  |
|
Our 08 grizz has quite badly faded plastics on the tank and the front guard Some are stress marks and I can deal with those The rest seems to be almost like the surface is oxidizing . It isn't appearing on the contact areas ie where my knees rub on the sides of the tank. Any ideas would be welcome
Cheers Pete

What you can do is scrap the surface with a razor blade to scrap off the whiteish surface and then get a hot air gun and gently blow over the surface . it works when you flip a quad and put a crease line in the plastics

| I used a plastic renew kit from the bike shop on an 80's era mini bike and it worked fantastic. |
