I thought you were talkin about some old, worn-out quad. I think the Troy Lee Predators look good from the factory...why would you want to start painting stuff already? Paint will just flake off and look worse than just leaving it alone. If anything, I would just do like hubs, calipers, little things...

you can always polish stuff, that you can do yourself, it just takes some time

i like my wheeler, its powerful, nice looking, but i want to feel like its more unique, i wasnt to do the lil things that no one else would have...im not talking about taking and spray painting my plastics, everything done witll be done proffesional

your on the right track, just line out a plan and a color scheme and make it happen. graphics kits, custom seat covers, shock covers, some pc work here and there.

thanks pappy, anything individual ideas?...


does anyone know where i can get a graphics kit for my predator?....all i can find is these diy ones, or no names, i want some like, skin, or monster energy, or nacs or something, but i cant find any....


thanks again

sharpen the foot pegs, it makes a big diffrence. Well it does for me anyways.

And I know this cost $. but new handle bar grips help me alot. Nothing like a nice fresh set of grips.

If you just want to work on it. do some maintance on everything. Take the front end off and lube up all the bushings. And never sieze the bolts. Take the swing arm bolt out and never sieze that to.
