anyone ever clear coat their plastics?

[atvredefined]

hey, this may hav been posted before but has anyone clear coated there plastics! what brand did u use? i used polyurathane clear gloss and got a fantastic finish.

[Stoopidbot1]

I've done it on my old bikes! I used the same stuff.

[atvredefined]

wen u did it how longdid it last, and did u sand ur plastic?

[atvredefined]

ok thanks

[Stoopidbot1]

Lasted probably 2 seasons, No, I didn't rough mine up. I just cleaned the hell out of the plastic and did about 4-5 very thin coats.

[atvredefined]

did it fade or chip off, cause i sanded mine so it may prevent this, and did u brush on or spray?

[Stoopidbot1]

I just did spray. It eventually started to chip. Actually now that I think back, I used a clear coat specificly for plastic. Didn't require roughing up the surface.

[atvredefined]

but it was polurathane?

[Stoopidbot1]

I will have to look into it for you. I don't remember. This was about 3 years ago on a different machine that I no longer own.

I never understood this.....and just my opinion.....

And, maybe it's because I ride a lot of tight, woodsy trails....

I take care of my quad, and clean it religiously after every ride, but I know

I'll never take the time to get it close to "showroom clean" ever again....

If it ain't scratched, it ain't been ridden! LOL!!!!

Yeah...yeah....that's a generalization.......but I'm sticking to it!

That is totally understandable logic. After every ride I was the bike and polish the plastics. Not showroom condition but my rides always catch eyes when they are behind my truck or on the trail. I like my toys nice and shiny.

[atvredefined]

me too

[Guest]

I guess it's the other side of the same coin.....

I like mine looking like it's been ridden.....

Not making an argument, just different strokes for different folks...

HAH! QUAD HUMOR! AR! AR! AR! AR! HE SAID "STROKE" BEAVIS!!!!!!!

:woot:

No arguments at all! It's an opinion...Mine is just better! :woot:

[Stoopidbot1]

It's a 2 stroke, it probably just seized like most do over time.

no the right cylnder exhaust port chipped off and cought the piston rings and tore them off scratching the hell out of the cylnder wall. they were allready bored out to the max and could not be bored anymore and i did not fill like spanding the cash to buy new cylnders or have them resleaved.The banshee is a very high maintance quad unless it is stock, so im going for a yfz450. ohyea the banshee is not oil inj, u just add oil to gas.
