Re: 1969 Short Wide
Man that looks great! Soo cool how you can tint the stuff. Really like what you did on the lower bed sides too. Sharp!

Really diggin the raptor finish. I dont know anything about the raptor product. Ive seen it posted here and there, but since Im not to that point I havent researched it. How did you get the tint so close to the actual color of your paint?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Looking awesome! I need to make sure I coat mine with some raptor also. Sometimes I get ahead of myself and skip steps.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Really smart idea coating the inside with Raptor. That and a garage will keep this puppy around for years to come.
Looking great, Mike.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Mike, great work! That's what I want to do to my Longhorn's bed floor too. I probably won't go to the extent you did with the dent removal on the floor because I still want to try to use it like a truck. I know If I make it super nice, I'll never put anything in the bed.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I just found your thread. So far I've only gone back a few pages, but I've got a lot of reading to do... I'll be caught up in a few days
I like the tinted raptor liner. How hard is it to spray? What sort of air pressure are you using/need? What about the gun, did you use a special gun or just a large tip hvlp? I like what I'm seeing on the last few pages. Keep up the good work.

On the Raptor liner, I bought my kits on eBay for around $120 shipped, You can buy it at TCP or Amazon or even your local Oreilly's can order it. Kit comes with the Shutz type spray gun and 4 liters of urethane. I have been spraying at around 60psi. I also reduce mine a little which seems to make lay a little less lumpy. LINK |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Looking awesome! Are you going to weld the bedside to the floor at the tailgate end like the factory did?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
That Raptor looks great! Very uniform job Mike! For the Raptor tint, I've read some actually mix it up a little darker, since it shoots a little lighter. I still have some I never used after purchasing a while back, now, after seeing your work, I think I'm going to copy you and your bedside coating. Nice. Are you shooting the underside of the tubs with Raptor?

Yes, I will be sanding the paint off in the areas that are to be welded. Just like the factory did. I taped that area off to avoid the raptor there too. Once I get the bed assembled squared up and tailgate fitted, I will weld her up and repaint that area. Hope it goes as planned. Quote:
edit: BTW, In hindsight it would have been far easier to replace the front panel, cross braces and install a nice wood floor like you did. I don't know how much money I spent salvaging these rough metal panels? but I would have been done with the bed long time ago. These are the things we learn as we go. I'm pretty dang tight with the budget but as you can tell from the length of the build, I have plenty of time. Would I do it over? Probably

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I got the sand through fixed. Sanded the whole tub with 1000 then had to re-apply base coat in the bad spot. I let it set up over night then wet sanded that area to level it out. Next I re-shot two more coats of clear.
It looks orangy in the strange light but we all know it's RED

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I'm envious! Any scuffin between the clear coats? Are you still going to cut and buff that?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Hey Mike! I'm fixin' to get ready on choppin my bed sides and wondered if you could sneak me a couple photos of them square holes along the bottom (spacing). Up at #1353 there's a good view of the row in front of the wheel tubs but I can't quite make out the ones behind. I'd like to take my sections where I can cut out some crud in the skin but want them holes to wind up where they oughta be. Not that I couldn't fill any wrong ones and make new ones, but it'd sure be easier to just section it just so. Paint is really looking good man. My eyes are peeled on the assembly and final. I think you've changed my way of thinking on how to go about it.

No scuffing between coats on the clear. "Most" activated paints and clears can be top coated up to 24 hours before scuffing is required. Quote:

Re: 1969 Short Wide
X2! Nice fab work!
What do you reduce Raptor with? Do you need to do that where you want it "pretty"?

I think, and I may be wrong but it seems temperature sensitive too. The cooler temps like we have had lately make it less "pretty". It's pretty thick anyway but when it's 95 in the summer it seems to flow and lay prettier. Ya know. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
