    Camo 185s

    Heres a few pictures of my $200 185s. I decided to camo it for hunting season and to protect the plastics which where in great shape. It has original tires on it and hasnt been run much at all.I wish i had taken pictures before so you could see how good shape it was in (just dirty). Luckily it sat in a shed for 30 years used 2 times a year for hunting in Maine.

    You are gonna Laugh i used camo duct tape . Cost me $16.00 at bass pro for 2 rolls . Holds real well to the plastics. One tip use minimal overlay on the duct tape as it doesnt stick well to itself. Also when you remove it it leaves a residue behind but paint thinner cleans it right up.

    Wow, that's impressive for tape! But I'd be afraid it'd come off in water/mud, any experience with it there? Seems like a good cheap way to camo something and completely reversible.

    Well as its mostly on the top sides of the plastics and tank i think it will hold up ok in the wet and mud but i dont try to get wet or muddy during hunting so i wont really be able to say for now. But its reversable and a hell of a lot cheaper than a camo wrap and if it get damaged just peal it off and put a new piece on .

    Also i cleaned the plactics with thinner before i placed tape on and it stuck on really well just dont roll corners over edge just trip em close to edge.

    Did you use the moose branded stuff? I did mine about 5-6 years ago over the previous owners camo paint job. The moose stuff has real tree printed on it and is 6-8 inches long. The high rub areas lasts for years (I still have most of the origional on mine). the other stuff I used when I did mine was a 1" cloth tape, this came off after a few rides.
