Boothy Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 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.Like this:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/McVaaahhh/91%20CBR600F2/swingarm2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin the Bear Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Or get it powder coated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The primer you need costs as much as the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothy Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Turns out my dad knows a powder coater, going to get it done there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megawatt Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
