Product Information
Full details
The U-Pol Raptor Protective Coating (1000ml kit) is designed for automotive enthusiasts and DIY professionals who need a rugged, durable finish for smaller vehicle parts or localized repairs. Its primary benefit is the creation of a high-performance, impact-resistant barrier that protects against scratches, chemicals, and extreme weather, though it is important to note that this specific 1L kit is best suited for targeted applications rather than entire vehicle spray-overs.

FAQs
Does this kit include the spray gun?
This specific 1000ml kit (RLB/S1-2KIT) typically serves as a top-up or small-project pack; verify your specific retailer's inclusions, as many 1L kits do not include the applicator gun.
Can I apply Raptor over existing paint?
Yes, but you must scuff the existing paint with 80-180 grit sandpaper to ensure proper mechanical adhesion.
How long does it take to cure?
The coating is touch-dry within a few hours, but it requires roughly 7 days for a full, maximum-strength chemical cure.
Can this be applied with a brush?
While it can be rolled or brushed, the texture will be significantly different compared to spraying, and it is primarily engineered for spray application.
Is it UV resistant?
Yes, the Raptor protective coating is highly UV stable and resistant, making it suitable for exterior vehicle parts.
What is the pot life of the mixture?
Once the hardener is added, the mixture should be used within approximately 60 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature.
Troubleshooting
Coating not adhering to the surface
Ensure the surface was sanded properly to provide a mechanical key and thoroughly degreased before spraying.
Inconsistent texture
Adjust the air pressure on your spray gun and ensure the nozzle is clean; higher pressure generally results in a finer texture.
Coating remains tacky after 24 hours
Check your mixing ratio; improper ratio of hardener to base will prevent the 2K formula from curing correctly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely high resistance to impact and scratches
- Excellent chemical and water resistance
- Professional, durable matte black finish
- Easy to use for localized touch-ups or small part coating
- Provides reliable rust protection
Cons
- Requires proper surface preparation for adhesion
- The 1000ml volume is limited to small projects
- Once the two components are mixed, pot life is limited
- Demands specific spraying equipment for optimal texture
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper adhesion, surfaces must be cleaned, degreased, and scuffed with sandpaper before application. Once the 2K hardener is added to the 1000ml base, the mixture should be agitated thoroughly. Apply using a dedicated Schutz gun to achieve the signature textured look, keeping consistent pressure and distance from the target surface. For care, avoid aggressive high-pressure washing for at least 48-72 hours after application to ensure the chemical cross-linking process completes. Once fully cured, the coating can be cleaned with mild automotive soaps and soft brushes.
