About

Our Approach

Old school, with a twist. We approach each project as if it were our own. The techiniques we use to restore your motorsport plastics are innovative, and each part goes through our process one at a time, touched by hand the entire way. Vintage racing and recreational riding are a passion for us here at Plastic Renovations, and so is meticulous workmanship and attention to detail. You can be assured that when you send us your parts for restoration they will be treated professionally from the moment they enter our facility to the instant they are sent back to you. We are the only operation of our kind anywhere in the world. With sales now in the UK and Europe, by way of Rad Fismistr, we are able to offer more personalized service to our European friends and customers. Our work shop is located in southern Nevada where Phil Cox will personally ensure that each part is finished to as close to OEM beauty as possible.

Phil Cox, Founder

Phil Cox has been passionate about motorcycles ever since he was a kid. At age 9 he received his first motorcyle, an Indian 50 with a four speed transmission. From there he progressed to a Monark 125. Despite his parent's dislike for motorbikes, Phil continued his endeavor of buying, selling and riding motorcycles. During high school, Phil took an auto body class that became the catalyst for his momentum. Over the next 30 years, Phil's works have been featured on the pages of "Chevy High Performance", "Rod & Custom" and "Road & Track" magazines in addition to other automotive industry publications.

Phil has ventured into the archetectural field as well. His works can be seen in the Las Vegas hotels New York New York and Aria. Sometime in 2004, Phil was hired at Vacuum Metal Coatings as a clear coat specialist where he mastered chroming on plastic. He worked with a multitude of projects stemming from the aerospace, automotive, ATV and music industries. It was then that Phil recognized his niche in the field of plastics and Plastic Renovations was formed in 2009.

Rad Fismistr, In Memoriam

Rad Fismistr raced Motocross in the UK from 1980 to 1991 riding Japanese and European 125’s, 250’s and 500’s. Rad’s passion for the bikes of that era, lead him to finding then restoring some of his favourite bikes to show standards. His bikes have featured in some leading "Vintage Dirt Bike" magazines in the UK and Australia.

One of the hardest and most expensive things to find when restoring a bike are new old stock (NOS) plastics for the bikes. After finding Phil Cox at Plastic Renovations in the USA and having an old used plastic Honda tank restored, Rad was stunned by the quality of the work Phil had achieved. Both Phil and Rad decided to promote Plastic Renovations in the UK and Europe.

Finally, bike restorers, racers and enthusiasts have a fast, friendly and reliable service to bring old plastics back to life. No need to settle for poor quality repro plastics for your bike, or spend years finding super rare NOS plastics and spending a small fortune buying them. Restore the old plastics that are already on your bike and make them look NOS for a fraction of the effort and cost.

Rad attended Offroad Bike Shows in the UK to show off Plastic Renovations services as well as advertised in the leading "Vintage Dirt Bike" magazines in the UK, Europe and Australia. We are the only company that offers this level of plastic restoration and we have been trusted to restore plastics on factory works bikes.

 
 
 
Unfortunately, Rad passed away suddenly on August 13, 2017. Rad contributed to the growth of Plastic Renovations and will be greatly missed.
