You sure you're not part of the Red Green show? I couldn't help after seeing your poor mixture of the 2 and slopping it on lol😂

There is another video where a guy does regular paint thinner and boiled linseed oil . Mixture has to be 60/40 mixture , 60% paint thinner and 40% boiled linseed oil . It worked on his red four wheeler . If there is built up crud well you have to scrap that off

Haha brought out the flame thrower! Nice

It looks like those are painted surfaces, so plastic treatments would not be helpful unless you remove all of the paint first. Then you just buy a rattle can of plastic paint. Try acetone to shine up bare plastic.

Thanks for the tips!

I would definitely say it's primed and painted. Suzukis in the 90's only came in red, blue and yellow.

You never see they try the torch of relatively good cars- always on junk vehicles

[@joetaylor2886]

Wtf sand the oxidation off b4 you touch. Smh

[@jean-philippepelletier1480]

I would never try this especially on the gas tank like that 🤣🤣🤣

[@michiganporter]

That's that new thick paint thinner lol! It sucks but it's scentless and it does work....weird none the less.

[@JohnBullOutdoors]

Good to know. I haven't tried it to thin paint. But you're right, it wasn't smelly.

[@larrywalden626]

😂

[@jacobcopeland1922]

That thing doesn't look restored at all...lol

[@larrywalden626]

I'm out. I've seen enough of your what not to do display lol

[@bleakyfinder2692]

Painful to watch.

[@mikeass242]

Use a heat gun it works better less chance of burning the plastic brotha

[@T_gaming28]
