Your liner looks great!! I have product and i am getting ready to spray in next week or so. I have a couple of questions about tint. your 10% paint...Did you use a stright DIY color or just a DIY/base mix which you then mixed with Raptor base? Also the blue color you used, how acturate was it to the color you wanted? Did the raptor base alter the color at all? Any guidence would be great! I'm looking to do Sandstone/tan color and i'm just trying to get it right! Thanks again!

 

Awesome job man! How like did it take you with chiseling off the sound deadening material? I was thinking about tackling it with a screw driver and hammer myself. Recommend it?

 

I took the paint code to an auto parts store so it is the exact color of the exterior, and then mixed that with the raptor kit. I thought it was pretty accurate, it looks maybe a little lighter when compared to the actual exterior color, but I know with the texture it wouldnt be a 100% match. Since you will have to do a couple coats anyways if you dont like the color of the first coat, you can always add in a little more or less paint into your final coat to get the exact color you want.

Good Luck, you will be surprised how easy it is!

 

It took WAY too long doing it the way I did it with hammer and screwdriver. If I was to do it all over again I would of invested in or borrowed someones air chisel to speed up the process. I would definitely take the extra time to get that sound deadening goop out some how though, it looks so much better with it gone.

 

thanks for the information!! I'll let you know how it turns out!

 

Thanks! Yah I've decided to just go buy an air chisel! I'll let you know the turnout! I
Hope it looks as good as yours!

 

Could this be done with a grinder?

 

Probably, I used a grinder to grind off a few of the studs that were under the seats and in the back, but I found it is really easy to grind right into the tub, which is not all that thick. I guess if you were really careful and good with a grinder Im sure it would work. Ive read some other posts where guys used air chisels and even cut through the tub with those by accident

 

Skip the air chisel, that is what makes the dents you see on other peoples (I have two and they came in an instant) and get an air needle scaler instead. That is what I used after the two dents appeared. It worked better and forms to the metal without busting it up.

But I would say - skip that also. I didn't get the chance to try it until it was almost all gone, but when I hosed the chunks out and let it dry for a bit the remaining caulk in there was very soft instead of rock hard. I would try scoring the general areas with the hammer and screwdriver, through the paint is all - hose it with water a few times, and the caulking should be so soft it is easy.

Great job btw

 

What's it like in the winter? Did it change the interior temp at all?
