Odd Swap Request
I am looking for someone who would be willing to swap their "BLACK" F3 air intake covers over the fog lights for my "SILVER" (see photo). Im not a fan of silver and to purchase both sides in black from BRP is about $340. I would be willing to throw in $100 and pay both our shipping costs. Mine have zero scratches or blemishes. They come apart from the Tupperware so will be easy to ship. I know it's a crazy request, but if you're looking to accent your black F3 with silver, or going to wrap your Spyder and don't care about the color, it is a good swap offer.

Fair request....
Have seen many stranger ones. Good luck with it I would if I could but I can't cause I don't have them. If nothing else....plasti dip them...this will give you the option to later peel it off and have silver once again or have them powder coated for a more permanent result....

Hi Chris,
Have you considered just giving yours a good coat (or two) of paint?

LOOKS LIKE CRAP

I have Plasti-Dipped chrome before with good results. Just find a clean bug free place to do it and apply it in four or five coats. The stuff is pretty tough. Alternatively I don't think it would cost more than $50-60 to have them powder coated and you'll have your choice of finishes.

Ok this is probably a dumb question, can you powder coat plastic?

POWDER COAT

There are NO dumb questions .....but the question I have is - WHY ? - ( + I don't think you can ) my belief is you powder coat for wear & abrasion resistance ...... Your Spyder is - PAINTED - are you thinking of having it powder coated also if possible. I eagerly await following comments on this .............. Mike

Because I apparently wasn't paying attention when I made the comment. You can't powder coat plastic; it would melt. I have Plasti-Dipped plastic before and it works quite well.

What about scuffing them up and hitting them with some truck bed liner? Would give them a black textured finish and pretty hard to screw up.👍
