Hey, just wanted to share what i did to my foreman i think it looks really good. when i bought my foreman the racks and bumper where scratched and some paint had flacked off so i took them off and then sanded and sprayed them with dupicolor truck bed liner in a spray bomb. the finish kinda turned out like a rough powder coat finish, when i've been out muddin since i can stand on the rear rack and my feet dont slide anymore it's nice here's some b4 and after pics let me know what you think Ps. i cant stand the front bash plate being painted silver, aluminum looks good but painted silver plastic looks cheap.

I've ridden over some stumps and bumped some rocks with the bash plate and haven't took any paint off so far so good

Looks good. I did the same thing to mine last fall. The skid plate is starting to wear off a bit in places, mostly from running over rocks and the like, but its holding up great on the bumper and racks.

You could use a Wagner power sprayer, I did my sons that way, duplicolor needs 30 psi or more.Wagner is more.

i got the dupicolor spray bomb from napa for 13 or 14 bucks canada. a can, it's easier the using a compressior and a undercoating gun which i have both, just though i go the spray bomb way worked good for me. I used 2 cans but i put lots on. the bash plate is holding up great i cant see any scratches or paint flaking off or anything. I'll try to post a pic this weekend if i can the ice and snow off thinking about taking the foreskin to the car wash.
