Thanks for the warnings . I will not use the PlastiDip. My plastics are unbroken and I’m decent shape and I will focus on other parts of the machine for now and if I happen across some green plastics I’ll grab the set

Thanks for the heads up. I’m finding that a lot of my panels are not attached well. I’m thinking about taking them off and using Camo Green PlastiDip on the panels and reattaching them properly.

Hello, I’m new to the sites and actually new to sites in general. I recently bought a 1996 Honda Foreman 400 4x4 off the adult grandson of the original owner. The plastics were faded and there are some minor defects but all in all it seems to be a solid base for a restoration. I am replacing the slicks with some ITP mud lites and I have removed and rubberized the racks. I also took a heat gun to the plastics which helped a bit ( they were almost white in spots). The quad has the original air cleaner and the frame is spotless and straight. It sat in a woodshed where unfortunately the sun could reach the plastics so they were bleached white in spots . The grandfather used the machine to get the mail and bring out trash to the corner of his 1/4 mile long driveway. So that’s my story and my first question is how to the plastics attach? It seems that someone went crazy with the automotive style fender buttons. Is that what is used to join the panels together or am I missing some hardware?
