when i moved into my new house a year ago i wanted to do this, so i did a few months ago, and just havent bothered showing you guys, but i guess i will now, in the corner i built a laptop table out of some old holeshot sx tires, bolted them to the wall then got a place to cut me a triangle shape 5/8" glass as the shelf, put some speakes in the tires and your good to go, pretty sweet hey?.... also the theme of my 450... gotta find a way to put monster stickers on my quad (i have textured rhino liner painted on my plastics)

I like your tire recycling. Use them for a corner shelving unit.... pretty slick!

On a side note.... for your black plastics. Did you achieve the flat black look by sanding them, painting them, or something else?

thanks man its pretty sweet, nice and makeshift, just how i like it hahah

and there actually somewhat "shiny" becuase i clear coated them, but i was using a out of the can style bedliner, and it was very flat black, almost a grey to it though, and once i clear coated it, it came alot darker and shinier, if you were looking for a flat black play around with a few different brands of the bed liner becuase different brands are a different shade of black, or, just get the most durable one and then paint ontop of it flat black, then clear coat after for durability if you want,

if you are planning on doing this then i highly suggest sandblasting your plastics so add abraisive to it for the paint to stick, my first time i just got sandpaper and went to town for a hour or 2, but spots that stayed smooth (the battery box, ect) the paint peeled very easy, but the spots that were sanded well, like the main surface on the fender nose, is impossible to come off, i tried taking my plastics to a sandblaster after a while to make it all a even roughness and the spots that were sanded well i could hold the gun there for a minute and only get the size of a toonie off... rediculous.. do it right the first time haha

other wall...


would have loved to do a wall as a big redbull can too.. but its hard to do it.. i had to go to staples ( a office style walmart dunno if you have them in the states) and get a clear projector sheet made for it, borrow a "old school" projector from my old school, and then trace it out on the wall, prime it so it wouldent show the black, then do 2 coats of green and white.. quiet time consuming but wicked haha

anyone else done this type of thing in there garage or anything
