Product Information
Full details
The U-Pol Raptor Schutz Spray Gun is an essential tool for professional body shops and automotive enthusiasts who demand a consistent, high-quality application of protective coatings. It is specifically engineered to provide uniform coverage for Raptor bed liner and other undercoating products, ensuring a durable finish that resists wear and tear. While it excels at heavy-duty applications, users should be aware that it requires an external air compressor to function, making it less suitable for small, portable touch-up jobs without the proper pneumatic setup.

FAQs
What type of air compressor do I need?
You need a compressor capable of maintaining consistent air pressure appropriate for the specific coating you are spraying. Refer to the coating label for PSI requirements.
Can I use this gun with standard US-threaded bottles?
The gun features European threading. You may need an adapter if you intend to use bottles with a different thread pattern.
How do I clean the gun after use?
Immediately flush the gun with a compatible solvent while the coating is still wet. Do not allow the material to cure inside the nozzle or fluid path.
Is this tool suitable for painting fine details?
No, this is a Schutz-style gun intended for heavy protective coatings, bed liners, and undercoatings. It is not designed for fine-detail automotive painting.
Does the gun come with a warranty?
U-Pol products are generally backed by manufacturer standards; please check your specific point of purchase for local warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Spray pattern is inconsistent or sputtering
Check your air compressor pressure and ensure the hose is not kinked. Also, ensure the coating bottle is screwed tightly onto the gun to prevent air leaks.
No material is coming out
The nozzle may be clogged with dried material. Remove the tip and flush it with solvent, or check that the siphon tube is not blocked.
Air is leaking around the bottle connection
Verify that the European threading is fully engaged and that there is no debris on the threads of the bottle or the gun.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Sturdy construction built for heavy-duty use

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the gun, connect it to your air compressor hose using a standard quick-connect fitting. Ensure the air pressure is set within the recommended range for the specific coating you are using. The gun utilizes European threading, so ensure your coating bottles are compatible before starting the project.
Care and maintenance are critical to the longevity of the tool. After every application, flush the internal fluid passages with a compatible solvent (such as lacquer thinner or the manufacturer-recommended cleaning agent) to prevent the coating from hardening inside the nozzle. Disassemble the front nozzle assembly periodically to remove any built-up residue, and lubricate the trigger mechanism to ensure smooth operation.
