Anyone of you predator owners noticed that the Frame Paint on these Predator suck. It seems Like polaris didn't use any primer paint or something.I've noticed that the paint seems to be very thin .Also if you rub a sport on the frame you can see it get darker and dull.They did't paint these things as good as the scamblers.I've welded on my scrammy frame many time andevey time it is hard to get the paint off those scrammy's.But these predator paint just wears off if you even scrub them clean.They also chip real easy to.
Has any of you guys painted them a different color?I've been thinking about a rip apart project just to paint the frame,but that is alot of work for me with these broken ribs of mine.How about some touch up paint?Do any of you know of a good match for the stock frame paint?

Thanks
Matt

 

I painted my frame and sub frame GM truck solid red. I painted the swing arm & a-arms a GM car silver. It looks good with black plastic. I used Duponts Imron paint. When it cures its the hardest most durable paint on the market. The only thing thats any better is powercoating.

 

Hey Matt--
Give your self a break...you dont need to be breathing in paint fumes when your lungs frame is healin dude...Ya been through a lot...get better not crazy...lol....
That Pred is easier to fix than you...you still have the Scrambler to play with till the Pred goes dont you ?
Give it HEAL, I mean He11...Just save those ribs cause they aint no fun!!

 

Yo that sounds cool. do you have any picture to show

 

HAMMERINHANK- your right about the lungs they do need to heal along with the ribs. I"m so bored though and If I can't ride them would like to make the predator look better. should know friday how my lungs are and if they can wrap them yet. hope they can because everting i do I feel.Breath ,talk,move,or even **** you name it I feel it.
I'm just crazy sometimes and he pain pills work some times.
THanks for the concern.
I woud still at least kow of a good matching fame paint.
Thank you all for your concern!!!!
Matt

 

The paint on my Predator hasn't came off...yet.

 

It will, It's not like the paint just falls off. It just dosen't take the abuse of sand and rocks as good as the rest of the quads do.My pre has a ton of little chips in it up front,and ths isn't because I ride in the back of the pack.Most of the time I'm out front leading everyone eles.
It also just seems to be thin If you got some oil on the frame to wipe off Don't wie it hard it may dull the finish.
