kvnkrk Posted October 24, 2009 #1 Posted October 24, 2009 I decided to do a total rebuild of this quad. It needed all new bearings and I figured I would give it some paint and rebuild the engine. Well at least new bearings and top end but not for sure yet because I have not tore the motor down yet. Got the frame and a few small partst primed so far. I'll post some pics later today.
outlander560 Posted October 24, 2009 #2 Posted October 24, 2009 great to hear you started a project thread cant wait to see it finished.
kvnkrk Posted October 25, 2009 Author #3 Posted October 25, 2009 Well so far this is what has been done to it. Got the a-arms and swingarm primed too.

kvnkrk Posted October 25, 2009 Author #7 Posted October 25, 2009 Thanks man I was trying but just could'nt get it. Thought I had it but then seen it did'nt go.
kvnkrk Posted October 27, 2009 Author #8 Posted October 27, 2009 This is after I got the clearcoat on it. Painted the swingarm a yellow/gold as well as the A-arms.
kvnkrk Posted October 30, 2009 Author #10 Posted October 30, 2009 Here is somthing I threw together to get an idea of what it is gonna look like.
DirtDemon Posted November 3, 2009 #11 Posted November 3, 2009 Looks good, what did you use to paint the plastic?
kvnkrk Posted November 3, 2009 Author #12 Posted November 3, 2009 I used some bumper paint so it would be flexible. Don't know for sure if it is gonna last though but looks good until I get it in the woods and run it for a while. Paint may chip off don't know yet.
DirtDemon Posted November 5, 2009 #13 Posted November 5, 2009 That should work better that the Krylon fusion I used to paint one of my quads. That stuff started rubbing and chipping off after the first ride. There is some kind of rubberized paint that one of the members used on thiers, I can't remember what it was called or what forum it was mentioned in, but it sounded like good stuff.
outlander560 Posted November 5, 2009 #14 Posted November 5, 2009 it was called plastic dip....good stuff but i have only found it in one color...flat black
kvnkrk Posted November 5, 2009 Author #15 Posted November 5, 2009 I am hopeing that my paint won't chip but if it does I will just blast it all off and use some colored bed liner on it. Will be very durable then! At least I think it would work. Update on quad- Pulled case apart today and found out that not only is my connecting rod bad but so is the crankshaft itself had a couple teeth broke off of the timing cog. Just ordered one on ebay that looked good for 130.00. Now I have to get started on repairing my left center case and do some tapping on some threads.
DirtDemon Posted November 9, 2009 #16 Posted November 9, 2009 it was called plastic dip....good stuff but i have only found it in one color...flat black Flat black works well for me, didn't you say you got it at Home Depot or something?
