that's kinda what i'm looking for, an easy to apply different color to my bike. If I can find somebody that has something that would change the entire bike to a different color for less than a new set of plastics (whatever model and years that would work) for less than a new set from the factory or even on ebay (almost just as expensive) I would love to jump all over it, I just can't seem to find anything on the relatively cheap side. so far the cheapest has been POWER SPORTS WRAPS at around $280...... I know that's cheaper than a new set of plastics if I knew what other models/years would fit with different colors, but I have no idea what else would work on my bike as they only made "them" for about a year and a half. If anybody else knows of what would fit and which years will I would be absolutely grateful to know what they are!

IF I can find something that I like at a descent price, I will absolutely post some pics! I would like to find another model's plastics that would work on mine in a different color before I purchase a bunch of wrap material. But if nothing else will work that would be the way to go. Thanks for the help everybody, and if somebody knows what else will fit PLEASE PLEASE let me know!!!

The plastic off a scrambler will fit but I'm not sure which years. They all look the same to me.

that's about where I'm at with it too.... I'm sure some years would fit, because they look identical for several years, but I can't make myself order a set of plastics for lets say an 06 scrambler, or even an 03 for that matter just because I don't know the suttle differences.... I guess I need to load mine up on the trailer and haul it to one of the local atv bone yards and pull the ole tape measure out... I just don't know any other way to do it unless someone knows for 100% certain of one or more years that would fit. Otherwise i'm gonna have to find a wrap that I like for the right price.

Krylon makes a line of spray paint called "Fusion" that is made to bond to plastics. I have used it to refresh the colors of my old Suzuki LT50 (yellow) and my Suzuki Vinson (forest green) and to paint a flame job on my Honda (red w/ yellow flames)
It bonds very well and is very chip/scratch resistant if you let it cure for about a week after painting.

Oh yeah, it's available at Walmart

My friend bought all new plastic for his Sportsman just to change the color. Most pricy way of doing it I would think.

Can't remember what year model they made these, but you don't see many of them.

have you had any problems with it flaking or chipping off? How about fading?
