Raptor paint is meant to flog out of the gun, but in our case, it didn’t spray out of the gun the way that it is designed to. We wanted a really fine sandpaper look and it turns out, it was probably too fine. The Raptor Paint Technician confirmed we took all the correct steps with our preparations. We mixed the tintable raptor coat, automotive tint and hardener together and cleaned the spray gun between each bottle. It took an agonising long time, we were really excited to get to the fun part – the spray job. Adam and the Raptor Coat technician had a good chat about the possibilities of what has happened with our paint job.Īfter spending 50+ hours repairing all the damaged panel work on the car, it was time to begin the next stage of preparation. A technician came out to us to inspect the car in person. U-Pol went above and beyond with their customer service. So we reached out to U-Pol (the owner of Raptor Coatings Australia) to get some advice. It couldn’t be sufficiently cleaned and ended up staining the bull bar permanently. A little polish spilled onto the raptor coated bull bar and it was like the polish had absorbed into the paintwork. Adam had used a foam polishing disc with a plastic polish to tidy up our head lights. Our paint job was full of scratches and was so porous that we were unable to clean off spilt car polish from the bull bar. After 30 days, we began to question the scratch resistance claim and the porosity of the paint.
