I'm surprised you didn't just use the raptor liner inside too. It would have possibly sealed the edges better and acted as a second layer of sound deadener.

The first issue is adhesion you have to scuff the surface with 600g scotch brite before painting and you really need a primer sealer at least. No matter what a year from now everything you coated in white will be corroded. I’ve been in body shops for 14 years and fixed dozens of home gamer style cut corner jobs like this. Just like me you gotta learn the hard way sometimes.

@@joshuacstorlie an etch primer would help with adhesion yeah but not corrosion protection if you put a single stage paint on top of it moisture will still permeate the coatings. opening the pores of the metal by scuffing and applying a sealer which is a non permeable barrier, is the best way to stop corrosion. Second best way is by applying 3 coats of a cavity wax material.

hey, speaking of insulation and condensation, I'm assuming you're planning on using this vehicle in a cold environment. It seems like there might be an issue with warm moist interior air making it through your interior paneling and insulation to the cold exterior metal where it will condensate and later mold/mildew I don't have an expert opinion, I just wanted to make sure you had that scenario in mind in your interior plan. :)
You need a set of lights in front of the solar panels. The lights above the panel are not visible as they are blocked by the solar panel.

That water based paint usually takes weeks to fully cure and mineral spirits or similar can dissolve it, especially when its fresh. It might not touch the raptor liner. Spot test and see, may not need to re-raptor liner at all.
Painting it black has made it into a huge oven on wheels, black absorbs heat. That is why most campers and motorhomes have white roofs and are lighter in shades. The lighter the color the more the sun is deflected and thus less heat absorbed.

Upper lights on rear and sides connect to your running lights. No signaling. The more lights the better. You can see better and others can see you.
You guys do great work. There are a couple of comments you should really heed. It is without question, if you do not want issues later, that proper sanding and proper cleaning of the bare metal is essential before laying down the primer coat. Secondly, you should use the primers made for metal covering as they are chemically developed so that they react to form a bond with the metal assuring a reliable barrier and gives you peace of mind there will be no rust issues since the entire area is hidden. But then again if your just going to sell it, good to I guess. Once again enjoy watching you building your pcs of art.
Love the transparency! Fav channel on KZread!
Might actually be the silicone sealant you used to hold the windows in. This looks very familiar to what a large car manufacturer suffered when they replaced some windows in their paint booth… But shit but hey ho. You live and learn! Don’t let it get you down chap
IMO, orange side lights would be over the rear wheel well, at the top of the rear passenger door, then the side mirrors and then on the side of the front bumper. May be too many, but you'll be very visible, especially on those dark sections on the highway.
As a semi truck driver I know how important it is to have marker lights on the side that are linked to your turn signals. Because you are so long, if someone is beside you they won't see your front or rear signals if your trying to change lanes, so they may not let you merge. I would put them in the front bottom corner of the panel that is above your table slide outs. I would also put a set of roof lights on the front panel of the camper above the windows. They will be way more visible there than the angled ones at the very top that you installed.
Your investigation is spot on, even when I'm painting rooms I have windows open and then run a dehumidifier when drying.
Water base paint comes off really easy with just water for future reference

Can´t you use a high pressure washer and wash the white paint off the outside. Should not affect the raptor liner but probably flake off the white paint.
Use a toothbrush on the raptor liner to clean the paint off it.

I would strongly recommend reflective tape somewhere on the back say you're going down the highway and your alternator dies
I agree with your assessment. I recommend using a floor dryer blower inside the truck cab and supplement it with high speed fans leaving the back doors open. For the exterior paint, stay away from the wire wheel. Use the less aggressive rubber erasing compound wheel for removing stickers

For the side lights you could also just get side mirrors with LED lights. It’s way easier and would add another modern touch to the truck.
Honestly, in terms of Markerlights on the top I would have used larger Truck Markerlights, possibly "classic" Bullet shaped ones on the Front and larger Oval shaped ones on the rear and for the sides. But then again I love going wild with Markerlights on larger Trucks, to the point it's almost too many, if there is such a thing.
When you said you use the paint for the walls to paint metal, I was like that surely will not end well.

Why didn't you use primer
Let this be a lesson metal needs to be primed before topcoating. Especially with water based paint primer is a must. You are correct about ventilation.
For the side lights, I'd put them on the side just above the drawer instead of on the forward facing facet and the top one would be basically in the same place you were already thinking. This would allow it to be better seen from the side.
As far as I know, Water based paints are for concrete. You need a thiner based paint for any metal. Even so, you need to degrease the metal or clean with acetone.(alcohol might do) And the best first coat is always rust converter.
You really need to consult with more experts and do more research before jumping into projects your not proficient in. You've made alot, alot of avoidable mistakes on every project. Very jank. Honestly starting to feel like one of those junkyard build a car in 6hrs type shows where they're good at welding and only have basic knowledge of everything else. Turns out a cobbled mess that has tons of unexpected issues that make it barely work. No offense, want you to succeed. I know it's fun to jump into things but you gotta hold yourself back and know your experience limits so the project comes out well.
I would recommend going inside the camper and actually applying sealer to the cracks especially the ones that leaked the paint outside and I would do this before cleaning the paint off of the outside and definitely before you repaint the inside
When doing new things, expect surprises... lol. You guys either win or you learn. Can't wait to see the finished product in action.

Love the build, that thing is going to be bad ass!! As for the side marker lights maybe integrate them near the tables so you can use the same wiring for those and for indirect ground lighting near the tables?
Oh my lord. Seeing this gave me that sickly feeling I get when things in my projects go wrong. So sorry for you guys!
I new and said it would be a disaster
I would suggest adding a leveling system for when parked and throw in an over cab roof area vertical slider that raises a skylight that can be vented (maybe soft sides) with panorama ceiling curtain like the new glass roof cars. More head room in the bed and ventilation, that trucks going to be an oven in black that eats power so venting the high point will help you cool it. Move the solar panels on the roof further back
Chris also before you do the interior walls you need to think about exterior lighting connected to the house battery to illumine the outside of the camper when parked or camping. It would be so much easier to do the wiring and installation now then after.
The amber marker lights on the front corner help a lot with on coming traffic. If you look on the factory bed that you guys took off the lights are facing at a 45 degree angle front and back from the tire. They are meant to be that way so that they are pointed at the on coming driver.
Before interior panelling starts to go in, have you thought about a rear view camera system? Great work by the way👍🏻
this paint problem has happened to me too. what a nightmare. I learned that tou should self etch prime with solvent based paint fist, then use the water based paint in sections leaving it to dry. Indeed the humidity caused by the paint will thin the wet paint in enclosed spaces. it sucks, but without failure we cannot learn. 😊
Wow what a comeback fr. In aerospace we protect plexiglass used on the plane with a thin coat of wax. I like the idea of being seen from the front just for the sake of making sure people know how wide you are at night. Fun thought for the OEM roof lights: rewire them to an aux switch and replace the lights with some super bright pod lights or even the rectangular ones. It is meant for exploring so why not 😅
Love when Chris says we an it’s Oscar doing the work.
Get the running board lights that add turn signals. Less holes in the body means there's less chance of leaks.
I think you're right about the paint because I used the same type of paint on the bottom of my Ranger to stop it from rusting, and it dried just fine with an occasional drip.
Experience is the best teacher! There’s no success where there’s no failure!
Hey Chris. I do trailer safeties and repairs as part of my job. Your triple ID lights are part of your running light system, as they are just counted as clearance lights
Cool build guys!
I feel your pain. Having spent an entire day redoing what took me the whole previous day. 😊
Love you guys! Ignore the haters, keep pushing forward!!
I hope you are able to fix the Raptor Liner paint contamination. In my experience, the stuff is unremovable and unreparable if it ever gets discolored, gouged in the rocks or you ever have to fix body damage. I know it goes on easy compaired to paint, but I've never understood the appeal. That said, my preference isn't worth a cent on someone else's rig. I love your builds and learn a lot from your channel. Thanks for keeping it real!
Definitely should do a comprehensive leak test before starting the interior walls.
I have used black sealer primer on bedliner before. In Arizona, the sun would cook that stuff grey in a few years. Simple topcoat with the sealer, good to go for a few more years.

Old school B is for Build paint problem, I’m getting nostalgic 😂 Thanks for sharing boys, what a bummer.
Dab the raptorliner on with a sponge for a better effect.
LOL I did this EXACT SAME THING! I know what your issue was. It was too cold when you painted. Anything under 60 degrees for something like that is going to setup right. I painted my exterior security door of my house in the winter. The metal felt cold but the house was warm. Well that cold air on the panel made the paint "sag". If you have a few little spots, they call those runs. When the entire wall seems to slide down it is a great indicator that temp was too low for the amount of paint that was applied. If that was sitting in the hot and hot as balls inside, you could do that same thing and get completely different results.
Honestly the same mistake was made on the inside that was made on the outside. Bare metal can be sanded with 180 grit, ETCHING PRIMER, then paint. I almost wish i could give Chris a crash course on this stuff so he could avoid these mistakes.
Some people cant understand that even with all the talent in the world, with out a vision on how to put that talent to good used, you got nothing, Oscar is great, but thanks to the opportunity he was given is that hes mastering all bis skills, and a graceful person dont bite the ha d that feed them. It's about the bigger picture, not just the accomplishments along the way.
After peeling the drips, use mineral spirits. It should clean off the raptor liner
For the bottom center running lights you can 3D print a holder that angles the light sidewards...
Try cleaning the paint trace line with metholated spirits (metho). Metho dissolves plastic (water based) paint. I use it for cleaning my painting ladder to remove paint spots after painting interior ceilings and walls.
