@@mmgarage218 hey man thanks for the comment! Chances are your ski hull is gel coat top and bottom. Quality automotive paint would be fine either side. But I would recommend trying to use gel coat if possible for the bottom as it would be more durable. I honestly don’t have much gel coat experience I believe the difficulty is in matching the color. There’s a channel called today we wrench who does a lot of sea doo restos and has videos of gel coating. Definitely recommend checking him out he does quality work!

Thanks man!

The clear coat has its own specific activator to be used in the clear.

Nope. The basecoat did have its own activator and it was reduced with reducer as well. That’s what both clear things were mixed in the paint.

Adapt was purchased right when they came out. Been working great for several 100 miles, we will see how if I have any trouble.

I am using quality automotive refinishing paint in this video. So the base coat blue color has a reducer that’s added to thin the paint and a catalyst to activate the paint(make it hard). The clear coat also has a catalyst/activator which makes a chemical reaction to make it harden. This makes for a much more shiny and durable finish and has much more UV resistance compared to a not activated paint.

Thank you! I don’t know either I am sure its had several owners with a lack of care. I probably spent a good 6-8 hours refinishing the gel coat restore. I had to go back and touch up a few spots off camera. Thanks for the support!

That’s how I installed them

I am not running one

Thank you!!

Shooting for maximum reliability for in the back country by keeping the engine and tuning stock.

@@projectpowersports .. If you're suggesting that a factory engine is more reliable than good quality aftermarket parts, then we would disagree. I've blown the top of the pistons off of plenty of stock Arctic Cat engines to know better.

Thanks man!

Thank you! Appreciate the comment!

RMK can't even be ridden bud. All recalled. Polaris is trash.

@@anythingadrenaline4515 I have a Lynx shredder lol. Just naming literally any other brand cause AC is bottom of the barrel garbage.

@@xGR1MxREAPERxliterally I mean they look mean till you race them 😂

@@Canadianoutlaw420 what he did to the sled makes it look cool, they are just soo slow and outdated it’s sad.. atleast they have a new chassis/gauge/motor next year. Too bad they will be $25000 out the door lol

@@xGR1MxREAPERx that’s what I mean those Arctic cats look all aggressive until you race them, and most likely any other sled company will eat that sled

It’s hard to tell if your being serious

Cats work very good here in Montana.

@@Jesus.7081 cats are old and outdated and slow… serious as a heart attack why would I write that if I didn’t mean it

@@xGR1MxREAPERx what 😂 “outdated, old, and slow! I mean your right if you get a 440 older year but the newer years are by no means slow or outdated just depends on the trim level and year

@@Jesus.7081 if you compare these old ass 2022 arctic cat 800 sleds to a new 850 Polaris or skidoo they feel like 440’s bro.. I hope to god the new 858 is a reliable powerful engine.. they are only 5 years behind like usual.. next year skidoo and Polaris will have a even newer engine and Arctic cat will have this engine for 20 years now… it’s pathetic.

Thanks man appreciate it! They are from tracks USA. shop.tracksusa.com/Ski-Boots-detail.htm?productId=-3387813&catalogId=-3769&fpg=1

Running the Turcotte bar with a 2.5” riser. I originally had a 2” riser but much prefer the 2.5”

No one’s concerned about skidoo and Polaris here son..🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I had a alpha prior to this sled. I wanted to go twin rail for this build due to better handling in poor snow conditions. I am hoping to give a alpha rail a try again in the near future though

Thanks man!!

Cool man and thank you!! Yeah it seems there’s not many cat builds out there! But been on cat since a kitty kat lol

@@projectpowersports any plans for a catalyst?

@@JackTruitt there might be one sitting in the shop right now. 😎 My dad bought one I’m definitely excited to try it out and compare the two sleds.

That’s cool to hear man! Glad you are enjoying their kits. I think BDX really does a nice job with their products. I’ve chosen to keep my engine stock for now since I’m still on the beginner side of mountain riding! I’m sure your ZR is a sweet rig! Thanks for the comment!

It’s part of BDX’s rear bumper kit. I’m sure If you called them they would sell you one seperate from the bumper. www.bd-xtreme.com/index.php?id_product=1533&controller=product

Thank you!

Thanks man appreciate it!!

Awesome man! They are still great sleds!

Thank you!
