U-POL Raptor - Color Matched

I am fairly obsessive, compulsive, and detail oriented. It is nearly a requirement to be a professional painter! Being I am not a professional painter yet I still made a few mistakes on this project, but they are very easy to correct. Spraying U-POL's tintable Raptor bed liner is especially easy. The preparation is the longest process and has to be correct the first time. I easily spent more time preparing than I did spraying the product.

My goal with this bed liner was not the normal goal of being highly functional. I am aiming for it cover all the bare metal from scratches and over 102,000 miles of paint wear in the foot wells. The carpet will be put back in once I clean it properly. Only three bottles were used in this process. The last bottle will be applied to the fender flares and the wheel wells before I put the wheel well liners back on. The driver foot well will be resprayed as well since I made a small tear in the liner with my foot before it was fully cured.

Preparation has begun, some sanding done. The driver's seat was left in temporary to move the Jeep over to the house to spray it out with a hose.


Lets go straight to the results!
