I am going to redo the body with this stuff Camoclad Outlet Camo4u – Home of the Camoclad Outlet, Camo Bug Shields, Camo Truck Kits, Camo Wraps, Camoclad Vinyl Accent Kits - can anyone give me the scoop on this stuff? Hard to do yourself?

$1200! Holy cow! were you shipping the entire bike to be dipped.

Yeah, that's kinda steep. Last time I priced factory camo, it was about $1300 not counting the gas tank cover .... or shipping .......

Later ....

Yeah. I was in the UPS store and had everything set to go and they told me their price. I picked up my plastics and walked out.

Gunny, you didn't like the title "Sergeant Major" either. I mean common. Is there any rank you do like? You don't like field grade officers and you don't like senior NCO's? I'm confused. ??? And why are you calling me a wing nut ???

Wing Nut ...... Ah .... I mean, Battlegun, Ole Buddy ...... I don't remember say'in I didn't like senior NCO's .... cause I am one ..... and No, No, No .... I didn't mind the label "Sergeant Major" .... I made a "wise crack" about being a "Major Pain" because of some my past issues with figuring out on how to turn the computer on ... not "THINKING" about the "Major" thing ..... my mistake .... I owe ya 20 ....... but when you CALL me "Major" ... that gets my attention ........ Savvy ?? :beer"

No biggie really .... well ........ sorta .......

In an effort to pull this thread back down to earth, the water transfer printing is a very good looking application. In all honesty, it will turn the ugliest of quads into a show item. HOWEVER, as I mentioned before, you HAVE to take care of it more so than regular plastics. I did everything according to the "book" and went for my first ride with Mud Bugs on A PAVED ROAD and threw a rock and chipped it. It was the next day I ordered the Bighorns. lol.

If any of our members are considering this application, please know that you will have one of the sickest looking quads out there, but I can not voucher for how long it will hold if rode aggressively.

Well, I just got in contact with HydroGraphX out of Lehi, Utah (Lucky me) last nite ... they quoted me it would cost approx $500/550 to do my Grizzly fenders & gas tank cover. :cheer: and NO SHIPPING ... Damn, that saves a bundle for me big time :icon_thumright:

I asked the guy about it being "Brittle" ... he "Claimed" their product is, and I quote .... " it is extremely durable. It is the same system the factory uses. The snowmobile at the show that was dipped in snow camo has performed very well and has gone through trees, rolled and been abused. We have dipped several side x sides and 4 wheelers and have performed very well also. "

However, as you mentioned Battlegun ... I'd have to watch it to see if that statement is just a "Selling Ploy" ....... so I'm think'in .... maybe later this year (or sooner), I may remove the camo clad stuff & get my plastic "Dipped" .... ;;t;;

If I do, I'll report on it .... Damn, I'm all excited now ... :cheer2: :cheer2:

Later ....

Shipping on lightweight big stuff sux. I recently shipped my X seat to California from GA and USPS priority mail was $77 which is a 2-3 day service. It was cheaper for me to ship it express mail overnight for $60. They said it was due to the size of the box but it being so light. What the hell kinda sense does that make????

I just bought a pair of front fenders off of eBay and the shipping for them was $70 and I think the seller probably lost his butt on shipping.

Maybe they're covering their collective butts incase a big wind comes up & blows the "Lite" stuff out of their trucks ?? :rotfl:

WHAT ?? ... :hello:

I just bought some fenders & the gas tank cover from a guy in Ohio :cheer2: :yay2: :cheer2: :yay2: ... the shipping was $125. :sad11: But I'm not sure if that's for 3 boxes, two boxes, or just one really big box ??

You guys might already know about these places, but here's two places that do Hydo-Dipping out of Missouri ... so maybe shipping would be a tad cheaper ... and I'm not sure of pricing, but if anyone was interested, you can always contact them.

Do you have any pictures of how your project turned out? That would be stellar to see!

That is awesome gunny! What did you do on the underside or did you just leave it the green color? Or did they dip both sides? :coolpics:

THANKS Battlegun

ccasion14: .... the underside is the stock green ... and you can't really see it, however, what you can see, the green blends in & looks natural. :cheer:

I wish I would have had that insight when I did my old 660. Just like yours, the underside was stock green but the top was yellow and black. I had to do something. :violent1:

And I loved that "Hornet" look of your 660.

I wonder if a guy could do the inside of the fenders with this DYI Hydro-dipping kit Yelt posted ?? .... it would be interesting to try ... :beer"

I'm not 100% sure of how the process works but it stands to reason b/c they only do one side and the other side comes out untouched.

There are some days when I miss the 660. What a project that was.

Yeah, if a guy could do the inside of the fenders himself before ... it would be cool. But I think it would pretty difficult to do the fenders themselves. I mean, these guys have a huge tank & it's all the two of them can do to get it in & have the film adhere correctly

ccasion14:

And I know what ya mean about miss'in yer 660 Battlegun ... I too have put a lot of time into making this Grizz "Special" & "Trail Worthy" ... I would hate to sell it ... and I'm not sure how the heck you let yours go

But you enjoy the new ride, correct ?? :cheer:

BATTLEGUN

· #39 · Apr 30, 2010

Oh yeah. I enjoy my Outlander. It just gets frustrating not having a local parts/service center. Everything from the clamps to the $80 socket and the $30 clamp pliers gets frustrating. I've since stopped using the stupid clamps and just use normal hose clamps. In fact, I may not even go to the dealer to get the retarded maintance soon thing off my dash. I did, and will continue to record my maintance and repairs and let it be at that.

I bought the Grizz 660 when I was home on leave from Iraq and bought parts for it while I was still in Iraq. It was a great project but it got to be too much and I didn't want to ride it like I stole it. What good is a quad if you can only baby it? I had to get something I could ride and I couldn't afford to outright buy another.

Sorry for the rant.

Well, I understand what yer say'in ... I bought a new truck (to me, an 01 Ford V10) & I do not wanta take it off road like I did my 74 ... which was modded to be off road ... sometimes the things we do .... sometimes one must sit back & say those four words of wisdom when modd'in something to "USE" .... "KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID !!!" .......... :rotfl:
