Quite an improvement. Nice to see older ones brought back to life!

5:50 is when he actually starts painting and everything

[@justinhulsey4834]

Really a very cool video and very well presented for the everyday guy! I like to see this stuff come alive again and iam actually restoring my father's 03 700 twin sportsman, so a big thanks to you on some really helpful direction. Definitely will watch more. God bless young man!

[@zarca_powersports]

Justin Hulsey thanks Justin, means alot

[@luckyvet]

I have an old ATV and kid size snowmobile badly faded, but both working great. Painting them will get me several hundred dollars more - great video. Also: Use wet Mr. Clean Magic Eraser pads on all Vinyl seats. They work in seconds. Keep a bowl of water to ring out the pad every minute or so.

[@zarca_powersports]

CV will definitely try that

[@JowdeeJoe]

Use a torch and restore the original finish without paint

[@francineganmor9952]

Props to you for your hustle.. Do you know what that bike looks like now? The paint has faded and chipped off. That degreaser works amazing on seats!!! .......It also sucks every last drop of oils out of it. That seat has crackled right off the foam + all that degreaser and super aggressive scrubbing put the degreaser into the foam, destroying it also by now . Did you change and flush the oils? New filter? Check all the bearings and most importantly ball joints? That quad will kill someone in a split second. You are young and learning, hopefully everything I've pointed out , you now realize. Keep up the hard work.

[@ls4.8frank]

Good job guys, making a good little living out of what you are doing and fixing them up right. Most folks would have never drilled out and tapped that exhaust cover bolt so props to ya bro. Keep it up!

[@timothytrahan6029]

Was that a wasps nest under that plastic???

[@statikworks2608]

You need promoter and also sand down before just with some scotch pads or it won’t last it will just chip off after. The most important is the plastic promoter.

[@joecook4451]

Looks great! I was wondering how that paint holded up over the years being on plastic with how it flexs?

[@web1187]

wipe the faded plastics with 60% paint thinner and 40% boiled linseed oil and I'll bring back the shine and look like new

[@randomwrestlingthemes524]

I had my 700xx for 10 years now still runs I got 715 bore kit in it running a Full HMF exhaust, Power Commander 3 fuel programmer

[@oliviathomas9598]

This looks amazing! Great job!

[@justinpaul164]

Would this process still work if you want to change colors or are the best results using the same color as the original

[@zarca_powersports]

Yes, it'll work just paint a lot of coats over it so that it won't be as easy to peel when you scratch it.

[@justinpaul164]

Zarca Powersports thanks for the response

[@joshuaflinkstrom163]

love the socks and sandals

[@bucketmouthinc82]

I use Vaseline to cover things I don’t want painted. But the paint does give you a cleaner line.

[@akbuilder7626]

You need to make a camera holder with foam padding on the handles. Hard to watch with you switching hands every 5 seconds.

[@kevinhudson6354]

if you paint right you can makes those last way longer use an enamel or alot of clear but they also have to be sanded right primer right

[@johnvance1866]

How long does the paint hold up?

[@andrewl8104]

How long will the paint last ? I wanna paint a rzr plastic but I don’t know if it’s worth it

[@infadelakainf]

Where did you go that you forgot about the visitor tag? Lol. I do it all the time when I go to my boys school. Thanks for the video

[@zarca_powersports]

brian stout hahaha this made my day

[@loganjohnson9263]

Is that a 250 atc in the background when you where in the garage?

[@Element21VA]

Could you tell me when you sand them down what your process is

[@foxracer121509]

You did a nice job man

[@mechanictogo8815]

Looks awesome bro!

[@johnathanreigard512]

How do you ride all those at once ?

[@gr1mrea9er82]

In groups ?

[@nickdagostino5515]

how long does this last? wanna do this to my whole atv. gonna prime it first the. use the paint and then clear coat. sanded everything down. any info on doing this would be great man!!

[@eddietrahan2935]

Use adhesion promoter

[@hookers8914]

How did it come out

[@gixerson8212]

Did you do This?

[@eduardoramirez194]

Thinks for showings how to Paint the plastic good

[@kennethhuman8384]

Good work brother

[@chrisjames5823]

everytime im doing projects and wondering if i should make a video and upload it, i always disreguard it and abandon the idea cuz i feel im not good enough or the production value wont be good enough to guide ppl through the process..... then i see video like this.... as rimedial as it gets. a kid spray painting his quad plastic on a tarp in his yard.... ya... lol. keep on keepin on.

[@TJB_Auto]

Me too lmao

[@twaho]

You don't suppose an attachment for a drill or grinder would have saved a bit of effort on the seat?

[@markcasillas2166]

Right before you put the foot pegs in the oven,what was that blow dryer thing you were using? And can I do that to my oem pipes

[@HypebeastMajorities]

powder coating

[@chado745]

What is it exactly color wise you used

[@Jayarea510]

Came out nice

[@sturdyspamsl2277]

Where did you buy the spray paint at?

[@genepeters1529]

Nice job!

[@scottc9902]

Do you still have those ex 400s

[@walterdavis8085]

What type of paint are using

[@Mr.1-OAK]

👌👌👌

[@frenchyqbec]

good job !!

[@bikerman3000]

Useing a heat gun and sun dry plastics brings them back to there orginal look 9 times out of 10

[@notforfakesorlairs7860]

Hey. Buddy do still have that quad

[@zarca_powersports]

Notforfakes Orlairs sold a long time ago

[@dp2905]

Why would you leave the old stickers on? Gonna look pretty ghetto. Acetone or Isopropyl Alcohol will clean that seat faster and better without damaging the material unless it is very worn.

[@edgarmedina5338]

How much you sell for

[@levichase]

Go ahead

[@MrCoda32]

Gonna like her

[@chantelrhine8965]

Acrylic paint doesn't stick to platic

[@sorrygunsathome]

Paint is definitely already flaking off. Also dont believe when it says paint and primer in one that's not possible it's a brand gimmick.

[@bullseye673]

Step 1: don’t

[@collinaustin4164]

yeah that's going to peel in no time

[@bomorgan138]

Good enough for a flip

[@antonioaugust7746]

it w Not if you use plastic adhesion promoter

[@h1k4life71]

[@h1k4life71]

hAHAHAHAHAHA

[@samanthakimball3241]

All you had to do was take a heat gun to it and it would have went back to the original color. Without an adhesion promoter it’s not gonna hold up. It will scratch easily.

[@farmhandlocal7635]

Is that a 83 250R in the corner? Nice looking 350X also.

[@zarca_powersports]

FARMHAND LOCAL 76 both the 350x and 250r are 1985s

[@farmhandlocal7635]

Zarca Powersports Nice collection

[@jarrettenglish2200]

Mann you have some cool toys bro👌

[@mrdanielgeorgescu]

You could’ve used a blow torch it would’ve bought the color back easily

[@Young937phoenix]

I want to see a video of what those plastics look a year later lol..

[@hudsoncraven7696]

Will it come off with a power washer

[@edeverret2320]

You have the money for multiple quads just buy new stickers.

Good stuff. But please stop saying "go ahead" or any form of the word. Completely unnecessary, and a personal pet peeve. Keep up the good content

[@ramiromendoza2560]

Yo I have a question I have an 08 trx 400 but my plastics kinda broke I wanted to know if you can put 450r plastics on it ?

[@anentitledbrat665]

What kinda paint is this and how long does it last? Also, is it chip resistant? What would you recommend? I have a 2003 Kawasaki kfx 400.

[@joaopedromelo7825]

Amigo trincou a tinta ?

[@irate74]

You dont wear a respirator when powder coating but you do when power washing? Lol your crazy

[@ronnierabell1]

Wow what a big difference. From 2008 to 2009. What a chump 😒

[@coystroud1636]

If you want you could use a heat gun or a propane torch and heat the plastics up. It will draw out the original color and you don’t have to worry about cracking or the spray paint coming off!
