Thanks everyone I’m slowly plugging away, been prepping all the small parts, inner fenders and such for paint.
Been thinking about using raptor liner on underside of fenders and the floor and walls of the cab. Anybody have any thoughts on this, I would love some feed back.

**8man** · 10-01-2019, 05:35 PM

I did that on the Cherokee and like it. Helps with noise and rock dents.

Matt_50 · 10-01-2019, 09:54 PM

I got some undercoating stuff from when I worked at the dodge house. Went on real good and it's pretty thick. Had to go back and add seat belt anchors. Was a pain to clean off a couple spots. But I bet it won't rust out.

I used the black Raptor liner on the inside of my fenders and bottom of cab. It's only been a little over a year but I'm really happy with it so far.

Also, a friend of mine has 2 cars that he wanted a matte finish on and sprayed the whole car with the tintable Raptor liner ( I would never do this). It's held up really well on both of them.

I just sprayed raptor on the bottom and top of the floors in my 53 suburban. The fenders and running boards are next. They recommend spraying at 40-60 PSI. It you dial back to a lower pressure you will get a little rougher finish than spraying at 60 psi or above. I like how it sealed everything..

Looking good...

Thanks for the feed back guy’s, any idea how much I should order? I’m thinking I will do 2 coats under fenders, rear wall, kick panels, floor board, under the dash and under running boards.
Also, can I spray it over SPI epoxy and what grit should I use before I spray?

I bought 2 kits (4) bottles per kit. I used (7) bottles for everything I coated (see my build tread for an idea). I will go back and buy (4) more bottles to do the backsides of my fenders and bottom side of my running boards.

Finally got to do something different than sand and prime today. Shot the inside of my cab and bottom side of inner fenders with Raptor liner. The worst part of the job is getting everything taped off, shooting it is super easy. I’m extremely happy with this product. I have used five bottles so far and still have the under side of the fenders to do.

**oldman3** · 10-13-2019, 12:09 AM

Looks great...Jim

**mongocanfly** · 10-13-2019, 12:45 AM

raptor looks good...ive got some raptor that I'm gonna use under my fenders...I used lizardskin in nd under cab and have linerextreme for my bed...

**8man** · 10-13-2019, 11:29 AM

Looks great. I still like the 5 rear cab supports.

NorCalGal · 10-26-2019, 09:45 PM

Plugging along in the undercoating world. Last of the fenders done today, still have a lots of little painting projects to do on some brackets and core support. Thankfully the weather here is cooperating so far.

MIKESAD50 · 10-26-2019, 10:00 PM

Jans53,
Looking good.

**oldman3** · 10-26-2019, 11:25 PM

nice job...Jim

**8man** · 10-27-2019, 09:12 AM

That looks good.

**youngrodder** · 10-29-2019, 09:15 AM

Looks great...….Its a nice feeling having everything sealed up.

Marc

NorCalGal · 10-29-2019, 02:28 PM

Thanks everyone. I’m hoping to get enough done this year so that maybe I can put some paint on it next summer. The hardest part has been trying to pick a color.

**8man** · 10-29-2019, 03:38 PM

Paint? Then final assembly and driving? I can see that sometime in my future, I think.

Matt_50 · 10-30-2019, 11:15 PM

Wow that looks professional!!

NorCalGal · 11-08-2019, 12:14 PM

Taking advantage of the 70-80 degree weather here in cali to get some parts painted and ready for spring assembly.....maybe?

**8man** · 11-08-2019, 01:59 PM

Looking good. You are going to be cruising come spring time.

NorCalGal · 11-08-2019, 02:40 PM

Robert, since everything takes me 3 times longer than normal I’m not counting on it.

Matt_50 · 11-08-2019, 04:52 PM

Is that your living room? I think my wife would have a fit. Lol

**8man** · 11-08-2019, 04:56 PM

Well you got that going for you. I'm still at the three times longer, do it wrong anyway, and then have to do it all over again!

Matt refer to post #169
I’m the wife, and I say it’s ok it can stay as long as it needs to!

Although, it is motivation to get this thing done.
