Raptor Acid Etch Primer 1K Aerosol, Protective Automotive Etching Primer, Durable Spray Paint For Bare Metals, Gray, 13.2 oz

The raptor finish was great and still lasting, I am confident the primer is great as the liner is still adhered. I repainted some running boards that I did not strip the factory paint off of.

I used this to prep for the spray 2-part bedliner, worked as it should. Its been almost a year, everything is still holding up. Follow the instructions, and you're good to go.

The 2K bed liner spray is awesome. It's messy, so follow the instructions and wear protective gear, but the spray looks nice. Time will tell on wear-ability, but initially, I'm very happy with the DIY results on my steel bumpers, rock rails, and roof rack. I like the idea of the two component hardener that Raptor incorporates into the can. I used the Raptor acid etch primer prior to the bedliner. I also did the undercarriage using the Raptor undercarriage product as well. I think I'm a Raptor fan until proven otherwise. So far, so good.

Coverage was great after 2 light coats which increase durability overall. The color is scratch resistant and the Raptor gray match quality to the Stingray works well. Raptor dries quickly and was ready to install the next day. Long term durability is pretty impressive and scratches aren't to noticeable. Great product 👍

I bought the raptor bed liner kit and this was recommended before applying. I sanded down the bed and then sprayed this primer on the bare metal. Then applied the bed liner spray and it looks fantastic!

I got 2 cans of this to refinish some aluminum and both had the same issue that make it unusable if you want a nice finish. After meticulously sanding and getting the surfaces pristine, the finish was ruined by this product randomly spattering big droplets onto the perfectly smooth surface. The primer itself actually seems to work quite well. It seems like it may be a poor nozzle design kneecapping a good chemical product. It was used in optimal environmental conditions and shaken very well. The spattering happens throughout the whole use of the can. The nozzle seems to collect product as it sprays and then it falls into the stream and onto your project. It also has difficulty spraying with even a few degrees of downward angle.
