Hey,

I believe my defender to be painted in raptor paint (blue colour), I am rebuilding my seat box and belt area and want to paint them the same colour as the exterior but I am struggling to find the same colour in a simple spray can form, do they do spray cans?

If not what is the process of painting with raptor paint? It’s just seatbox, tunnel and foot wells that need painting.

I planned to use etch primer on all items first then do a coat same colour as exterior. Or even a grey or black would do I guess but can’t find that either?

Any other decent types of paint you guys tried and would recommend for hard wearing interior? I plan to have no carpets
 
Isn’t raptor a brand? Is your defender painted in stone chip or bed liner and over sprayed with something else perhaps?

The merkins seem to spray everything in bed liner.
 
Yeah raptor is the brand, couldn’t say exactly what it’s been sprayed with.

I’m thinking just going for black/grey instead to keep it easy. So suppose I’m wanting to know what’s best stuff to use that’s going to last? I don’t have access to compressor, proper guns or indoor area to spray so guessing my only real option is to spray can it
 
It might be the tintable version. Buy a ltr. Get some tint of the same blue, schultz gun and away you go. Could even roll it on

As @mick the builder , Raptor do a tintable version which works very well ]have used this a few times on car underbodies]. But, and it's a big but, Raptor is a 2k paint :. it has a lot of isocyanate which is highly carcinogenic; so be very careful if you go this route, you need proper fresh air feeds for 2k/isocyanates]. For ease, I'd recommend you either go Raptor 1k black spray can, or, if a std LR colour Paintman can supply proper LR enamel paint to brush paint or use a roller...or they also supply in spray cans.
