This RAPTOR kit is one of the bedliner purchases in my catalog. My coating notes favored RAPTOR after the Rust-Oleum finish pooled, dripped and developed an uneven texture in places.
I bought U-POL RAPTOR 0820 Black Bedliner Kit as part of my camper van equipment.
This RAPTOR kit is one of the bedliner purchases in my catalog. My coating notes favored RAPTOR after the Rust-Oleum finish pooled, dripped and developed an uneven texture in places.
Carrying the Bedliner Result into the Next Coating Purchase
I spent around eight hours masking the van and covering the unpainted areas.
I sanded, blew away dust and cleaned the exposed bodywork before spraying white-tinted bedliner.
I removed the masking after drying and inspected the uneven areas and edges for touch-up.

My Takeaway from This Job
My notes favored RAPTOR after the Rust-Oleum finish pooled and dripped in places. The black 0820 kit and smaller RAPTOR package differ in supply size, while Herculiner changes to a roll-on kit rather than the same bottle-based package.
Product Details And Van-Build Uses
Specification
Product Detail
Model
UP0820 black kit
Kit Format
Four coating bottles and separate hardener
Mixing Ratio
3 parts RAPTOR to 1 part hardener
Application Family
Two-component protective coating
The original RAPTOR process guide covers preparation, mixing and several application methods. Its gun-application instructions identify a 3:1 coating-to-hardener ratio and treat texture as part of the application setup. That is a different product workflow from opening a 1K aerosol can. My recorded black lower-trim spraying, uneven-sheen observation and corrective roller coat remain part of the build story; this source information does not add a final black spray-gun hood application.
