research I came across the Raptor Liner product and loved the look. I watched several videos on the product and after making a call to Chris and speaking with him I was sold.  I bought the 4 litre tintable kit which came with the spray gun. I decided to go with sarge green. I ordered on a Thursday and had it in my hands on Saturday, during the Christmas rush I was very impressed. It came to spray day and it went on amazingly and I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. I have had a couple of neighbours already come and check it out and agree it looks amazing.
I am now looking at spraying my sons Liberty. 
If I do it again I may opt to buy the variable spray gun just because I plan on spraying our aluminum boat at the lake.
If you anyone has questions feel free to reach out, I was very nervous about doing that project and now I can’t wait for the next one.

Restored this 2003 Jeep TJ For a customer that was in desperate need of restoration as everybody panel needed work. Fabricated all the new panels and did the body work making it straighter than factory and coated with Raptor with Sarge Green tint which is the anniversary colour for Jeep. (Jeep 2016  75th anniversary colour is called Sarge Green PGG)
 
Applying the product was a breeze , but of course an experienced installer like myself sure helped with the finish. I used the professional vari tip gun and had great results. This product is a must if you want a durable finish and your auto to last a real long time. Chris and his staff are excellent to deal with.

FLATTERY - SHERP uses raptor exclusively
The SHERP is by far one of the world's best amphibious vehicles. It can go virtually anywhere in comfort.
With that ability comes the wear and tear of the different environments it goes into whether plus 40 or minus 40. SHERP uses RAPTOR to coat and cover its exterior and interior knowing it will be in places that will push our coating to it's limits and even beyond.

john from last chance auto restore in Ontario

The 2 tone line is perfect. We used 3M Premium masking tape, waited 1 day for the Green to dry before masking it.
We treated it exactly the same as a base coat clear coat paint job. We sprayed 2 coats of both green and black. They match perfectly. 
I thought we would have to vinyl a pin where the two colours meet, but not needed.

John from ontario's 2005 beige vw jetta

My 2005 VW JETTA rocker panels joining front fender where rotten had to build up with metal body fill. New fenders and a used front bumper. Rust all over patched up. I wanted a two tone old Rolls Royce wedding car look but I did get to paint wheels white... lol. So proud of how it turned out and love how easy it is to touch up if I want to fix my rushed paint job. 400K kms looking for more. Thanks to all the raptor community for my new favorite way to paint.

NEW JLU - NOW THAT'S CONFIDENCE IN RAPTOR

What can we say... RAPTOR is a great product... obviously not just for restorations...
this 2019 Jeep JLU is gorgeous.
2 tone RAPTOR with a subtle but classy red stripe to set the black and gun metal gray off! Wow... has to be one of our top 10 customer creations!!! What can you RAPTOR???

CHRIS FROM ONTARIO

As someone who gives our customers advice daily on RAPTOR from ordering to installing it, I had to find out for my self first hand rather than give advice on what I have been taught over the past 3 years!

I bought this 2008 Honda Ridgeline a couple years ago... with plans on Raptoring it myself... have been giving advice to customers having learned almost everything there is to know about Raptor Liner... Well... Wife was away on a girl's weekend, and I had some free time... Friday after work until late Sunday night... the body work was done at a buddy's shop, but I wanted to Raptor it for myself...
Could hardy move Monday morning... Wow... pulling parts off, sanding, taping, spraying and then putting all back together... that's HARD work!!! I totally respect all our "do it your selfers" that love taking on their cool projects!
anyway... My first attempt and think I nailed it... Everyone loves the Sarge Green (PGG) with Black accents...
Couldn't be happier... Knew Raptor was a winner when I first saw it 3 years ago in Tampa... I now retail it both Nationally in Canada and USA... raptorliner.ca and com. Love the product and being apart of U-pol's flagship product...

Austen from ontario

Austen did a full colour change from black to white with his 2007 GMC pickup. He wasn't sure how the colour change would work out with only using 10L's or Raptor Liner pre-tined in GM Bright White. He used the standard gun and let me know that shooting the final coat was key to having the texture looks consistent all the way through. He noticed that his first coat had dull and shiny areas as he was learning how to spray it. His second and final coat he shot at a good distance away which left an even stipple that he loved how it turned out. He thought the reaction would be negative but to his surprise he's had a ton of compliments and attention to his new looking ride!

HENRY FROM SASKATCHEWAN

I did the exterior of the tub, doors, hood and windshield and the after market corner guards with the Olive Drab Green.  I did the rear corners green and then put the metal cloak corner guards over the sprayed tub, so kind of over killed the application of the Raptor Liner under the corner guards.   I used 2 of the 4 L kits to do all that.  I have one more 4L kit to do the additional coats on the body/doors and hood.  
P.S. Ignore the broken windshield.  LOL. 
She tipped forward on me while I was spraying between the tub and the window frame. 

joshua from ontario

Here are some photos from my Suzuki Samurai that I sprayed with Olive Drab tinted Raptor Liner.
 I bought this Samurai last year and almost immediately began tearing it apart to reveal its true condition under the carpets and body panels. Unfortunately it was a lot worse than I had imagined it would be after taking it apart. Removing the carpets, flares, and other interior components revealed massive rust holes in the floor pan and body panels. This triggered a several-month long restoration progress which involved cutting out all the old rotten metal, and welding in new steel. The vehicle was completely stripped down to a bare tub to do this. After the floors were primed, it was sprayed with a fresh coat of black liner. After reassembling most of the body and interior, I finally was able to spray the exterior with a coat of Olive Drab tinted liner, and I couldn't have been any happier with the results. It turned out fantastic, and the coating handles amazing against the rocks, dirt and debris that the Samurai sees when its off-road. It has since been driven offroad multiple times, and been to several car meets, and has also received recognition from the automotive Youtuber ChrisFix. 
 Thanks again for the great product!

I finished my GEO Tracker finally. Got to say I’m really impressed with the results using U-pol Raptor. Here’s some before and after pictures. thanks for all your info prior to my project!!!

Guy in Ontario

The end result is pretty good and I’m quite happy about how it came out. Here is what I did (for reference): 
 
Colour: 4white + 2black (~66% gray);
Density: 
  Thinned 20% for the 2 first coats;
  Thinned 10% for the 3rd coat;
Spray:
  HVLP @ 30psi, nozzle 1.8mm for 2 first coats (this gave a descent penetration of the liner into the wood as the material was atomized in fine particles).
  Standard Schutz spray gun for the 3rd coat, + traction additive;
 
The end result is a fairly uniform and will offer a safe anti slip floor. Dead on with what I was looking for. 

tim from ontario

I am sending some photos of the Raptor Liner job that I finished 18 hrs ago. This is a brand new trailer that was Raptor lined by myself. The trailer was fully masked off inside and around the door frames. 
The floor was sanded down with 180 grit which did not take long on the 6x12 deck. With use of an air blower and wiped down with a damp rag, it was ready to spray within 20 min. Allowing time for the dampness to air dry. Although this trailer was special ordered with Advantech floor, I wanted to add another layer of protection. I applied 2 fairly heavy layers at 55psi and a light layer to add a little more texture. All in, I used 6 full liters of Raptor Liner.
I think it looks great.

Craig from Alberta

Craig had a customer bring him this Boler trailer that was tired in disarray. It's appearance needed a new look and after using RAPTOR on some other small projects the decision was to make this little gem into a two tone beauty. Light beige up top with black down below and voila... a nice looking tow!!!

yourger from ontario

Yourger took his tired Toyota 4 Runner that was still running like a top, and Raptorized it. Some punky rust holes were patched up. and using the textured RAPTOR Liner finish, he was able to rejuvinate his ride and feel good about the outcome. For the price of a couple Raptor kits and some TLC... he now is driving around in style!

ben in ontario

  I thought I would send you a few pictures of the recent projects, the paint worked out perfect on these two.  Both were tintable liner with urethane toner added, and sprayed with the Schutz gun at 75 psi.
2 coats on the jeep and 4 coats on the Volkswagen as this is the second time its been raptor lined, painting over raptor liner seemed to work fine with some light surface prep.
The jeep has some vinyl decals added to the hood which I stuck on then heated with a heat gun to get into all the bumps. I am a firm believer in this paint now, thanks for the help and the product.

brad in ontario

Brad did his GMC Pickup in our reflex blue... he loved the texture and how it turned out... not to mention the attention he gets all the time with his local admirers!

Fernando in ontario

Fernando asked how he could transform his GMC Envoy into a cool looking SUV that would grab attention even though it's not the newest and most expensive SUV on the block any more. Well, attention to detail with his preparation and excellent application of our reliable Black Raptor liner, has renewed his ride and made it one of the best transformations we have seen. Fernando loved the product and it's easy application. He was extra careful to prep the project to the best of his abilities as a "do it yourselfer" but looking at his photos, he gets an A plus for effort!!!

Chris in British columbia

Chris in BC has taken his trawler and totally covered it from the waterline up.  He used Reflex Blue tint for the hull and a light grey tint for the rest. He loves the way it looks and how durable it is for his day to day use. Well done Chris!!!

Chris from ontario

So, I was told that in California, taxi and police cars were covering their rear vinyl seats with RAPTOR Liner to make them easy to clean off and really durable. I finally got around to trying it but I can't give any long term feedback yet as to how it holds up outside in the elements all summer long. Here are some pics of my 2003 Seadoo LRV 4 SEATER with built in sun deck at the back.

The rear seat is original and so is all the vinyl on the sun deck.
We used U-pol Tiger Seal to fill up the 2 big holes at the back of the passenger seat. Shaped it, let it dry and took all 3 seats off the watercraft.
A quick taping off of the white fiberglass and a wipe down of the old vinyl that was ready to disintegrate any month now and we were ready to RAPTOR. Nothing to loose really as new vinyl covers would cost around 1000 Canadian and I'd still have to hire someone to install with proper tools and stainless staples. Not something I wanted to try myself.
RAPTOR has so many uses. We sell so much across Canada for just automotive but we are getting customers telling us about other ways the used it and how great it is. Will be posting on the website as they share with us.
All I can tell you is if RAPTOR holds up as well as it turned out, I'm ecstatic!!!

Next project is some unfinished unassembled Muskoka chairs we picked up at Costco for $49 each. 
Wife wants a particular colour but that's another story.

cory from newfoundland

This product is amazing and this is my first job using raptor liner and it turned out great thanks to Chris at Raptor Liner for answering my questions and supplying me with the Raptor Liner and professional spray gun. I can’t wait for the next project. Thanks for everything!!!

Marc from Quebec

Marc from Quebec is updating this 1999 Chevrolet s10 with a custom air ride, that is mostly street scene pieces... the slammed S10 has a manual 4.3 Vortech and cool custom audio in it just to name a few of the mods...
After using Raptor in the custom box scene below, he is now figuring out what colour to tint Raptor for a full body coating...

Tommy in Ontario

As promised 
Some before and after pics.
I certainly learned a lot an how to apply different textures.  The trim was all done at a higher pressure to give it less grit and the top coat to the body was done at 45 psi to cover the tiger striping and to give it a super aggressive look. 

Andrew from ontario

I'm very pleased with the final result.
I did learn a few things that I thought I would share - I assumed it would be thick and fill in nail, staple or knot holes...not true.  I actually used the paint as filler between the first & second coat.  The floor needs to be perfectly flat/smooth.  I would likely try rolling my next project as the second coat was difficult to spray.  The nozzle kept plugging.  All things I learned along the way.
Still don't understand why they put carpet in boats so am very happy with the way this turned out.  Ignore the dirt in the last pic on the white fiberglass.
 
Hope this helps & would highly recommend the product.

Cory from Ontario

Thank you Cory for sharing your build! Cory took this beauty GMC van on a trip down to the desert where it served him well and gave him some great memories that he still cherishes today. Cory wanted to do a complete body job to his van but after weighing the costs and time to prep for a traditional body job, he contacted RAPTOR Liner Canada to get info on how much product he would need and how well we could match his GMC Dakota Brown original colour. Well I think Cory hit it out of the park. First picture is his original photo from down south with his ride... He then shared his restoration with RAPTOR... 3 kits, and he's almost done... just has to put doors and trim back on... More photos to follow... Let us know how you like it.

rebecca from quebec

 Rebecca and her husband took this old 1990 Power Ram 250 Cummins Turbo Diesel that had lots of holes and was in need of some new metal welded in spots to make her solid again. As you can see they picked a great colour and the green that they picked along with RAPTOR Liners texture has turned this old girl back into a new beauty! Three 4 Litre Tintable kits was what it took to wake up the classic RAM appearance. Great thanks for sharing it with us!

John from ontario
I figured I would share some photos of the coating I just put down on my garage floor. The floor itself wasn't in great condition, it had a lot of spalling concrete that I repaired myself, The previous owner never sealed the concrete and after a few years of winter ice it had some big ruts.
I could have ground the repair smooth, but didn't care enough to spend the time and rent the grinder, lol
But I rolled on about 15 liters of tint-able raptor bed-liner to cover the 900sqft. (around 19 liters total with tint) I would recommend doing a second coat if you want to hide more sins, or perfect coverage. But I was happy, and didn't feel like doing another coat.
The nice thing about raptor, is how it handles. its one of the most rugged coatings when it comes to acidic chemicals. I have heard if a coating can handle aviation hydraulic fluid for 5 minutes, its good... this can handle it for 24 hours! it can handle acids, and brake fluids without a problem.

Larry from Oakville Ontario shared his concrete floor experience with us... Nice floor!
Step 1 sweep out the are to be painted
Step 2 Wash the floor with a concrete degreaser and let dry.
Step 3 Mask off the wall areas
 I used the tintable product so I had to use a Urethane base coat to get my colour, this is 100 ml to each 1 litre bottle.
 I applied one coat, and let it setup and applied a second coat 40 to 60 minutes later.
On the last coat I would work a 4' by 4' , once done I applied the speckle coat which is a bag of flakes to give more color.
 Let everything dry overnight.
 Wear a mask as the smell is quite strong and wear gloves.
Sparkle flooring, this is the picture of the sparkle flakes, it is best to sprinkle these over a 4x4 area on the last coat of Raptor while it is still wet. I suggest you get a kit and play around with it.

Grilles, gates and bumpers

One of our customers has used RAPTOR several times to coat his and a couple buddies grilles with our black textured coating. Take a look at some of his work. He says its all about the prep. Make sure it has been scuffed up everywhere. Clean well, let dry and spray on at least 2 coats with gun pressure set for best texture result you like. Always a good idea to spray some cardboard or newspaper to see how its going to lay out before you attack your project.

Industrial use

Equipment Services refurbish cranes and highlifts for resale.  They spray them with tintable Raptor reduced down 10% and shot out of an HVLP gun.  They needed a product that would hold up to the abuse that they are put through on a daily basis and have been working with the RAPTOR and are extremely pleased with the results.  They average 5 to 6 cranes a week.  In the picture are the finished cranes.
This local aluminum boat building factory frequently coats it's aluminum boat floors with RAPTOR Liner and RAPTOR's Traction Additive for long lasting durability and non slip texture.

tony from ontario

Tony's 2009 F150 needed a shot of Raptor to freshen it up. The front and rear lower painted bumpers were showing signs of rust that really show up on his white bumpers as you can see in the photos. A local body shop sanded the rust and prepped the bumpers for colour code matched tintable Raptor. 1L of tintable Raptor was more than enough to do this minor fix. Tony was elated with the texture and durability of the new coating that looked factory fresh.

jOhn from Ontario

John has taken RAPTOR and covered below the windshield pillars on his 1987 Pontiac Firebird for a new textured look on a classic. He reported that he loves the way it went on and the result. Just waiting for some RAPTOR Liner decals to add.

Shawn from quebec (custom colour match)

This is what Shawn did to achieve exact Colour Match... this is not "Tintable Raptor Liner"

I used it on both box panels step 1 was cutting out rust welding in new outer panel patch.
Step 1 for paint was priming over filler bare metal area... epoxy primer was used on bare metal with urethane primer filler le3404s from cromax...
Step 2 was applying raptor liner (black) over wheel well lips and Lower bottom 3 inches up (was sanded with 120 grit for raptor liner) the raptor liner was applied at 80psi as customer wanted little as possible texture.
Step 3 was curing the raptor on bake cycle for 1 hour.
Step 4 I applied a sealer coat value shade 4 (as recommended for top coat coverage) of cromax urethane sealer le3440s flash for 20 mins.
Step 5 I applied my waterborne paint colour (wa926l) let dry.
Step 6 2 coats of cromax le5100s clear coat. 

Turned out awesome! Lighter colours do tend to show the bedliner texture more so maybe in future I would reduce it... I sure loves this product👍Makes my job easier when I can trust a product to withstand and meet customers needs!

Colin from manitoba

Awesome product. Very easy to apply.  Good coverage.  Looks good and tough as a box liner should be.
