 Alright, let's get rapping. Today we're gonna rap a 96 Polaris. Now I've watched videos and read several posts. So what I ended up doing was I took all the plastic off. I had the decals on here. The decals were starting to peel off. This thing's 22 years old. I didn't want to rap over that because it would probably show through the rap. Another thing I also did was I took 220 sandpaper and I kind of sanded all over the plastic. Let's give her the oxidation and a road tire. So I'm gonna show you a couple things here. So what I did to make things easier was I removed the gas tank. When I rap this, I don't want this in the way. Also I have a white wrap. So what I did was I painted all my edges white. Anything that might show. I removed my covers. Just got everything out of the way to make it easy. I was in the middle of working on this thing. So I had a couple other things going on. So now I watched a couple videos on YouTube and they all say, you know, start with the fender, go up, go across. Most Hondas and other ATVs, they've got a full hood. As you can see I've got this compartment door that opens up. So I'm gonna try something different. They all start from the hood, put a slit, wrap it around the handlebars. I'm gonna try the other direction. I'm gonna start on the gas tank, make my cut and spool it this way. And I'm gonna try to wrap this down and around in here and just lay this down. So the reason I sanded everything was I used to be a body man about 20 years ago. And they always talk about adhesion. There's a primer stick that comes along with this. Like for your edges. So I figured well just get rid of all everything that's 22 years of crap that's been on here. Hopefully it'll make it adhere a little better. I also did take my fender flares off. Let me show you here. Because after I wrap it, if it were to come loose here or break loose, this is gonna hold it in place. I'm gonna put it back on. Okay so what you're gonna need here is, I've watched a bunch of videos and some guy bought $100 worth of shit. All you need is a squeegee, your primer stick, a knife, a marker and of course your wrap and a heat gun. And also keep in mind that you want to think about the temperature outside. It's December here in Wisconsin. It's about 40 degrees out. It's a little cool in the garage. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna throw some heat on in the garage while I'm working. And after I'm done, because it's supposed to drop down to 32 during the week, I'm actually gonna remove the plastic, bring it back in the house. Because they say, I don't know, 24 to 36 hours. It should really cure and dry nicely in 65 and up degree temperatures to cure before you go out in cold weather. So that's my plan. We'll see if it works. Alright, so first thing you want to do is wax and grease remover. Clean off the surface, your plastic, clean up really nice. It'll give a nice clean surface for the vinyl to stick to. I also went with the 3M air cast. That way I can heat it up and it'll stretch over the tank. Some of the vinyl kits out there, you have to round the corners here, make a cut, lap it, cut, lap it. This you just use a heat gun, stretch it over the top. It should be good to go. Well, this will be step one. Alright, step two. I've got my primer. I'm just gonna put it around edges where I want things to stick. Bubbles, you can just heat up. It's starting to look like something. And I can just trim this off. This is taking way longer than I thought. Which is to be expected. It's turning out pretty cool. I keep chugging away and I'll let you know how it goes. Alright, so I'm about two hours into it. I'm finding out that it's not as easy as it looks. I did this, but now this is my first time attempting this. I'm just doing it little by little. And the more I do it, the more I'm learning. The stuff, when you heat it up, it stretches. Take corners like this. Right here, you kind of got to heat up, stretch it. I had to put a relief cut in there because it started buckling. Folds over. Actually, you can't even really see it. Heat it up, stretch it, just kind of work it down. It does, it is a really good material at 3M aircast. I'm liking it. Being my first attempt, I probably could, if I did this a couple more times, probably do a lot better job. But it's turning out okay. So I'm going to keep working here. And I'll videotape as I go. Oh, I'm pretty nice. That's the part I want to turn out good. This is where the, I'm going to see you get into the fender flare. I just heat it up, and I stretch it over. Just heat this up, and I can move it with my fingers. And that's a little patched on here. I'll cover up later on. The rack will hide that along with everything else, but here you go. I'm going to give you a little once-over. I got about three and a half hours into this. I do my little trimming. So it kind of came up short down here. Put in a little patch. That fender flare is going to cover that. Yeah, not too shabby. So if you ever wanted to try this, like I said, a couple things that I learned was while you're cutting your relief cuts, don't overcut. When I did the other side, I cut around the shifter handle here, and it actually came all the way back to here. So I had to put a little patch in here. You can't see it because of the lighting, but it's a little white patch in there covering up my mistake. But actually it doesn't look too bad. I got some trimming to do for my first try. I'm pretty happy with it. There are a couple little wrinkles in there, but this is a 22-year-old machine. I'm just going to be trail riding with it. It's not a show car. So I will do this again. The more and more I do it, the better I'll get at it. But if you want to tackle this yourself, like I said, I would have at least another person with you. Give your buddy a couple of these, and it'll be good to go. I'll help you out. Alright, thanks for watching.
