Do a search for atv salvage or atv salvage yards.

Keep an eye on Ebay.most any 96-2003 500-400(2000-2003) plastic will work.

Check out "hydro printing". It may be a route you'd want to go? It is more expensive than buying used plastics but cheaper than buying new. My bud had his 03 sportsmans camo dipped last summer, cost was $225. Looks great!!

Not sure who he had do it but I'm pretty sure it was somehwere in the N. metro, Blaine maybe. The cities for sure. He's up on the NW angle fishing for a week, I'll find out who he used when he gets back.

I'm sure he got a deal...his brother sent his snowmobile hood and dirtbike plastic along, done in "carbo fiber". That looks nice. He got to watch them do it, said it was a cool process.

As far as durabilty, I have 2 rifles that are hydro dipped...they get used pretty hard and not a scratch. I'm pretty sure all the camo patterns you see on ATV's are hydro dipped?
