I picked up the Raptor BL kit for about $120 shipped, showed up the next day...so that's a plus. It came with its own spray gun...another plus.

I didn't do my bead, its already done. But I did do my front and back bumpers, and my steps.

Obviously prepping is important...I don't have to cover that. I did make sure it had a nice clean surface and was scuffed enough for good adhesion.

Kit is stupid simple to use and goes on really easy...the texture looks amazing, dry time is fast (to touch). Its honestly looks amazing... I'm going to be redoing my rockers with this stuff.

Only time will tell how strong or how long this stuff will last...so I'll update as time goes on. But after 2 hours of drying, I was taking my steps to the truck to mount them, hit the step on the garage (wasn't paying attention)...it didn't chip, smear, nothing.

Impressed so far. Kits came with enough to do a bed and bed rails. I was able to do both bumpers and steps using less than half of what the kit came with.

It's a great liner, we used to sell it out of the Napa store I worked at.
Few people I know used it and never had a complaint about it.

Your results look just as good as theirs did!

I think you'll be very pleased overall with this product!

Looks like you layed it on nice and even! That's what counts!
My friend did his homemade flatbed with this product about 3 years ago.
They use the hell out of the truck and it still looks brand new.

Always good to hear that. Only thing I'm worried about is the steps. The get beat with crap from the tires all the time, so we shall see.

I'm ready to bed line more ****! Lol

Neighbor wants me to do his rear bumper and I got a buddy that needs his front bumper done

Got them installed...very pleased but upset at the same time. Bumpers make my rockers look like **** lol

Once I get back from Wisconsin I'm going to do my fender flares and rockers.

And after about 24 hours of drying...you can really tell this stuff is solid just from the feel of it.

A+ UPOL Raptor

I like the look of that on the bumpers I want flat black on my bumpers and rockers and kind of like that idea. How much weight did it add to the bumpers? How many coats you do? Sorry if I missed any of those questions.

It didnt add much weight at all. Maybe 1-2 lbs per bumper.

And I just did one solid coat, laid it on pretty thick. Good thing about this stuff is it doesn't run as easy as spray paint...you can do more than one coat, but requires 1 hour dry time between coats...I'm to impatient and once I saw how thick it can go, I opted to one coat

I've already got people lined up to bedline them... One guy rockers, two guys want bumpers done, got one that wants his whole bed done. So I'm gonna get to know this stuff pretty well.
