I don't have any long-term results to share. I sprayed it on my 68 as well, but it sits in the garage most of the time and never hauls anything. It's definitely not as thick or glossy as Line-X or Rhino, but will do just fine for a hot rod. I expect very little fading will happen as it dries to a fairly dull finish as a result of the spray method. You can thin it and spray with HVLP for a smoother and glossier finish.

Y'all did a great job on the floor! I think I'll go with Raptor also if I stay with a steel floor. (preference is wood)

Raptor liner looks good. I picked up the same stuff from my dad’s store a few months back and have been itching to spray it. I intended to do the bed floor with it, but now I’m leaning towards paint.

Does it seem like it’ll be pretty durable? I’m planning on spraying the underside of the hood and the underside of the wheel tubs with it.

Project looks like it’s off to a great start!

I honestly haven't tried any destructive testing on it, but I can tell you that it dries hard as a rock. It's not rubbery like some bedliners.

We managed to get the other side of the hood and tubs and both sides of the doors and cowl in primer Saturday.

Also pulled the cover on the rear end and was surprised to see 2.76 gears. The SPID says 3.07 but it rarely matches actual conditions. This explains why the truck was a little underwhelming on acceleration. We've got 3.42 gears and a limited slip diff on the way.

It was 70* here Saturday afternoon and then the storm came yesterday and started out as rain in the 50's and temps dropped to 30* and 4" of snow by the evening. Definitely unusual for this early in the season, but it's needed to help slow the fires.

Thanks for the info. I may need to try it out....
