    I decided to Raptor lind my truck, tinted emerald jade mica. I don't want to spray it because I'd have to cover everything in my shop, can't have overspray on the machines plus I'm gonna do it as time permits. Nose, cab then bed. What did you use for a roller cover and how well did it lay down? I will do the jams later or maybe not at all. Did it go well? Thank you

    Visit www.monstaliner.com

    They have colors, product and hardware. As well as instructions and techniques.

    I know a couple folks who've used this and been very pleased with the durability.

    I don't know. But it shouldn't be hard to find out.

    The roller that comes with raptor liner kits leaves very sharp peaks.

    Would highly recommend spraying if you want a controlled finish

    The overspray isn't quite as bad as atomized paint. I did mine in the driveway and most of the little droplets are on the floor within 2 feet of the truck, but I would still cover what you can ofc. Primer might be a different story.

    I just Raptor lined my ARE DCU camper shell. I used the Raptor sprayer and over spray was minimal. The texture came out awesome but I got a lot of streaks so I’m probably going to have a buddy of mine hit it with satin black paint, not sure if rollers would be less streaky.
    Check out Custom Coat at TCP Global they have a ton of different colors for bed liner. Be aware the the coverage sucks with this stuff, it took 3 quarts to paint my shell.
    Here are the rollers you need

    My buddy did his rocker panels about 3 years ago and it came out great. Sprayed it, still looks good today.
