Some of you guys pics are great. I want to lighten my 400x2 Scrambler but before I do, I want to know that I can get the plastic looking good.

So where do you guys take your plastic or what type of individual do you hunt up that has the skill sets to do this type of work??

If your talking about cutting them like mine, I did it myself, as do most other guys as far as I know.

Basically just get a dry erase marker and draw on the plastic to get the desired look. From there a dremel or any other good cutting tool will work. Depending on where you live though it helps if the temp outside is 75* or better, which makes the plastic easier to work with.

No special tools/skills required. Just the courage to try, and live with what you end up with. A new set is arould $200.

 

Same here...I cut mine with a bandsaw. Yes...I said bandsaw. The bandsaw I have for woodworking is big enough to get the plastic into. I have also cut my brothers, sons, and quite a few friends plastics also!!

i used a set of tin snips then a dremel tool and sand paper too work the edges down.

 

i used an exacto knife, but that was some hard cutting. which bit did you use on the dremel. i have one, but the multi purpose cutting bit seems to want to travel in the direction of the rotation of the bit.

 

At Wyoming Tech they say to take something like a hacksaw blade, heat it w/ a propane torch, and it'll slice through just like a hot knife through butter. You hafta reheat it often, but you don't hafta worry about a high speed saw getting away from you and taking off more plastic than you wanted.....P.S. Hold the blade with pliers or vise grips...its HOT!!!
