Painting the ATV The Right Way

Today was a day that resulted in a large transformation. We got the Color and the clearcoat on the raptor. It looks amazing. I had a few runs here and there, wet sanded and buffed those and they look amazing. All of the paint and the clear coat was purchased from Amazon.

Hey looks awesome buddy !!! Nice work !!

[@juicer911]

Thank you.

[@Fiingaz]

Can i use a different color like cherry red? If so what do you recommend? Great job btw!

[@someguy8863]

Does not mention how many coats of Adhesive promoter and how long in between. How long to wait before applying the filler primer, how many coats and in between waiting, did not want to continue watching since was not a complete guide.

[@juicer911]

Sounds good. All of those recommendations are on the back of the cans. However, I don’t recommend this if you actually ride your quad in the woods. It will scratch up just like a car. From now on, I will just purchase plastics.

[@blindguardian863]

Did you just spray the straight primer Or thin it. If so what ratio.

[@juicer911]

The primer that I used was a hard build formula. It was intended to spray on thick.

I see that this video is a year old. I'm would like to know how well it's kept up over the year? Thank you so much

[@juicer911]

If I would’ve recommend this, it would be for a bike but I would not really get abused. It held up great, but I started to get a little bubbling due to things not adhering well. I went ahead and purchased white plastics for the new build

[@EdFiggs]

@@juicer911 thanks bud, you rock

[@6.7Rollin]

you are suppose to sand the high build primer! saves you time sanding the base an clear!!!

[@juicer911]

Thanks. I am learning as I go.

[@Gokywildcats11]

What does the promoter do.

[@juicer911]

It helps with adhesion. It’s usually recommend on plastics and hard to get areas.

[@joshuaandrepont2269]

Does this last while mud riding tho?

[@juicer911]

I just regular ride. We get muddy but not mud bog. It lasted well but in the Future, I would Just go with graphics

[@JoseRamirez-sz6bo]

How long did you wait for the paint to dry?

[@juicer911]

I think I let it flash for like 10 min between coats and then fully cure over night

[@jtk626]

What base coat paint did you use ?

[@juicer911]

Tuxedo black. It is a Ford color.

[@Sausage_29]

"May I know the current condition of the car shell? I also want to change the color by repainting, but many people say that the paint may peel off due to the bends and creases. I wonder how your situation is?"

[@juicer911]

Honestly it looked great but I rarely off-road. Moving forward, I will just buy plastics instead.

[@globalans]

can you linked the stuff you used please

[@elgoldenboymusic6061]

What clear coat did you use

[@juicer911]

2k clear

[@MrCGrammer]

Did u do anything to prep the plastic before the promoter?

[@colewronski7524]
