Just completed spraying my wheel wells with U-POL Raptor Liner and I wanted to do a little write up. Little back ground, a friend of mine at work used it to cover the top for his blazer and after a few months he is still really happy with it and hasnt had any problems. So I decided to go ahead and do my wheel wells because I got tired of the white. As it goes for any painting project prep is everything.
Started by removing the tires, fender flares and removing the fender support brackets. Once that was complete I taped everything off with plastic trash bags and covered up all the vital parts. I hit it with a light sand just to knock it down a bit. Followed up with a little coat of primer. I let everything dry for about 20 min then shot it with the Raptor Liner.
Raptor liner is a two part mix that you mix together and can be tinted to any color of your liking. You purchase the spray gun and hook it to your air compressor and set the pressure between 40-70psi. Lower the pressure the rougher the texture. I set it to 60 psi when I did mine. The product sprays in a tight circle with very little over spray. There is a vent at the top of the gun that if you spray a difficult angle the product will come out so use caution. as you can see in the pictures below it came out really good and harden up in about 1hr.
Hit me up if you have any questions. I am going to post follow up pictures in a month or so, so you can see how it is holding up
