Painting a car using Raptor is a popular method that is gaining popularity among car owners who want to give their car a unique look and reliably protect the body surface from damage. This material is a polyurethane paint, which is characterized by high strength and resistance to various external influences, otherwise such paint is called texture paint.
Let’s consider the main features of this method.
1. Durability and protection
Raptor painting provides reliable protection of the car body from mechanical damage, ultraviolet rays and chemicals. The textured surface of the material helps to hide various defects and scratches.
2. Easy application and removal
Unlike traditional methods of painting, the application of raptor does not require laborious work and excessive caution. And if you want to restore the original look of the car, the removal process also does not take much time and minimizes the risks of damaging the paintwork.
3. Unique appearance
The material is available in a variety of colors and can also be mixed with other pigments to create a custom design. The textured surface gives the car an aggressive and stylish look, which is especially appreciated among SUV and sports car enthusiasts.
4. Stress resistance
Raptor solutions have excellent adhesion and elasticity, which allows them to withstand mechanical loads and ensure the durability of the layer. Raptor also avoids the formation of corrosion, mold and rust due to its powerful hydrophobic effect. This makes Raptor painting an ideal choice for vehicles used in low or high temperatures and other extreme conditions.
5. Maintenance
Caring for a raptor-painted car is easy. It is enough to use ordinary detergents for cleaning. However, it is worth avoiding aggressive chemical compositions that can damage the composition. But if necessary, the surface can be easily and quickly restored.
The application takes place in several steps:
1. Preparation of the vehicle: removal of all necessary body elements and cleaning of the surface with a special solution and a soft sponge. Also, if available, removal of the old coating.
2. sanding and priming: to create an even surface, sanding paper with 240-400 grit is used. In some cases, especially if there is bare metal, it is recommended to apply a primer. This will add an extra layer of protection and improve the adhesion of the Raptor material to the body.
3- Masking: taping over any areas that do not need to be covered. This can be windows, wheels, door locks, and other items. Painting tape and protective films are used.
4. Preparation of the material: mixing the raptor to a homogeneous consistency and the desired shade.
5. Raptor application: Raptor can be applied with an aerosol can, spray gun or roller. To achieve an even coverage, it is best to use a sprayer. It is recommended to apply several coats to achieve the desired coating thickness, then each coat should dry before applying the next.
6. Completing the process: removing the masking after the raptor is completely dry, and then installing the parts. During inspection, if problem areas are found, an additional coat can be applied to those areas.
Thus, painting a car with Raptor is not only a way to improve its appearance, but also an effective method of protecting the body from external factors. This method will be an excellent choice for those who want to stand out on the road and keep their car in perfect condition for many years.
