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

Hey Phillip thank you mate, foxy at the other garage just up from me has done a full van and it did look good. Next time it’s down I’ll get a picture or a mention in a video 👍👍
Thank you for the video. You did a cracking job there, especially when you only had the van for a day. I really liked it the contrasting finish and colour. Very annoying that someone ran into the back again - sod's law eh after doing all that work and getting it perfect.

Hey Karl thank you mate 👍👍 I wernt to sure on it myself but when it fully hardened off and didn’t look so patchy it’s definitely grown on me. He’s definitely not had much luck on that corner. It’s being fixed on my estate so will give it mention in another video.
Looks really good but he really needs some wheel spacers on them back wheels

Interesting finish material, like the modern equivalent of Tetrosyl on a Mk1 Escort, like a ride Mark finish around the wheel arches and lower doors. As you say, Customers choice, his train set, he can do what he likes with it

Hey Karter that’s exactly it I call Tetrosyl shutz and it’s the same finish, only difference is this has a hardener so goes Rock hard. I wernt to sure at first but it’s definitely grown on me. I’d of still painted it original colour thow 😁
Interested to see how it looks now, if it’s still durable

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.

guy i bought my van has done bottom half in raptor im not a fan took it to the jest wash and is starting too come off , is there an easy way to remove it ? i have heard heat gun may do the trick but dont want to damage the paint underneath as i reckon the guy who did the raptor didnt do any prep
@YTDTETV

Hi bud yes if it’s not prepped then you it can peel off, only way I think you’ll get it off is by a pressure washer, if you know someone with a hot pressure washer it may come off better. Good luck 👍
