Painting your car with Upol Raptor

Well, It is not a Pajero, but I sold my Pajero long ago and I’m driving an old Landrover Discovery (1998, 300Tdi).

When I bought that old British SUV its painting was in really bad shape as you can see in the picture below:

I knew from the day I bought it that I would paint it, but wasn’t sure how.

A friend told me about the Upol Raptor and I liked the idea, the preparation is fairly easy, all you have to do is sand the varnish of the paint , clean it and your are ready to go.

You can choose the grain by changing the size of your spay gun nozzle size and the air pressure, I used 1.8mm spray gun & 28 PSI and sprayed 2 coats of paint.

I took me 3 bottles of paint.

Now, more than a year later, I can say that it really worth the money and effort. Highly recommended for DIY people who want to renew their car in their own yard.

Here are some pictures from the process:

Just before painting, cover everything that shouldn’t be painted…
