Hilux 4x4 Forum

Hi all,

I would like to share my experience of a product I stumbled across at one of the outdoor shows awhile back.
For quiet some time I had been looking for a tough reliable product to recoat or respray industrial road sweepers and scrubber drier floor machines. U-Pol Raptor has proven to be an excellent durable product for this application. So much so that I have even used it as walkway and demarcation paint in our workshop. I have since used this product on my trusty old steed, my 2006 Hilux.
The bin had never been rubberised, and over the years,the woven rubber mat had chafed through the paint and in some placed exposed bare metal. I decided to try the diy route and rubberise the bin myself using U-Pol Raptor.
These are the results:

Before - woven rubber mat Paint worn through to expose bare metal Prep work Sprayon etch primer used on exposed metal U-Pol Raptor applied using a stone chip gun The result
I was so chuffed wit the result that I decided to respray the standard fender flares as well. They had taken a hammering and were scratched badly.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to use a tough reliable coating on virtually any surface.

Take a look at their website for more details: http://www.u-polsa.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hi Greg

looks very good ,i have not read the specs for U Pol ,but some of the stone chips products are not water proof and over time the water will go through onto metal surface ,maybe apply some type of waterproofing component to stone chip
