  The problem of a color-charged point particle interacting with a four
dimensional Yang-Mills gauge theory is revisited. The radiation damping is
obtained inspired in the Dirac's computation. The difficulties in the
non-abelian case were solved by using an ansatz for the Li\'enard-Wiechert
potentials, already used in the literature for finding solutions to the
Yang-Mills equations. Three non-trivial examples of radiation damping for the
non-abelian particle are discussed in detail.
