2005 Polaris sportsman 700 EFI Indy Red

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for information about what paint will match to the Polaris Sportsman Indy Red color (in a spray can). I want to paint the front bumper Red and a couple other pieces to get a little more red in the mix. Also I want to paint the factory rims black, but not sure what’s going to hold up the best. Also if I paint the rims Black would you go with a flat, matte, semi-gloss? and what would you do with the hubs (Black, Red or leave them)

Here’s a couple of before pictures

unhook high beam and utilize stock wiring

ok so i put a radiator relocation kit on…that made my high beam sorda useless so im gonna put a light l.e.d. light bar on…i was curious if i can get away with just unhooking the light and using the wires to hook up the l.e.d. lights so when i hit the stock switch to high beam it just works…how much juice ya think i can run through the stock setup…the l.e.d. light bar is 72 watts and i have 2 20 watt l.e.d. cubes that i may wanna hook up…if i cant then i’ll go a different route

2″ receiver help Pics inside

I picked up a 2009 Sportsman 850 this past weekend and wanted to put a Kolpin 2" receiver on. I have been out of the ATV game for many years and new to Polaris but seems odd the pin hole for the 1 1/4" stock receiver is top to bottom and not side to side. Is this common? I reached out to Kolpin and they said they have not heard of the pin hole being drilled top to bottom. Please help!

This pic is looking down on the receiver.
