Painting Your Plastics...

[axlr8]

There was one member that I thought sanded and then clear coated to bring back the new look.
I do have an 026 I would like to paint some weird color.
I will race all your sleds with my 1976 Arctic Cat Pantera 5000 F/A:tongue2:This is a pic of my parts sled,my rider is a lot nicer.

Pic dont work!

Still looking for someone who is willing to paint.. or some one who is willing to talk me through this. I.. Just dont wanna fudge up.

If i dont get a solid answer, im gonna try the adhesion promoter, and then some pink engine enamel. And then I will have the shop clear coat that..

:msp_wub: '97 XC600 tripple . Faster than my riding buddies (2) '98 Ski Doo formula 600's and a 98 ZR600.
And , I outweigh them by at least 50 lbs .
These old Polaris tripples pull super hard from 5500 to 8400 , I was very surprized , and I only have peanuts invested . :msp_wink:

There is only one p in triple... Something must be wrong with your buddies' '98s, because the XLT motor is way down on technology and power from the beginning. I'm a Polaris guy too, but I'll admit that an '87 Indy 600 will make more power than an XLT. Now if you have a '97 XCR 600 SE with HTG 1000 cylinders and pipes, well then good for you!

that ZR600 should be checked over... them things pull... but I agree, no way that XLT should be winning...IF it is stock...

I did this one in krylon fusion a few years ago. The paint around the gas tank has held up well too. I used the same paint over the plastic and metal, with primer only on the metal.

I painted this 480CD Husky awhile back with enamel.Don't know how it held up,I sold it.

That is kinda a girly way to ride a sled:hmm3grin2orange:
I painted the black on this hood and belly pan with bed linner paint:msp_w00t:

You cant say 'snowmobile or sled' without telling me what you ride. :msp_wub:


I have a few. but My toy is a 1995 Cat.. A soon to be 144 (or 153?) ZRT 1004 Triple.. AAANNND a belt drive should be arriving here soon..


Its my thread.. I can derail! :taped::taped: :msp_w00t::msp_w00t:

Another Cat owner!! my signature will state what sled I run.... unfourtantly I'm jumping ship to a Polaris IQR hopefully. However my 02 I think will become a restoration project since there is only 500 of those out there. lol

If you guys have never seen Slednecks 5 Chris Burandt rode 2 of these sleds. One was his buddy's 730 Speedwerx SX, and one is Chris's personal D&D 720. Only 150-200 came with either 730 Speedwerx motors, or D&D 720 motors from the factory. The way you can tell is by the pipes, Speedwerx has the traditional Firecat looking twin pipe setup,and D&D made their pipes go around, not up and over the motor.

View attachment 279153I painted the plastic hood, grill and side panels on my old cub last year with Rustoleum Appliance epoxy. Amazon.com: Rust-Oleum 7881830 Appliance Enamel 12-Ounce Spray, White: Home Improvement It's not a very good job and not a good picture but it hasn't cracked or pealed.

IDK if it's stock . I just got it running , and rode for the first time saturday . I do know it has fresh rings , and >120lbs. per slug . The friend I got it from re-ringed it , but never mentioned any other mods . He just said " it's real fast" . He previously had another identical xc600 , and said this one is much faster than the other one . Maybe it's that 1 in 100 that just is a little better ? Maybe it thinks it's an Arctic Cat ? Who knows ?
I havn't owned a sled since 1992 , and was ALWAYS a Cat man , but this guy really wanted my Blaster for his teenage daughter . So...... the even trade was made :msp_w00t: :msp_w00t:
