- Sup everybody I am back with the latest XR250 Build video and in this one I will be trying something out for the first time! (I feel like I say that every video) This is my attempt at restoring 39 year old plastics using only some sand paper, a lot of time, and some Maxima SC1. I saw others doing this wet sand technique to bring back gas tanks and plastics so I had to give it a shot. It is really simple but it takes a long time.
Hope this will help someone out there who didn't know how to bring their old plastics back to life or was to scared like I was to scratch up the plastics and it not work! I promise it does work even if it feels very strange to be scratching up your plastics haha. I was able to get 90% of the white sun fade out and bring back the color. The plastics feel really smooth now and I'm sure with a little buffing from a polishing wheel and they would look almost new again. I will be trying that next once I can buy one.
NEXT VIDEO IS THE FINAL ASSEMBLY!! I will try to get that out before the end of this month (Febuary, 2021) So stay on the lookout for that one! Then the reveal will be shortly after to finish it all up. This build series was not the most popular by any means but I promise it will go out with a bang! The last two videos will be epic.

Who has some old faded plastics they are going to restore now!?
Wish i could do mine !!!! Have the exact same bike at my grandads over in the countryside… funny thing is he wants to restore not me lolol 😂 hood vid man
@@weakas4056 well you both should restore it together! It's such a great bike. Thanks man
Nice job man them plastics came out well 👍🏻🔥
Thanks again man! Took a lot of work but results were worth it, usually thats how things go for me!
Awesome job as always! Love your vids.
Thank you I really appreciate that!
Was waiting for this💯
Heck yeh thanks man! Hope you enjoyed it 👍🏼
Xr50 will be lit🔥🔥🔥
Dude I’m so ready to get back to that 50!!! But I want to finish this series first we are almost done! 🤘🏻
Doing this identical bike as we speak, it looked like a blizzard hit my shop after doing the front fender lol
Hahaha I can imagine after doing this one!! That's great to hear man best of luck with yours
So cool ❄️⛄️ 🏍
Thanks babe 😘
Nice job I got the same bike I used steel wool dipped in Mcguire wax it came out real nice
Since I did this i learned to sand and then heat gun after and then polish with mothers and it will look almost perfect
Propane torch seems to work much better than the heat gun. You can heat the surface much faster without heating all the way through the plastic.
Absolutely you are right about that! Much more effective
I have a 1979 model first year of the line that also needs work done
Thank you. I'll have to try the silocon clear coat. I painted my 1981 honda xr250r because the previous owner did. I need to get the paint off and do it right. I am trying to restore it to original all except safety stuff like trying to convert it to DC with better lights. Still not sure how to do it but I have a idea.
Use a torch to get the plastic shiny
Yeeeeeah buuuuuddyyyyyyyyy
Lightweight babyy
most of that white oxidization will come off with a 3500 lb pressure washer . still needs a scrape after and a sanding .
Good to know thanks for the tip
Haha snow!!!!!
Dude it’s been like 5 years since it snowed here.. crazy!
Ha I got a kick out of it last comment I said that's it I'm moving south we got enough snow here in PA that's for sure I'm over it come on sunny days
@@Codyjames83 hahah dude I know I remember that now! We have great weather here most of the winter but a couple days are like wtf lol this was one of those days 😂 👍🏼
You can sell all you scrape off in $10 bags and buy new plastics with the proceeds.... :)
Ha! Faded plastics are a chore man, you done good for a quick hand job.
Hahaha now that's an idea! Thanks man I was surprised by the results myself, well worth the time spent!
