Just wondering because someone told me that the ball joints would get ruined since they dont come out is this true? And how did they come out?

I have a friend who has his Raptor for a month or so and he hasnt complaided about anything. But something you can do to make it look better and the have a some what powder coat to it is, buy a can of spray of bed liner and spray it down. But that is just me !

I know that powder coating the a-arms a banshee will ruin them. When they bae them it melt the balljoint tops they are just plastic.

Yamaha4by4, Where can I buy the Stuff and can i get it diff. colors because i want to get it in blue and jus put the stuff all over the bottom ones. Because i took the paint off them and went to get them powdercoated but,someone told me that day after i took the paint off i cant do it so been riding and doesnt look to good so im probably just going to do what you said. So can I get them in diff colors? And where can I buy the Stuff At?

you can remove the ball joint and powder coat the bottom a-arm but you can not pawder coat the top cause you can not take the ball-joint out of the top a-arm but when i have my frame powder coated what i plan on doing is having the frame, sub frame and bottom a-arms powder coated and polishing the top since it is aluminum, i think that will look good

hell you can get the stuff from walmart. But I know they have different colors but i dont know where they sale them, try an auto parts store or maybe Superwalmart but be smart about where you spray it, and cover up anything that you dont want to get sprayed.
