I have an 888 which has a few scuffs and scrapes on the swingarm which look a bit unpleasant and are rather eyecatching in side profile. I would like to tidy up said item and achieve as near to a standard finish as possible (not brightly polished!).
Has anyone any experience of this? I thought possibly a soft bead blast and then a lacquer might do it, but I would appreciate any tips!
Also I would like to know paint codes for wheels/frame/motor for '93 888 if poss!
I'm sure SS codes and S/A advice would apply also.
Regards
Justin

The original finish is anodised. To restore it properly would require the anodising to be removed, the swinging arm to be repolished to remove the marks and then re-anodised. A suitable silver paint might be an acceptable compromise.
