Well it Finally Happened...

My brothers Raptor finally went rubber up. He was sliding around a corner, did a wheelie then went on one wheel, then rolled over. Needless to say, the junk Yamaha Plastic is creased in a couple of places. Does anyone know how to get rid of the lighter colored creases in the plastic. It was blue, now it is blue with white and light blue lines on the right side fenders. I have heard of heating the plastics or using different oils, is there anything that works to make it less noticeable. Oh well, does anyone know how much a set of Fullbores are? At least it didn't break anything...

Thanks in advance

Funny thing how much worse the yamaha blue is with the white lines etc than the blk and white.

If he is never ever gonna roll it again (doubt it LOL) go spend some green but if your thinking its a tippy ole craptor then its makes more sense to try heating it, it does work but can get screwedup if you get it too hot or dont let each little section cool down etc.

if i were you i'd stretch and bend the rest of the plastic out so it'll all end up bein whiteish, that way when it flips again no one will know
