Honestly a very underrated video you've made here! I want to smoothen out and then wrap the stock fender flares on my '15 Sierra. I know yall are doing paint but this vid has me in the right direction for my project. Thanks so much.
Exactly! Smoothen out textured areas so the vinyl wrap might adhere. Although I'm surprised there is so less to find about tgat process on the internet
Did you do it ?
I'm planning to do in my car, just sand to smooth the plastic, and the wrap
Would the wrap stick well?
Love these video because it really shows step by step how to paint our sxs's. Also this applies to all sxs's not just Can am or Polaris..
Great info. Can you share what paper grits used on plastic and primer? Thanks.
Just the video I was looking for as I’m getting ready to start painting my pro and wasn’t sure how difficult it would be 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Can you post a list of everything you used in this video so people can see what to buy?
lol the wife with her hands on her hips >.< EXCELLENT INFO TY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUB DUB WWWWWWWWWWW
I love it man. I have a Dodge Challenger I’m wanting to try this on. The video was great but a little hard to follow along correct me if I’m wrong but you,
Sanded the texture out with 220
Sprayed adhesion promoter
Sprayed flexible primer
Sanded that
Sprayed flexible primer
Sanded
Sprayed flexible primer
Sanded
Sprayed base coat
Then 2 coats of clear?
Sorry if I sound dumb I just wanna make sure I do a good job
After the 220 grit I water by hand with a scotch bright pad and sanding paste, and it was I think probably 3 coats of base coat to get good coverage
Hey! you may have mentioned this in the video and I just missed it, but have you tried using a torch at a distance from the textured plastics. The auxillary heat "melts" the texture quicker than the thicker base layer of plastic. Certainly going to still need a bit of a smoothing process, but that's a piece of advice I had been given from a custom wrap shop to smooth out those textured areas. Going to be painting my X3 myself soon and really appreciate the video's you've put together
Great job y'all 💯
Thank you! 😎
What kind of paint did you use for the top coat? Does it matter?
Did you use any flex agents in the base coat and clear coat or will it hold up fine without it. Also what type of clear coat did you use? Thanks for the video, great work!
I’ve painted 10+ side by sides and have never used flex agents and never had an issue. First one I painted 5 years ago still looks like I just did it.
@@TEAutobody where are you located? do you paint other peoples?
@@jkleins2869 in Michigan. And yes all the ones I’ve painted have been customers. Actually doing a Pro R right now.
@@TEAutobody damn, wish you were in the southeast. been trying to find someone to paint my plastic trim and no one wants to do it 😪 good looks though
@@TEAutobody I’m very interested in getting some pricing!
Thank you for the video! How many coats of clear did you do? And was the paint just an automotive paint? Also what grit sand paper did you use for the primer?
2 coats of clear, it was regular automotive base coat, and clear coat. First two coat of primer were sanded with 220 grip paper, last two were sanded with 320 grit, primer was SEM flexible primer
@@OffroadTrolls thank you! Awesome job!
Thanks 😊
Change your title to "How to paint a side by side" you'll get a lot more views! 👍🏼
Nice. 👍🏻
What sand paper did you use for the primer I didn’t quite catch it
220 on 1st and second sanding. 320 on third. I saw he mentioned it on a different comment
Turned out nice but it’s a lot of work
A truer statement has never been said LOL
It is to hard and results is to low
