Powder coating the swing arm black

Thinking about powder coating my swing arm black to match the rest of the frame. Yay or nah?

Here's a pic of the bike, not the most recent one but you get the point.

Yes, I think it would look better as I am considering powdercoating several things on my 954 this winter.

Powder coat is ok .... but on swing arms , they still scratch and chit pretty easily.... looks goods though , spose it depends on how much road time you do and in what weather ??

Black chrome is real good, if you have any one near that gets into that ???
