Right or Wrong - I am painting my sled! (FINISHED)

looks great!!! what kind of paint and what is the process involved in painting the plastic parts? have a powder coater to do the metal pieces , just want to do my hood , which broke in the front where it latches to the aluminum tube. thanks JP
 

BLUE I used sikens paint, 1995 corvette blue, but that is not an exact match of Yami blue. If you do a search on this website, you will find a paint code for Colorite that matches Yami blue. Sanded all parts with 300 grit, then basecoat with adhesion promoter, three (3) topcoats, five (5) clearcoats.

Yamaman98 - with all the useful information that I have received from this website and the help I received from the moderators, I decided to become a lifetime member and am going to buy a snowflap that is sold by TY

O yea, by the way the apex rtx sticker thats on my hood is going to be replaced by a yamaha sticker. at the very last minute, i decided to put the apex rtx stickers on the seat. i've been waiting for someone to slam me on that. I know it looks like ^%^&^. don't be afraid to hurt my feelings. i can take it. I'M A BIG BOY, just ask my wife. (LMAO) AS far as hunting goes i killed 4 deer bow hunting. nothing big, but i now have about 300 pounds of deer meat in the freezer.
 
Scott, that sled looks great.. Dan's son did a great job on the decals. I like the ones you added on the lower body panels too. I may be over later today..

Scott, did you get any good pics before your ride yesterday?
 
Well, I understand a bunch of TY guys had the chance to see Scott's sled in person last week at the Great Northern... What did everyone think?

Personally, I think this how Yami should have brought this sled out to begin with. It's the cleanest, best looking Apex RTX I've ever seen.

What were your thoughts?

we were sitting in the lounge, having a soda deciding where to go for dinner. i have to say our jaws dropped, when they pulled up! vinnie mark and i all looked at each other and never said a word. after a second or 2 we all said ...at the same time... i've seen that sled on the site! lol..... we let scooter and his secretary get in the bar before we attacked him with questions and introduced ourselves!lol.... that thing looks great on the snow! really stands out! we even used it in the group picture that night.

Yeah, it was okay. :dunno: :hide: :tg: :tg: :tg:


Actually, I did like it very much. I would have had them panels tore up the first ride, though. lol

I may have a custom set of painted panels myself someday, but they will only be used at certain times. lmao

Very nice job though, Scott. Just as I told you that weekend. Very nice.
 
that is one sweet looking sled, it look's great when you see it in person. it was nice meeting you scooter and "your secretary" hope you can make it on more ty rides in the future
