T5 Transporter Raptor - Exterior Finish - DTE TV

What's going on guys so the t5 transporter that I repaired a few weeks back is being painted. It's not being painted in normal paint the customer is going for the rugged look so the back end is being coated in the raptor finish. How will it look I have no idea but we are going to find out.
This is what I used

    Been looking at this paint for my t4 just the roof but in white to cool the outside down as it’s a camper someone says you can use a roller to apply it as I don’t have a inside place to paint don’t think the neighbours would be happy with me using a spray gun outside thanks for doing a video on it 👍

    Hey Micheal thank you mate 👍👍 I have a black transit van as a camper so I feel your pain with the heat in the sun 😩🥵. I painted the whole top half of my van silver but yes white is even better. I’ve heard of people using rollers with this so you should be ok. It will also be abit of sound deadening I think as it is really thick and dries nice and hard. Let me know how you get on👍 thank you for the comment.
