yeah you could probably blast some eazy-e and DRE and they might turn black? worked for most white kids i know.....

But seriously i think you mean wrap, just go to a decal shop and they could sell you some stock vinyl to wrap em yourself...

Anodizing...did some motorcycle fork tubes and they turned out great. Don't see why rails would be any different

Can't beat powder coating or liquid vinyl transfer/dipping.

If you don't want to dissemble plasti dip is probably your best bet.

Vinyl will be a lot of work to leave skid in the sled and have it look half decent will be a challenge.

Good luck

Anodize. Theres multiple hardnesses.

My painted polaris rails are all chipped up from **** getting kicked up from the scratchers.

Anodizing will not chip.

Polaris paint dont seem to hold up sumtimes. Anodizing wont chip but the alum will and it will show the natural alum color in the chip. I dont think wrapped rails will last 100 miles, too much friction and rubbing from ice, snow, mud , sticks etc. my vote...powdercoat
