Searched and searched but could not find the answer. If I were to buy U-POL Raptor in single bottles (not in the kit), does it come with the appropriate reducer? Also, if it doesn't come with the reducer, could I use any old urethane reducer?
Thanks,
Rick

Raptor doesn't come with reducer it comes with hardener.
The bottles of undercoat are filled to a certain level and you add hardener to a line in the bottles, shake well and then spray. My jobber sells the 4 bottle kit, with hardener and gun to spray it with for $107. If you only use one bottle the rest will be there when you need them. I don't know if anyone sells single bottles with hardener. My guess is they are selling left over bottles from kits and you will still need to buy the hardener. 1968 Coronet R/T

Thanks. Hardener is the added part. I have seen single bottles around but never could figure out if they came with the hardener. $107 for the 4 bottles is a heck of a deal.

Will any other hardener work or do you have to use the U-Pol hardener?

Other urethane hardeners will work as long as that hardener is used in a 3:1 mixing ratio. And yes you can reduce no more than 10% with a urethane reducer.
I have used Valspar HPC1 in the raptor liner. And I reduce for different textures But I don't recommend going over 5%. I have also used retarder in it for very large areas to keep it wet so I don't get dry edges I don't recommend playing with the ratios or different hardeners. If you're not doing anything bigger than a bed of a truck and it's not over 80 degrees you shouldn't need reducer. Experienced Trained Certified
