Not yet. I did wash her yesterday and I can say this stuff shows water spots just like a paint job. It feels like it would be easy to hose off or even scrub with a brush. More rough than slick.

Raptor liner on Hardtop Interior...
Looking at the options to do this and have seen it talked about within forums.
My specific question is in doing this, i already have my upsides to doing it, which is essentially to match the interior of JKU.
However, what are the disadvantages?
I'm not very experienced with the liner, so my initial thoughts are...the smell? will it keep heat inside or repel heat better and insulate?
I'm in AZ, so that is a 'hot' topic, becuase its very warm, most of the year, and for a few months of the year it's 100 degress or more.

Wonder if clear coat would bond to the Raptor liner, or if that would be an issue in itself??
I believe OP probably just used the U-Pol kit you can buy on eBay or Amazon....comes with the gun attachment. It's an easy process.

I've done the standard black as well as a tinitable kit- both came out nicely. The tint kit really did match pretty well, even to a metallic pearl color. I shot at 50psi if I'm recalling right. The higher you shoot, the less texture- again, if I'm remembering the directions right. First spray was a TJ tub and it came out nice. Next project was two full sets of poison spyder flares and they came out ok, could have been better if we were prepared to spray that much surface area. They had a fine enough texture but still got fairly dirty easily.

Y, I thought that having the coating be a little bumpier/chunkier, that I would gain a bit more grip/traction, but once that cures it's pretty slick regardless. I think 50-60psi is probably much more optimal in regard to looks.
