I have a new Renegade x black and I put orange skid plate and A-arm guards and the decals are red, it kind of clashes so I want paint them red. I need help on what kind of paint to use on that plastic. any suggestions? I wish I had a pic but I am out of town and don't have access to my pics.

I wouldn't paint them, the paint is not going to hold up.

there is a paint you can use that automobile interior people use that will work i am sure. if you can stand the toxic smell it gives off then have at it.

cant you just trade that one in on a new red one?????....i dont think painting it will hold up as these are constantly flexing during operation and the paint will start peeling.

Hey Moose Magnet, once you hit a few moose with that sled this winter, there'll be enough blood on the skid plate to make it a bright red, which shouldn't clash so much with the rest. Just be patient, wait for winter and the trails to open, and I'm sure you'll find those moose. :p :p :p

But... If you want to paint it, I also don't recommend it, try selling the plate and order a red one.
Just my opinion !

There in lies the problem. No one at this time makes a red skid plate. Yellow, black, orange and blue are your only options at this time.

I "USE" my skidplate, so there is no way that paint will stay on it. I ride in ditches a lot, and I am constantely smashing over chunks of snow, so the painted skidplate would soon be back to its original color.

Impact on Painted Plastic when its -10 degrees is just simply gonna break the paint off in a HURRY!

So just swap plates, or take it off alltogether.

I ordered mine with a Orange plate

The reason why I want to paint them because I cant get red a-arm guards and skid plate for a rev, orange, yellow and black are only available.

I have a 04 Black Adren and have similar issues. You have two choices. Either take all the decals off and have an all black sled with the orange accents, which would look cool, or change over to the Yellow Skidplate which will look best on that setup. I personally think SkiDoo over did the decals on the Adren, so I am going to take some off but leave some on. Then I am painting my grills yellow and putting a yellow skid plate on. I wanted to Orange too, but it just won't work with the red.

I sent a Email to bomb asking them to make a moose blood red skid plate and a arm protectors, special just for the moose.

As for me I'm going with the yellow, but with red ski's and yellow tips and a yellow summit windshield. Funny they make red ski's but no red pan and a arm protectors..........hmmmm.

You might try Krylon Fusion paint . It is new and made just for plastic. A friend of mine painted the inside of his fenders on his ATV. So far so good.

Sell it I MEAN the sled and buy a red one, Polaris makes red sleds and are a lot brtter than your old Mxz 800.I THINK they call them SKS.SATURDAY in the field .not at ESSO give me a call or Z R900
