We came just for the warm weather since we studied in upstate, NY where it's still probably snowing in late April haha. That's a nice vehicle to be spraying, I was nervous spraying this new Gladiator, but I would be shaking doing yours! That being said, it's something that can most certainly be done and you'll have a serious appreciation if you get to do it yourself. The great thing about learning to do it is that you'll be able to repair it in the future or fix any mistakes that come up. I made a few mistakes lining my own Jeep (made a video on that previously, not this video) and I ended up being able to fix each one and respray the Jeep with ease.

I wish you luck and I look forward to hearing your input on future uploads!

Another awesome video! Thanks for showing all of your steps, and explaining what you've learned from the last time you applied the raptor. Did you have any problems getting all of the trim pieces back on the vehicle after everything was Raptored? I'll be doing my FJ Cruiser in Raptor next month, trying to decide how much to take off. Also, I see you sprayed everything outside. Did you do a degreaser in-between coats to get rid of any dust, or not worried about it? I'll be spraying in a partially open space as well. Thank you!

Fellow Jerseyite and Raptor installer here. We talked once before. You do great work, but if I can, a DA with 180 and red scotch Brite would save all that priming. Also, even though raptor sells their own line of adhesion promoter and primer, a regular 2k self etching epoxy primer and a 1.6 gun works better for me. I use Bullfrog adhesion promoter on the plastics and hard to reach areas. Last suggestion that stretches this stuff out. Reduce 10% with urethane reducer and add your own paint color. I use a HF purple gun and drill the the tip to 2.0 MM. Lays out smooth, but I will say it does need a 4th coat. But it goes really quick. Keep up the good work and looking forward to more vids.

I certainly remember our past conversation, you have always provided invaluable insight! Thanks for taking the time to watch and again, provide additional insight. I was really interested in using the Eastwood SCT since, although I only show the interesting Raptor jobs, I mostly do truck beds and they are a PAIN with a DA. The Contour is the perfect tool for that and although it was overkill (and yes, took it down to bare metal forcing me to prime), I was too excited to test it out 🤣 I always recommend the Raptor stuff since for begineers and people watching videos like these, they always ask if one product from another brand is compatible with Raptor. Using U-Pol's Raptor products ensure there's no confusion, but what you're saying is 100% true and when I worked at Line-X, we used the same adhesion promoter that you use as well. I have yet to try your recommendation of reducing and adding your own color, but I'm taking your advice and applying it to my respray on my own Jeep Grand Cherokee, I'll be repainting everything in an OD green with your tips! Thanks again for watching, I look forward to seeing what you have to say in upcoming projects!

Badass job!!! I saw the air compressor in the back how big of a tank you recommend to keep up with spraying?? Appreciate it.

Thank you so much! For a compressor, I’d recommend a 30 gallon which is what I’m using here. It keeps it portable enough and keeps up on the job no problem. That being said, U-POL suggests, “A 6 HP compressor that generates 150 PSI line pressure should provide sufficient air supply, but is dependent on the application equipment / gun (Shultz type or gravity feed HVLP) used to apply the RAPTOR.”

Just want to make sure I got this correct. You sprayed at 60 psi first two coats then decreased down to 20 psi for the 3rd coat? Did you adjust the nozzel setting for 3rd coat or did you keep it at 3 turns? Also how often did you have to clean the nozzle? Any tips for cleaning the nozzle. Thanks man!

How well is it holding up fading cracking peeling Probably go with just basic black as well on my well on my vehicles already black just would want to do the outside not inside the door jams Once my paint starts looking bad

The only time that you need a primer is when you sand through to bare metal. The best adhesion is typically achieved to OEM paint where you scuff the surface with the red scuff pads recommended by Raptor and shoot Raptor over the prepared surface. If you have rust or are doing dent repairs, you'll need primer due to the nature of the reparations. Let me know if you need any other help and let me know how the project goes!

You're right about that! If it's bare steel, you're going to want to apply their epoxy primer down first. It's a super easy step to ensure not only proper adhesion for Raptor Liner, but it also prevents corrosion. Just know that you can even get their 2K epoxy primer in an aerosol can! The steps to Raptor Line bare steel would be as follows: 1: Clean the surface 2: Abrade the surface with P80 grit 3: Apply 2-3 coats of Raptor Epoxy Primer 4: Apply Raptor Liner wet-on-wet or dry Here's a link to the TDS sheet for the epoxy primer as well: www.u-pol.com/files/10493/rep1lk-TDS-EN-AUS Let me know if you have any other questions!

To start, no matter the color you won’t worry about fading at all. I recommend using Raptor’s color packs to keep it a consistent color and you won’t have to worry about using tint like you would otherwise. You also definitely do not have to tear the rig apart as I did, I was just worried about getting a uniform prepped surface behind the cab and in front of the bed. I do recommend removing everything you can, especially the rubber seals since they’re almost impossible to mask properly and give clean lines after it’s sprayed. Just take your time and enjoy! Let me know if I can do anything to help along the way.

To preface this, you only need to prime the surface if you sand through paint to bare metal. Raptor doesn't adhere very well to bare metal and primer allows it to have the best adhesion in that case. If I were you, I'd order a set of red scuff pads and go to town! These are great to get in tight areas and are even what the TDS from Raptor recommends you use. After scuffing, degrease and clean the area well and hit it with Raptor.

Using the Professional Vari-Nozzle, I shoot at 50 PSI, but it operates between 40-60 PSI depending on the texture you’re looking for. Lower PSI means a more coarse texture and a hugher PSI will result in less texture.

Come do mine please lol. I'm not sure i could figure out how to remove everything on my jlu like you did.

How come no more videos in last year ?

How much for a 2 door rubicon wrangler

How much to get it done or how many liters? If the ladder, I’d say 12 liters, but I’d buy 16 in case. To do it, I’d expect to pay around $2,500-$3,000 for a job similar to the video!

So you used no more than 5 bottles for the whole project??

Apologies if that was confusing, I used 16 total bottles for this project 👍

What do you charge to do it ?

Depends on the vehicle, but between $2,000 and $3,500 for labor for something of this extent. I took this thing apart completely and pay super close attention to prepping and painting every piece. I put everything back together in spec from Mopar and it takes a while to get it all done. I’m always happy to help you along the way if you decide to do it yourself though, I do that for free 👍

Use a regular spray gun & thin the mixed Raptor - use a 1.8 tip. Better coverage, smoother. Also the adhesion promoter.... would you use it before a regular 2k primer shot? Because you buried it under the 2k primer.. :-) So it's kinda moot. If you'd skipped the "sand it bare" step & just scuffed the original paint with 180 grit, used adhesion promoter where seen fit & shot that with the Raptor, you'da saved a lot of effort & had a factory spec base under the liner coat.. That & a few extra hours masking, minus the extreme dismantling, this would be a short video, but the results would be much the same visually - 4 or 5 hours of fussy masking beats days of dis-assembly/re-assembly & all the "shonkiness" non-factory re-assembly inevitably introduces. :-) You ain't gonna get it to go back together as tight as the factory did, not a hope, be as careful as you like. LITFA where possible & mask. Just my 2c - loved the video, everyones a Critic. :-)

Hm. I’m reading your replies, and when people ask what PSI you used, you’ve replied 50, 60, and 70. Seems like maybe you forgot?

Are you the guy looking to open a shop in NH? If so we posted to each other on Jeepgladiator.com

@@MyJeepStory The end result was amazing brother. You went the extra mile and removed/prepped parts that no other painter would have done. Truly professional. PS...I am in NH. Let's find you a shop! XD

Bro your doing way to much you should be using 3000 grit, wet sanding by hand have fun repainting it in few weeks 😂
