Hey all this is sort of a work in progress but I just shot the underside of my tub (and soon to be inside) with the U-POL tintable raptor lining.
First off I got the product (4 liters and a shutz gun) for $100 shipped off some obscure online website - arrived in two days. The urethane basecoat i got from TCP global as a match to 653 Olive Green. It was around $75 shipped for a quart. so a total of $275 to bedline the inside and outside of my rig to match the body color
I can't give any feedback on how well it will hold up as I just sprayed the bottom last week but I thought I would start this thread and build upon it.
My only question from the whole experience is how the hell to mix everything properly.. I ended up with a lot of activator left over...
here are the directions
http://www.u-pol.com/countries/en/downloads/tds/raptor tint.pdf
"FILL hardener to level A (see diagram above) of the bottle (this equates to 250ml of System 20 Hardener).
Add basecoat tinter to level B indicated in the diagram above (this equates to 10% of basecoat tinter by volume).
Replace cap"
I took this to mean a total of 250 ml of activator and 100 ml of color... that didn't fit in the bottle though.. so i ended up just doing it visually.. activator to the first indent in the bottle then color up to almost the top so I could shake the bottle. Anyone have any ideas about this? (a tech guy for U-POL said i'd be okay with using less activator it just might take more time to dry than the 6 hours it normally takes) ..I don't know what he meant by dry it was dry to the touch in 2 hours and could be handled by 6 and I had almost a third of the bottle of activator left over (youre supposed to use it all)
