The Raptor liner states it's "UV resistant" The Elk is stored in a garage , so I really can't say on if it fades or not. true test will be Pebbles Bed as shes to big for my Garage so gets beat by the desert Sun 24/7
hopefully it holds up .
Raptor is about $100 for a box (4 bottles and hardner)
I sprayed my Wifes El camino bed with the Black raptor and then she wanted the outside done in Blue tinted Raptor .
So far so good , it's tough stuff and everything I read on it was positive . Key is the prep work !! must be a clean surface and lots of sanding for it to bite too .

Good Job Mike. It looks excellent.
You know, that front end reminds me of an old Cadillac El Dorado. With a custom bumper treatment.
I am considering doing my 66 bed, did you have any issues with the epoxy primer and the Raptor sticking over the last few months? My bed is like yours, lovingly used, and dented, and I am not making a show truck so, I plan to sand, prep and Raptor liner the bed.
after sanding a "washed " the bed with de greaser and red scotch brite pads to get any residue and grease /oils etc out hosed it out then dried with a bunch of old towels .
sprayed two good coats of epoxy let flash (dry) till I could touch epoxy with out feeling sticky , then shot Raptor liner . should have a great chemical and mechanical bond .
It looks excellent.
