Yep it running like a dream now iv got the plug leads on right haha

 

Wheel arches all prepped and masked off.


Out with the underseal gun and tinted raptor stonechip:


and the wheel arches finally coated with 2 coats of raptor!!

 

I do love upol raptor
Proper tough stuff
Where’s the close up picture of the texture?

 

First time I’ve sprayed stonechip. Really easy I found.
It went further than I thought though, a bottle did all four wheel arches, so only needed 2 bottles for 2 coats.

I’ll grab you a texture picture tomorrow!

Raptor is actually marketed as a pick up truck bed liner
Upols underbody stone chip protection goes by the name of gravitex

Raptor is far tougher
The 4x4 guys spray entire vehicles with it
I have to admit coming close to painting my van in it

You can change the coarseness of the texture by altering the pressure you spray it at

 

Na, hers went on perfectly! That was my efforts.
She’s been back down there tonight helping to prep the underside for paint. It goes so much quicker with 2 doing it.

I did consider using my priming gun to spray it on but really like the textured finish out of the underseal gun (plus cleanup time was a lot shorter).

It is a great texture

 

Texture is good you can touch up stone chips with a brush and they disappear I love it i just jet wash of the bottom of the van and inspect. looking good as All ways m8

 

Promise you James they are the balls...
I fitted mine in '94, first mod I ever did.
One turn on the front and two on the back.
Fast forward 80,000 miles with no adjustments yet, the ride is as smooth as ever.
They drop then hold for the upward bounce gently evening the ride out.
Probably one of the best mods I ever did, and was only aftermarket anyway and reversible.

Noticed that the Koni logo has been radically updated..

 

That's going to win shows when you've finished with it.

 

Just for you @paradox.

Nothing exciting to take pics of today, Just scuffing up the underside ready for some Neptune blue tomorrow.
More bits from coolair for the running gear rebuild too.
