Hi There,

I am told that a 2001 A1P ZRX may have been supplied with an anodised clear finish on the alloy swing arm.

I think it is fair to say mine won't clean up and leave a mint anodised finish (sadly).

So if it don't what is a good match for the original and hard wearing for chain lube stains etc.

This one has been suggested so far -

Rustoleum Universal paint/primer in Titanium Silver Aerosol

Any tips or avoids please?

Thanks for looking

Any silver paint will look shite in a few hundred miles.
Might be worth looking into getting it re-anodised.
Last time I enquired it wasn't as expensive as I thought..

or get it polished.

I had a polished swinger on my ZRX1200 for years and upkeep wasn't that bad

Mikey {Club Member} does anodising along with polishing and always a great feedback for his work

I just had a GSX1100 original box section swing-arm powder-coated silver, for exactly the reasons you describe, it looks great and will be wipe clean.

Yeah I had debated powder coat too.

Thanks for the other ideas.

Has anyone used that rustoleum stuff at all?

I believe you have that suggested to you on thee ZRXOC forum, so yes a few folks have used that. Most people either powercoat or polish though.
