That's a really good idea.I found the Rustoleum truck bed coating works great, and if it chips its really easy to blend in.
Most of Polaris Racks are plastic, so I think Sand blasting plastic may not turn out so well, LOL... But I do plan on doing this to my front bumper as it has some scratches on it from pushing out Yamaha's, LOL...I had mine sand blasted where my father in law works and they came out real nice, whatever you decide to do make sure any and all rust and dirt is removed.
Yes, most of the newer ones do. But in his picture he has metal racks, as do I which is what I am asking about.Most of Polaris Racks are plastic, so I think Sand blasting plastic may not turn out so well, LOL...

Sandblasting the plastic racks probably wouldn't be the best idea.
Rather than painting those steel tubes, because it's going to come off again, I'd go to a hardware store that sell plumbing supplies and get some pipe insulation and wrap them with it and zip tie it down, or you could also use 5/8 to 3/4 inch heater hose and split it and wrap the tubes with it. It will protect the tubes and make for a better non slip surfaceHas anyone used Plasti-dip to re-finish the racks on their ATV? I've used it on wheels in the past but I'm wondering how well it holds up over time on the racks since they take some abuse.
Thanks.
My son-in-law had a buddy that ran the local Rino-Liner dealer. Had them do both of our racks. That was almost 6 years ago. Just had to touch up the stands this past spring. Used the Rustoleum spray can for touching up.I found the Rustoleum truck bed coating works great, and if it chips its really easy to blend in.
