The Item in My Kit

I bought U-POL RAPTOR Two-Liter Black Bedliner as part of my camper van equipment.

My coating purchases include more than one RAPTOR package size. The two-liter kit sits beside the larger kit, while my diary records the substantial preparation work and the finish details that mattered on the van.

Comparing Package Size After the Preparation Work

  1. I taped the bodywork boundaries and covered the unpainted areas.
  2. I sprayed the prepared exterior with white-tinted bedliner.
  3. I inspected the finish after removing the masking and recorded the areas that needed touch-up.

My Takeaway from This Job

The preparation was a substantial job before any coating went on. My two-liter black RAPTOR purchase offers a smaller package within the range; the larger RAPTOR kit is a size variant, while Herculiner changes to a roll-on coating system.

Package size and application method are separate coating choices.

Product Details And Van-Build Uses

SpecificationProduct Detail
FormatTwo-component black urethane bedliner
PackageTwo-liter kit
Mixing3 parts RAPTOR to 1 part hardener

RAPTOR black bedliner uses a separate hardener, making mixing part of the coating job rather than simply opening an aerosol can. The manufacturer’s technical sheet covers surface preparation, mixing and application methods. For a van project, organize the masking boundaries, prepared panels and coating equipment before activating a batch. Bottle-kit spraying and roller application create different textures; the black coating system also remains a separate choice from automotive color paint and clearcoat.

How Does Bottle-Kit RAPTOR Differ From Aerosol Bedliner?

The bottle coating is mixed with its hardener before application. An aerosol is a separate product format with its own directions; its preparation and recoat instructions should be read separately.

Alternative products

Two Alternatives to Compare

The larger RAPTOR package is a size variant within the same range. The Herculiner kit is a separate roll-on coating option.

Questions from My Build

What Took the Longest Before Painting?

Taping the edges and covering the areas I was not painting took around eight hours.

What Problem Did I Record with the Bedliner?

The Rust-Oleum pooled and dripped in some areas, leaving an uneven finish that needed touch-up.
