I am not familiar with glass tubs. What is the benefit to spraying the Raptor liner on the bottom? Chip resistance?

That looks really good. I see you made your front inner clip removable. I did the same thing and it sure makes the access to the engine compartment a whole lot easier. I am getting ready to do the raptor liner as well so if you have any tips, they would be appreciated. Ken

If you're doing tintable, get several cheap measuring cups. There isn't enough room in the bottle for the hardener and paint to mix in so I found myself mixing in the cup and pouring in.

IT GETS EVERYWHERE. and is sticky. Wear protection and clear areas you don't want overspray on.

Clean the gun between bottles.

Start with the tight/harder to reach spaces. usually don't finish the best as you have to get close.

If possible, stand your items vertical to spray. Makes the job muchhhhh easier.

You'll need more than you think. I used 8 bottles on the bottom tub, hood, inner fenders, and front clip.

You have a build thread out there? Always like to see other fiber builds

Thanks for the tips. I will be doing mine on the rotisserie so it will be upright when I do it. I am only doing the inside floor pan and I got 4 bottles and a pint of tint and microsphere beads that will all get mixed together. I hope that will be enough. I am not building a glass body and don't have a build thread. I usually post things as I get done with them. Thanks again, Ken

It's Hott outside, but done.

As a FYI, I used 8 bottles on the inside tub and tailgate. Those who say they only used 4 are crazy.

Started working on my dash and cutting holes into a perfectly good dash...

What else am I missing other than Ignition, Lights, Wipers, and AC unit?

Mounted the font clip and clamped fender to see how close I am with the door. Minor adjustments on the door needed, some sanding on the fender in the near future.

I haven't done it yet. Been getting the body ready for paint. Will probably get it ready to paint then do the liner just before I shoot the exterior. I'll probably order 4 more bottles as I have 4 and don't want to get in the middle of it and run out. Yours looks really nice. Ken
