BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The Poison Spyder Customs Bolt-Together Trail

Cage Kit comes as unpainted, bare steel. You will

want to either powder coat or paint the parts prior

to final installation, however it is very important to

PRE-INSTALL then remove entire kit, following

these instructions, BEFORE painting or powder

coating any of the components! This will ensure

that all parts are correct and any incidental

trimming or drilling will have been done prior to

coating. Also, it will give you a practice run to

familiarize yourself with the process, to lessen

the likelihood of damaging the finish during final

installation.
IMPORTANT: Poison Spyder Customs, Inc. is

NOT RESPONSIBLE for paint or powder coating

costs, damage to paint or powder coating, or

costs associated with inadvertently painting or

powder coating components that are defective

or were shipped or assembled in error. It is the

customer’s responsibility to pre-install and verify

that all parts are correct prior to paint or powder

coat.
