Cost of raptor coating tree sliders?
So I have been quoted £350 for the sandblasting and raptor coating of my tree sliders and rear ladder; is that reasonable? Sounds expensive to me, but I have nothing to base this on.
Any thoughts welcome.
Many thanks.

Had mine done for £200 all in, blasting was £50, Primer & Raptor £150. You can apply the Raptor yourself if wanting to keep costs downPaul.

I hope so, I'm going to try in a few weeks.
It looks easy enough in theory if you've got an air compressor to run a schultz gun.MY2022 D5 HSE D300 - with extra nice bits added

Not cheap but I doubt you would use all of itWhen you are dead, you do not know you are dead. All of the pain is felt by others. The same thing happens when you are stupid.

That's the kit I got, but a bit cheaper.
I also doubt that I'll use it all doing a set of sliders and compressor guard, so might be able to re-sell the leftovers if anyone wants them.MY2022 D5 HSE D300 - with extra nice bits added

You could get them dipped and galvanised which gets inside the tubes as well. The extra investment will make them last much longer. Applying the Raptor is very easy, it's very forgiving technique/finish wise.
