How's your tunnel paint holding up? Would a raw finish be better.

[flying frenchman]

How's your paint on your tunnel and running boards holding up on your Axys?
If you were to buy another new sled would you go painted
or raw finish on the tunnel ?
Don't want it to look beat up in 3 or 4 years.
My last sled had a polished tunnel and 6 years later and it still looks great but maybe it's time to change it up.

Tunnel is holding up great. Boards are BM fab so no inisght there.

16 orange is holding up great. I think some others were having some issues with other colors. Do a thread search, you should find some info.

My black tunnel and boards are not having any issues what so ever.

My orange tunnel looks good. Orange boards have a couple spots with the paint peeled off.

My black tunnel is holding up good only place the paint has dulled and wore off is under my tunnel bag. The black paint has wore off in some spots on my running boards.

You can claim that on warranty if you still have comprehensive. There were some 2016's that the paint didn't stick well.

Titanium is bubbling up along the side and on the upper corner of tunnel. Started flaking off at 189 miles. I contacted a poo dealer who contacted the manufacture and now I have to take it to a body paint shop for an estimate. Dealer took pics and sent them to Polaris.Polaris is gonna cover it.

good to know, thanks! I still have about 10 months of the 1 yr warranty left.

My 16 black paint wore off a bit under my feet but held up well everywhere else. Couldn't really see any benefit to ice build up on the tunnel. Wish Polaris would come up with a way to keep the tunnel cool.
