Default Pointy swingarm = steel?

Hi all,

If one has a pointy with a slightly rusty swingarm and other bits, can they be rubbed down and repainted, or touched up to remedy this? I hear if it's made of aluminium that won't work but steel would be ok?

I saw a 55 plate last week and everything was either dry and/or rusty. Lots of rust bubbling through on the forks especially. If there is light service rust is this easily treated? I got home and looked at my curvy and the only errosion, which I already knew of, was on the front forks!

Dave
