Swingarn paint
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.

Re: Swingarn paint
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-SMOO...item20aa8e0d72

Re: Swingarn paint
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 .

Re: Swingarn paint
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.
