Default Tank Green Raptor Liner

I sprayed my 97 Cherokee with tintable raptor liner. I used the PGK tank green from the 2015-2018 Wranglers. Roughly 75 ml of tint per bottle of raptor liner (tint only, no binders added). What you see here is after 3 bottles. I ordered a 6 bottle kit and I have plenty left over. I may go back and touch up some spots once I can get it back out in the sunlight and give it a thorough look over. It was really easy to do. The hard part was all of the prep work.

What PSI did you use? I'm spraying the exterior of my TJ this spring and want a fine texture. I'm going tintable in Anvil.

I had my tool pressure set to 75. I used a 4.3 gallon air compressor so it was pretty much constantly running but it didn’t slow me down.

That looks good. Man I can't wait to do mine. How long did the prep take you?

I would probably guess around 12 hours of prep over a few days.

You can actually go to any shop that sells auto paint and have them mix up your color of choice for it. Just get the amounts from Raptor site or Google / YouTube it. There are tons of videos on mixing the tintable Raptor. It's on my to-do list soon as well.
