tape wrote:WHat do you reckon, paint the swing arm or powder coat it.? Black was my first choice in color for the swing arm for the ZXR 750.

I can get access to a sand blaster and paint booth for nix. So I'll be doing most of it myself unless I fark up the first try...lol

I also do not want to polish the bastard.

Can someone point me to the threads on painting hints plz... :wink:

cheers
Depends on if it is a roadie, or a trackie???? If you are racing it, then forget powder coating, unless you enjoy frequent trips to the powder coaters to re-do it. But if its a roadie, then it's a top idea! :)

IMO. Whatever you do to the frame you should do to the swing arm. I would have thought it would look odd any other way.
