u-pol raptor

#1 by JLawson90 , Thu Aug 31, 2017 2:44 pm

Considering painting the entire truck with raptor bed liner, however I've got a few questions ..

I've heard distant rumours of it being possible to colour this somewhat? I'd love like a cement grey, would this be as simple as mixing in some white paint? If so, what type would I need?

Would I also need to mix in some thinners, sure I've read a few people say they went 10% thinners?

Also, I done have a compressor or any indoor work space so I would have to roller it on, would this work? I'm not expecting a perfectly smooth finish I know that won't happen.

get the tintable raptor then u can tint it with any colour u choose, roller will be fine just use a gazebo or something similar over the truck to prevent 90% of the crap sticking to the paint, the roller effect is prettty nice anyway no thinners probably needed for rollering unless u want a less bumpy finish

It's an easy material to work with. I've done my bed area and have a litre of the tintable version sat on a shelf ready to do the underneath of the tub once all rubbed down

in regards to the tintable stuff .. what do you actually tint it with, I've read 2k acrylic, anyone with experience of doing this?

Done my whole truck.

Good tip is to mix all the bottles ur goanna use with thinners at the same time so you get equal thinners in all tubs. That keeps the texture the same when you apply it. I did mine with a gravity gun but I'm sure it will have the same affect when rolled on.

how many packs do you think I'd need for the full truck? baring in mind I'll be mixing a little thinners and a little white in there as well .. I'm thinking all the paintwork grey, with black details like the front and rear bars and side steps etc

this may sound daft, but with regards to the colour choice for a tint .. would I choose the exact same shade I want, or does the actually liner effect this and you need to compensate?
