P1000 Color change

[Spencer357]

I know there is a lot of talk on here about this already but I couldn’t find what I’m looking for. I have a 2021 p1k5 in red and I’m wanting to go with silver but when I look up the panels on several different websites none of them tell me the color and there is no pictures so I have no idea what they are. Can anyone please help me with this?

You may have to look at year models different than yours, that's what I had to do when going from camo to proton blue.

Which color silver are you looking for.

it looks like a metallic silver. I didn’t realize there were different ones

Do you still have the camo and want to sale them??

So you want the 2016 silver?

They made a matte silver for the LE models as well

Need pics of machine ….?

Have u considered getting painted/silver matte wrap and most importantly the power loss by not having red?

the 2016 silver sounds cheaper lol
To be honest I would rather have any color than red I thought I liked it when I got it but now it just doesn’t look right. So now I know to look for panels under a 2016. Do you know how I can tell if it’s the silver? I’m guessing it’s in the part number?

Lol il take the power loss. I did think abt paint or a wrap but I’m pretty hard on mine in the woods and a silver buggy with red scratches everywhere would drive me CRAZY

Most online parts fiches don't differentiate colors in the parts list. Unless you know what color is what part number.

The dealer level fiche is the only one I know that let's you pick color first.

Call Honda for part numbers. Their color codes are a mess. The less common colors (probably silver) will be more expensive.

a Honda not being red would drive me crazy - lol

I can speak from experience, the camo is white underneath it after scratches and sun peeling. In my opinion; that was a dumb idea from Honda. They should have used black filled plastic under the camo. It would look better.

With that being said I plan on doing a camo style vinyl wrap at some point. My thought process is that a vinyl pattern scratched would be busy enough to hide them versus something that is a single color with scratches that stand out.

I didn’t know the camo was white underneath. I would think Honda would be smarter than that. I love the pioneer tho after a little over 4000 miles the only big thing I don’t like is the color haha I guess that’s just me being picky. I’m gonna call the dealer tomorrow and see if I can get part numbers for the 2016 silver panels.

They had started peeling. I gave them to a buddy of mine.

The Red is fastest to turn pink. If they don't have the silver color for 2016 buy the white. I have a white 2016 and was able to slow it down to a controllable speed by adding some red here and there. If you go with the white,be extra careful! 🤣

This is proton blue.

 

[Spencer357]

I really like the look of the white but I’m afraid the Georgia red clay I ride in from time to time will stain it.

Do you have part numbers from when you bought the blue panels? Mine is a 5 but the hood and front clip part numbers should get me close to the others. Good looking buggy I like the bumper. What size tires do you run?

I would think the lighter color white would be less likely to show scratches than a darker color. If you were afraid of it staining you could spray it first with something like SC-1.
