Ok guys im getting ready to strip my sled down and I need some opinions. Im getting all my red plastic clear coated here real soon, but im not sure if I should keep the bee or go with something differant for the next season. I have two reasons for clearcoating , 1 to help keep it cleaner from belt dust and exhaust stains , 2.. things just dont like to stick to textured plastic (graphics).
I got alot of complements on the bee design last yr but not sure if I want to go with a differant look this yr . I have thought of some changes and made some but I am on the fence with the bee .
Im going to have the ski-doo mxz lettering made at a graphics place but done in a dark charcoal color with no outline colors, maybe the mxz done in a differant shade.
If I keep the bee I will be revising it a bit but basiclly the same thing ether in black or the same color as the new doo lettering . I have thought mabye going naked and/or just have the lettering on the panels( factory location ) like the 02 zx's (big)and/or just add a little somthing down in the indent area in the lower corner.
My color scheme will stay the same for the most part other than Ill be elimanating some yellow and going more of a darker look over all with some yellow accents, ski springs ,idlers, vents in console .
The guy thats clearcoating the panels even said he can give it a fade look by adding a bit of tint in the clearcoat inbetween coats to give it some zing too, he even mention some prisim clear so it changed colors from differant angles in areas as it passes by.
I guess this is where it would be nice to have a set or two of extra panels to change things up from time to time.
All in all im little partial to the bee since it is a custom design I came up with and there's nothing close to the look which would keep it unique from all the others.
What should I doo ? I know the decission really wont be made till I get the panels back and see what the clearcoat look does to the sled but more or less just looking for opinions and ideas before its to late.

This is the look as of our last ride , since then she sports a new handlebar combo w/ risers and a modded mobile windshield
