94 XP Pink Color Question

[XPRIDER94]

I know most guys replace the hot pink parts on 93/94 XP's with black or something else but i would like to restore my 2 ski's back to stock and i was wondering if anyone knowa what the pink color was called or if they have found a paint that matches closely. Any help would be greatly appreciated

The pink parts, rear grab bar, intake vents, are not going to "hold" the paint over time. As for the color, I don't know. Since they were not a painted part I don't think there would be any code to refer to. Some shops can use a canera/scanner tool to try and match a color if you bring the part in.

I'm not a paint expert though. I know the rear bar, handle bar cover and grips all deteriorated on my machine. The grips broke down, everything had black stains that would not come out. I used the "plastic dip" brand spray paint to make them black, but as said, it rubs off pretty easy.

Where I live function takes priority of looks so I'm not the best source for restoration advice, just passing on my experience.

Good luck.

Any of the older rubber parts can't be painted and just rot with age.
The hard plastic parts could be painted but has to be correctly prepped and then would not be super durable.
