Spray bombing interior/floor advice

Spray bombing interior/floor advice
If you are going the custom color route and mix in your own paint, get it a shade or two darker. The clear version has a hit of lightness to it. The paint I used was a perfect match with the seats when dry but when mixed with the raptor, it was lighter after it dried/cured. Just enough to aggravate me after all of the work but I don't mind it as much anymore. No one else notices.

I did the side panels as well, just up to under the tub lip. I've seen some do the upper outer edge of the tub sides for where the hard tops and doors make contact.
 
I don't get much time to work on it so it'll probably be a week between primer and raptor liner so I'll scuff it up with a red scotchbrite. Have to finish the floor pans and take care of this where the driver floor pan meets the rocker while I have the pan out:

Since mine is a hard top/hard door I might as well do the top edges but should probably wait until after paint next year. I don't know if it will come out right trying to tape off the liner and paint up to it???

Thanks for the tips!
 
FWIW - I looked at the FAQ for Restore 10X and found this:

  • 5. What surfaces can I apply Restore 10X Advanced Resurfacer to?

    Wood: Restore 10X Advanced Resurfacer should only be applied on horizontal, structurally sound wood and most composite surfaces. . .
    Concrete: Restore 10X Advanced Resurfacer should only be applied to horizontal and structurally sound broom swept or porous concrete.

    NOT FOR USE ON: Smooth or floated concrete, fiberglass, tile, and metal surfaces. These surfaces will not allow for proper adhesion. Do not use on driveways, garages, or other areas with vehicular traffic.
 
Yesterday I sprayed 2 coats of Eastwood epoxy primer followed by 2 coats of raptor liner. I'm very pleased with the results. I was hoping it was a little thicker and would blend the gap between the new floor pans lapped on the original floor.

Prepped via sandpaper, wire wheel, etching primer, Eastwood rust encapsulator where needed:

I'm glad you all talked me into doing it right, took a lot of time but well worth it!
 
Really looks good! You should be pleased / proud of it... Well done.
 
Sprayed my U pol raptor liner about a month ago and love it. Very easy to do.

Thanks! I have some new seats to go back in it, just have to paint the sport bar, seat brackets, door latches and Transmission tunnel cover before re-assembly.
