Camo 185s

[Rifleman1000]

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.

Very nice 185 and camo job. What is the material and how is it done?

[86trizinger]

how did you camo it?

[TheRealFatShady]

Looks really good, wrap or paint?

[Rifleman1000]

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.

Looks much better than some of the horrid camo jobs I have seen like on 2 of the wheelers I own.

[Rifleman1000]

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 .

[Rifleman1000]

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.

That's looks pretty good.

[Rifleman1000]

Not sure of the brand next time im at bass pro ill find out.

[Rifleman1000]

Looked it up its Duck Brand Tape with realtree camo on it

[ktmbk]

It looks good, hopefully it will last a long time.
Wait till you get her out on the trail, everyone will like her.

that looks sweet. camo duct tape is an amazing idea. i'm thinking the dashboard in my pickup could use a little of that treatment.
