sheerider1026 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 why not have it powdercoated??? that spray paint is gonna chip and scratch very soon. leaving the swingarm looking like shit.. and will probably rust when the paint is gone... pm me if you need it powdercoated.. i can powdercoat just about anything you need, if not keep your eyes open and ask around.. there are more guys on here doing powdercoat besides me... later,gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh88 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 If you have the coin, PC it. Otherwise, prime and spray it yourself for a few bucks. The swingarm is usually the first thing to get dirty on a ride so why spend a lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duplicolor makes a self etching primer for metal that will let u use tons of colors and just remember to put on several coats of clear to hold the color !!!!!!!! ill try to get some picks on.. ps they also make a satin plastic paint that makes your covers look like new and is also self etching....... :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodstockBanshee Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Powder Coat it! I have just done mine in a black hammertone! I will post pics soon of the total frame up restoration! I will be done in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STREETSWEEPAZ Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 If its already blasted - Your local Powdercoater should be able to do it for less than $25 bucks....... If your looking for protection on your metal - Use a single stage paint from you local autobody supplier (Costs more than Powdercoating) Or you can pick up a quart of Oil Based Rustoleum by the pint/quart & have it tinted to match whatever you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
