Just got my raptor liner and I was planning on rolling it on, but does it look better if sprayed? I was assuming due to the texture it wouldn't make much of a difference, but it seems like spraying is the popular application method. Thoughts?

 

I've have always sprayed the Raptor liner, but I have rolled other bedliners and it doesn't look nearly as good as the Raptor.

 

Spray it!
Just a couple notes on spraying raptor liner.
MASK MASK MASK. After you spray it, wait till it skims over and immediately unmask the jeep. If you don't the masking becomes part of your paint job.
Get back a little farther than when you spray regular paint. You get better coverage, and better texture the farther back you get.
Raptor liner will puddle in one spot if you are to close, and there won't be a good texture.

 

All good tips, I've sprayed many of our work trucks and rolled my own Jeep up to the beltline, and cannot agree more about spraying > rolling. To add to this, after you mask it, take either a scotchbrite pad or some 220-ish grit sandpaper and take the clearcoat off. It sticks MUCH better if you do that. Also, i would not use air straight from the compressor if you can avoid it, seems that the ~140 psi of our shop's unit is way to high for this stuff. We ran it through our drier and then to a regulator turned down to around 55psi while spraying and found that to work the best for us. If you have a helping hand, get them to start mixing the next can while you're spraying and then have them help you swap it over, and wear gloves, this stuff is nasty and won't really come off clothes or skin. When I did mine, I bought a couple of cheapy Tyvex suits with hoods and suited up before spraying and if you're indoors, a good respirator is a great idea too. Take 20-30 minutes between coats depending on temp and humidity and once you're done, get it cleaned off asap! Once that stuff dries, it was impossible to get off with normal cleaners we had around the shop. After talking to our paint guy, he recommended Klean-Strip part# KLN ENGC11131 to clean the gun. That stuff EATS through the liner, even if it's been dried on overnight. I used herculiner years ago to do the jeep and while I liked the texture better, it faded to a weird grey pretty quickly and I wasn't happy with it. The raptor liner on our work trucks have stayed black since we put it on, going on 4 years now.
