Default Ah powDer coat .. the swing arm ...ooohh yeeeesss

Well I was deciding to go with Paint or power coat the swing arm with extra expense of changing out the 3 Bearings and Dust / Oil Seals .. I took the decision go with power coat .. and I have to say it came out as if it came of the Honda production line , but better .. also decided to purchase a new shock as the plan is to keep this old lady for some time ...wheels were previously done as was the grab rale .. so she is looking good ....thanks to all for there inputs and advice as its always welcome

Can't go wrong with powder coat...I'd powder coat my entire body silver if I could.

Then you'd look like the silver surfer TBT..................

Powder coat does look good, I just worry about it's ability to withstand stone chipping.

Looks good. I like powder coat and that's a nice shock you've got there.

Marine grade works well repelling water especially for that super soggy Irish weather
