Really good, I used tinted raptor and colour match was fine, but then I wasn’t painting gloss as close, I did outer sills up to the seam and bulkhead to cross member, and at back up to edge of rear valence, pretty good stuff though.

Ben, fantastic work as always. I take it that the raptor stuff can be painted over once fully cured without any other work?

Cheers.

I applied it and it was dry in an hour but I let it cure overnight and by then it was rock hard and really on there. All I did was scuff it up with a red scotchbrite and then go over with the paint and it's really adhered well.

A real solid finish IMO and should last really well.

Looking awesome ..I'm using raptor on all the underneath and inner floors on the van both to add texture and also help with the drowning ..

that's a good point - hadn't really considered the noise angle.  any extra mass on those panels should help i guess

Not a good picture but this is all Raptor all of which will be hidden with carpet ...

..you tease !!!

I have to ask - and I'm sure it's something to do with cleanliness, but why are the steps/boxes covered up with paper? To avoid kicking dust up?

[Ben_O]

It's just because the tops of the boxes are damaged so I don't want dust being kicked up out of them. I didnt have anything the correct height to hand for me to stand on so I had to use those. They actually contain the Paint for the workshop floor! Must get around to applying That!

Gotcha. Knew it would be something along those lines! Excellent attention to detail as always Ben. Can't wait to see some colour on the pick-up. 'Better than new' springs to mind!

[cooperd70]

It'll definitely be 'better than new' in Ben's hands. Can't wait to see it.

[Ben_O]

All done.
