Damn that turned out awesome. Good work Neil!

[@OffroadTrolls]

Thanks! It was a TON of work and a lot of VERY late nights, but the results are worth it.

[@TALENTLESSOFFROAD]

@@OffroadTrolls Can't wait to see it in person up at silver lake.

[@OffroadTrolls]

@@TALENTLESSOFFROAD me too, I’m going to get in the passenger seat and refuse to get out until he make a hit LOL

[@Simracing25]

It came out great. Hats off to you guys on all the hard work as it came out looking better than any video could show. The next video showing how to paint a sxs and texture type plastics I think will be helpful for those guys that may want to try this at home.

[@OffroadTrolls]

I still smile every time I see it!

[@nolimit4730]

Draco is looking sharp

[@OffroadTrolls]

Thanks! It turned out great for sure!

[@mariotraci]

Very nice

[@OffroadTrolls]

Thanks!

[@shane97075]

Great job and thanks for posting. How many cans of the primer did you go through?

[@OffroadTrolls]

2 spray cans, and then bought a gallon can to use with my spray gun

[@shane97075]

Forgot to ask how much paint was totally used also? Not including reducer thanks for your response!

[@OffroadTrolls]

@@shane97075 I bought 2 quarts of red base coat, (I did respray a few pieces I wasn’t happy with) and I used some left over silver I had as the first coat to help the red “pop”

[@ventureall-terrain2297]

Great work! Looks sick, any issues with paint adhearing to textured plastic parts?

[@OffroadTrolls]

So far so good, a adhesion promoter meant for plastics was used

[@ventureall-terrain2297]

@@OffroadTrolls Nice, looks great. Im doing the same on my can am x3 max

[@OffroadTrolls]

I have another video that shows the process I did

[@ventureall-terrain2297]

@@OffroadTrolls Will check it out, thanks!

[@Simracing25]

@@ventureall-terrain2297 yeah check out that video it shows start to finish and I'll be honest my x3 came out better than I could ever picture

[@elwey2838]

Did you guys sand by hand or machines? Also what grit do you recommend?

[@OffroadTrolls]

We did both by hand and with orbital sanders, started out with a 80 grit on the textured plastics, then wet sanded with a scotch brite pad, primed and switched to a 220 grit, final sand was with 320, there is a video on my channel detailing the process

[@TEAutobody]

I have done 3 2 seaters and 5 4 seaters RZRs. So I definitely know the work it takes to do it, my process is a little different but everyone has their own way. Looks good though I’m sure I’ll see it up a silver.

[@OffroadTrolls]

Thanks!
