Are you painting the stock fenders? If so, then it may look good. A friend of mine painted his bleached out Warrior plastic with the red Fusion. It was so good you could see your reflection in it. Then another buddy of mine tried it on his Maier-fendered 200x and it wouldn't stick. I don't know what the difference is.

I would sure like to see the finish when this is done if you dont mind. You can pm me when your done and I will send you my email address if you can send me a pic. I heard that Fusion paint is pretty flexible and works great but never seen it done.

Please Keep us posted.

Engine needs a new piston and rollers [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] .... do i need a new carb if i get the piston bored over? i found both the parts luckily i also found black plastics so if the Black painting dosent work out i can juss get them but their like 128 - 150 each [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Stuff ill have to get/or want:

Piston (maybe bored)
Rollers
New Cross bar pad
grips
brake lever
K&N air filter
Exhaust
New set of tires

Is this work for a $125 quad?? hopefully my dad will split the price or hopefully by the piston, rollers and airfilter and maybe tires since i heard him tell the guy " yea my daughter was lookin for a quad to ride figured i might as well get her this one and fix it up for her" but she cant use a foot shifter lol so ill prolly be ridin it but still im juss hopin hes gonna help

I believe it will. Its not that flexible. I would have told you to get at least 4 cans for the front and rear fenders.
