Comments: Bought the spray gun and tintable raptor liner. Sprays real nice. I have used other do it yourself so far this is by far the best for the money. Tinted mine charcoals gray. Have had it for a year and seems to be holding up great.

Price: $112.00 Pros: Easy to use. Holds up great. Cons: Smells for a while Recommended? Yes
Comments: The key is in the prep work. The more time you spend here the better. Also I found that a 3-5 gallon compressor works fine in spraying the liner. I think Upol recommends using a larger compressor (for higher CFM). Spraying is easy, just be careful not to tip the gun too much or some might drip out.
Overall, fantastic product.

Price: $121.00 Pros: Very easy to use with great directions. GREAT PRODUCT! Cons: Did not come with an air compressor male connector. Its okay though because I could get one from lowes for $2.
Also, be careful when you go to take the bottle off to exchange for a new one. Do not take it off at an angle because you could break the thin, metal straw on the gun. Even though there are two cons, I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Recommended? Yes
Comments: I bought U-Pol Raptor which included 4 bottles of liner, a can of hardener, and the spray gun. All of this costed 120 dollars which inlcuded shipping. I had never sprayed bedliner before and doing on a Jeep, I thought, would be difficult. I was so wrong! All I did was sand the Jeep tub a little, just to scratch the surface after I removed all of the inside hardware. I then tape up the tub to prevent the bedliner from going on the outside of the tub. I read the easy instructions and I hooked up the gun and liner/hardener bottle and sprayed the liner. In 10 minutes I had a nice layer of bedliner and it looked great! In an hour it was completely dry (fyi I did it outside, with the sun to help the drying process). I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a bedliner that anyone can do for cheap.
My only two cons: No air compressor connector and the thin metal straw on the gun.
I went to lowes and got a air compressor male connector for two dollars. No problem. But my biggest thing is the meatl straw on the gun that goes into the bottle. Please, please everyone, be careful when removing the bottle off of the gun to get a new one. Do not bend or break the straw or you will not be able to spray any bedliner correctly. You will have to turn the gun upside-down and spray while making a huge mess, which could ruin the whole thing. I still give it 5 stars because I will always use this product if I ever need to spray a bedliner.

Price: $120.00 Pros: Easy to use, good price, very durable once on, looks great Cons: Prep work takes time Recommended? Yes
Comments: The only downfall to doing this is the prep work, but if you take the time to do it right, results will be terrific. Very pleased with this purchase, kit came with spray gun and was enough to lay a thick coat through interior of jeep tub, as well as below floor boards of tub, and rear of tub, and my metal secure-a-trunk thing.

Price: $150.00 Pros: Comes with a spray gun Cons: None Recommended? Yes
Comments: I have never sprayed anything before with a spray gun. This sytem was simple to use even for me. Take the canisters and pour in a little hardner, screw it onto the gun and then spray. Too easy! It turned out great!

Price: $109.99 Pros: Easy to apply. Durable. Looks great Cons: Smells. The included gun has a little hole in the top and it is easy to spill a little out on your project if you aren't careful. Difficult to know which product includes the gun and which does not. Recommended? Yes
Comments: I put this on my grill, headlight bezels and interior. It was very easy to apply and appears to be quite durable. I let it cure for 48 hours before I attempted to reinstall my interior. Also, it is important to remove and masking tape within an hour of applying your last coat.
It took me one box and one extra bottle to do the complete project.
Spend double the amount of time prepping that you think you will need.

Price: $111.00 Pros: Ease of use, great end result, deec price Cons: you need to have an air compressor capable of maintaining at least 40 psi Recommended? Yes
Comments: With all of the DIY liners out there, its hard to tell the difference between the great, and the not so great. After seeing Herculiner, Monstaliner, Duplicolor, and U-Pol Raptor each in person, I knew that Raptor was the way to go. It doesnt fade, looks consistent, and has a great texture. Although the end result is 90% dependent on prep work, it doesn't hurt to have an awesome product. Props guys

Price: $100.00 Pros: Easy to apply with the included spray gun
Novice painters can provide a professional-looking finish
Appears to be durable, but not yet time-tested Cons: Hardens quickly inside the bottle; must apply entire bottle in single application or material will gunk up and block your spray gun Recommended? Yes
Comments: Product applied easily and covered well on the first coat. You would have to try real hard to mess up the application. This was my first attempt with a spray gun and I got a very nice professional finish. So good, in fact, I didn't reinstall the carpet. It dried quickly and was ready for additional coats within about 30 minutes. It looks great and appears to be durable, but you'll need to ask me in a year to see how it held up. One word of caution...once mixed with the hardener, the material thickens quickly. I had about half a bottle left after my second coat and let it sit for about 30 minutes to dry. When I tried to reapply to touch up some areas, the gun failed to work. The material had already gunked up in the bottle and clogged my spray gun. The remaining material was totally wasted and I have to dismantle the gun and clean with solvent before I could start again.

Price: $125.00 Pros: durable, looks good, easy to apply Cons: pain to prep for spray in. Also be prepared for more road noise and heat from the floor after you do this. Recommended? Yes
Comments: Raptor liner spray in bed liner is everything the other threads on this forum say it is. Sure it's a pain to prep for spray in - but the more prep you do the better the end result. My biggest problem was getting the trox screws out of the roll cage mounts. Ended up grinding about 1/2 of them down on the sides and using vise grips on the sides. Spray in was easy with the included undercoating gun, but you do NOT want to get this stuff anywhere other than the tub of your jeep. Of course, the floor is now hotter and louder than with the carpet and pad, but it's a Jeep  Plus is sure is easier to clean now

Price: $100.00 Pros: looks better, protects the tub when the carpet is out Cons: prep is the key, take your time Recommended? Yes
Comments: Much better looking than the bare tub when I take the carpets out in the non-winter months. Prep work is important. I didnt do it as well as I should have so I occasionally need to touch up spots that chip off after a hard hit. Dont tip the gun when spraying with a full bottle, it will spill out.
Overall, I love it.

Price: $104.00 Pros: Easy install, great finish Cons: None. Recommended? Yes
Comments: I love this product. I made the mistake of trying to use up the left over by thicking up some high traffic areas (mostly the floor pans). I dont think that was a good idea. It cracked in one area where I put it on real thick. I also could have done a poor prep job in that area, but who knows.... Still think it was a great product, I think the problem was my fault. The good news is that with the rough texture finish I can fix and blend my repair in very well.
I only used three of the four bottles that came with the kit. Had I known that, I would have had some other projects prepped and ready to be sprayed (wheel wells, frame undercoat, etc.).

Price: $87.89 Pros: easy to put in. Nice and solid once it cures Cons: Smells nasty Recommended? Yes
Comments: Take your time masking. Makes all the difference. And do not put in seats until it is fully cured (about 3 days). It is easy to pull up until its cured.

Price: $115.00 Pros: Easy to mix, easy to spray, durable, great spray pattern Cons: Kind of smelly but goes away after about 2 weeks. Recommended? Yes
Comments: I was reading the threads across the forum about the Upol Raptor liner and decided this was the one I wanted to go with. I purchased it on ebay and had it at the door within a week. It came with easy to follow directions, I used 60psi to spray the liner in with. I put the seats back in 2 days later. I've had it in for about 3 weeks now and it is still a tad smelly in the jeep but I'm sure it will be completely gone soon. Good product overall and would recommend to all

Price: $110.00 Pros: Very Very Easy to use Cons: Non So far Recommended? Yes
Comments: Prep work is the key. I spent approx 15 hours sanding and cleaning and then another 3 hours taping and laying plastic. The first bottle went ALOT quicker than I realized. Adjusted the air pressure a little on each additional bottle and it seemed to last alot longer. I would recommend using a measuring cup for the hardening agent. I like to cook so eyeballing something isn't an issue, but pouring a clear liquid into black goo in a black bottle concerned me.
In all the finished product looks amazing. Well worth it...IMO.
