Gtrekker: Thank-you for the reply. The finish is a very fine texture finish. It does not show any finish of the MIC top. Hard to describe, but the best I can say it looks like very fine painted sand. Hope this helps. BJ.
Lex: Thanks for the reply. I did not use any UV rated Clear Coat. I will look for any change in the finish and if it does consider another coat of liner with a UV protector. BJ.
G8RNCO: Thank-you for the reply about my BigBend. At this time I am not considering the bumpers, flairs and the grill. I have a Hammerbuilt Spare Tire Support that I have painted Velocity Blue and plan on installing it this coming weekend. Thanks again, BJ.

Broadicustomworks: Dave: Thank-you for your comments about my top. I have read many of your comments and knowing that you do this for a living makes this retired LEO really feel god as to how the job turned out. BJ.
Bronkers: I used two liters of the Raptor Liner that came with the came with two cans of catalyst and 2 bottles of bright white color. I got the kit and the adhesion promoter from TCP Global (I have no connection to them). They shipped very fast. I also got one of their breathing filters and...
351W: Herb, I tried to get the Blue tape below the edge, and then as I was spraying I overlapped the edge of it. I did not remove the lift gate hinges, but just taped and sprayed around them. I will try to get some pictures if the edge tomorrow weather permitting. Thanks, BJ.
