Default Quad make over

My sister and her fella bought this for their little one Suzuki LT50, when they got it home it looked pretty tatty, poor paint work etc.

So decided to give it a make over, their little lad LOVES anything bright green so decided to go for Kawazaki green and black, even thought it is a suzuki lol!!!

Before...



and after, I repainted the tank, bull bars,wheels, the handle bars, brake leaver and throttle control and the fenders, the foot plates etc, pretty much anything that would come off the frame, then created some vinyl graphics to give some protection on the fenders.















Hope he likes it, took plenty of work lol!!

Cheers lads.

Rob, the paint is just 2PK, the guy was supposed to have used some sort of special primer but ended up rushing the job and slapped paint on - maybe with a plastic primer first (so he claimed lol!!), bit miffed but then he didn't charge much for what he did. No doubt it will damage with a few knocks and bangs but I can look at re-sorting it if it doesn't last.

Another option is to use vehicle wrap in the colour you want, just tricky to do it.
