Swingarm repainting

[Boothy]

Basically the swingarm on my bike could do with being resprayed as the paint has worn away in some places and I want to respray it, so I am going to spray it black. I have seen somebody on here respray there swingarm, it looks good but I want more of a matt black like bikes come stock rather than a shiny effect.

I think what you want is a SATIN black not matt

Hamerite do a nice smooth chip resistant satin in aerosol if your interested

Fire away

Yep....I'd definitely go with the Hammerite Smoothrite Satin as it really is chip resistant and you can get a nice finish with it too.

Or get it powder coated

Hamerite won't stick to alluminium. The primer you need costs as much as the paint.

Turns out my dad knows a powder coater, going to get it done there

You will need to remove any plastic or rubber seals and grommets. Clean all the grease off the swingarm bearings and mask em from the powder. Ain't seen matt finish, only gloss from powder coaters.
