Raptor Liner smells really bad. You need to wear a respirator or you will get sick!

The liner itself it doesn't smell bad it's the catalyst / hardener that's so toxic.

My garage smelled like high powered paint for two weeks after I sprayed it.
I have an attached garage as well and I was able to keep the smell out of the house no problem.
Use thick clear plastic and tape seal it to the house door. If possible, move the car out and line the floor of your garage with plastic as well. Anywhere the liner over spray touches, it stays.
Consider the clothes your wearing when garbage when your done.



It's a great product, no other bed liner comes close to the finish and ease of cleaning (once it drys).

Definetly has a strong smell. I wore a respirator, and it still seemed like I had problems breathing for about a week. The floor is definetly stained and clothes were ruined. I left the garage door open and the back door of the garage was open also to get a crossflow and I believed that helped a lot.

Well since I was busy spending money on other things over the holidays, I thought I would do some cheap work on the car. I grafted 69 parking lamps into a 68 standard lower valance. I was putting this off b/c I thought it would be pain to do, it really didn't turn out to be to difficult. It took me about 12 hrs or so to do. Here are some pics, I will post some pics when I finish up all the welding.

So, I am going to ask even though it may be a stupid question. Those mounts that you have for your lower four link bars and your coilovers... are they a universal mount or specific for one type of install. (Ie your generation camaro).

I am thinking of doing a coilover setup on the rear of my s-10 blazer. If I could find where I could get some mounts like that, it would be very helpful!:cheers:

I started on my exhaust today. I bought a pypes perfomance universal x-pipe, 4 90* bends, j-bend (used for dumps), 3.5"-3" reducers, and some v-band flanges, magnaflow race series mufflers. Everything is tacked up for now, I will take it to get tig welded. I also need to weld some hangers on.

Parts
