Swingarn paint

[mister c]

I have a few little potholes & scratches on my swingarm & wondered if anybody knew a simple fix. I dont want to powder coat as the marks are small & very few & far between.

This is the worst part where the brake line has been.

Give it a rub down with some wet and dry, then touch in the area with a bit of hammerite . Its worth a try especially if that area is where the brake pipe sits.

Yes hammerite Smoothrite satin silver Spray gives a good finish and match. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HAMMERITE-SMOOTHRITE-SILVER-400ML-AEROSOL-METAL-PAINT-/140300389746?pt=UK_DIY_Material_Paint_Varnish_MJ&hash=item20aa8e0d72

Thanks you very much I will pop to Halfrauds tomorrow after work I think :)

My brake line is wearing a hole in my swingarm...I wouldn't mind, but I never use the thing!

Lozzo had a thread from years ago where he used "Simoniz 5 Wheels" as it was a good match for the type of colour used on the SV forks . Dunno if it will be a match for Poo`s Swingarm but that is from Halfords too .

[mister c]

Nice one my furry friend, will look into that one too :)

Is this on Poo or the SV by the way ?

[mister c]

It's the Sv muck.

The simonise wheel paint may be the better option to match colour for local touch up, the smoothrite gives a better finish if you spray the whole arm.
