I have painted my Edge from the factory "BLACK" ski loops,
grill screens and rear shroud vents to the screaming yellow scheme. I used spray paint that bonds well with plastics and polymeres; the plastic components have taken the paint well and I am very impressed with the results.

Make sure the paint cures in for a week before placing the plastics back on to the sled. Once the paint has cured there was no notable flaking when handling the ski loops.

as for the vents that flank the gas tank, I purchased some gutter guard mesh and cut the mesh to fit the vents. I painted he mesh screaming yellow and I have to say it was the best $1.50 set of screens that i have ever seen!!!

Great job! *Looks OEM. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

That looks great. *Good job. *Where did you get the paint for the plastic at and what brand is it.

Very nice work. *You inspired me to maybe pull the cover off my sled, and see what I can do to it this weekend.

I would also be interested in the paint type.

FishHog

Very nice! *Good work.
Hmmm. Now I'm wondering what I can do for my ride. Did that paint come in green?

Verry nice, i actualy did the same with the front grills of my FIII....

that is an awesome job, right after i read that and saw ur sled, i went out and took the grill kit off mine, i think im painting mine red. *i have a yellow mxz 600 2001.

Geez Dan,

Your shop floor is nicer than the ones in my house.

The paint that I used was KRYLON...............match the cap of the can with the color you need.

Appreciate the compliments guys!!!! http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

The floors come from a house that had a flood so they ripped evething out, i took the good part and made a nice and cosey house for my sled, Its not as big as i would want it, its only 14 x 20 but for the sled its perfect ! Oh yeah the flood was in the kitchen so that is why i have thoes nice kitchen cabinets also ! il take a better pic and post it !

Good job on the sled accesserizing guys. I just wish you posted this about a year ago cause I went out and bought my screen kit from the dealer and paid a fortune. Anyway good job guys http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif Oh ya nice shop DanR

I moved the Phazer from the shed to the garage on Friday to start tearing it apart (I'm putting a Cat skid in it and cleaning it up), and the darn thing started on the second pull after sitting since Feb/March. *What a great sound! *Driving it 200 feet across the grass was the most fun I've had in months. *I had my 20 month-old son on with me (wife was at work) so it was a very short ride, otherwise I probably would've ripped up and down my backyard until it overheated. *The exhaust brought a tear to my eye (or maybe that was the Injex; *I gotta switch to Amsoil.)
Can't wait for snow!

I can't believe I am as far along with my summer project as *I am. *My summer project is my Indy drag sled. *I just installed a new Camo speed track with 168 1.080 inch Stud Boy picks a chrome moly front end and reringed my motor. *It won't be long and I should be smelling B33 race gas mixed with Klotz filling my shop. * Riley

Looking good...

Question... will that plastic ski-loop paint holdup when the loops flex under hard usage? *I ordered a new REV and I want to put yellow ski loops on it but if I paint the original ones (they are black) and it peels off... new sled with peeling paint... not the attention I want ;-)
