Got tired of looking at my manky rusty swingarm so decided to give her a good old restore today.

This is how it looked before i started

After some sanding down, priming and respraying with silver and lacquer this is how it turned out

Then started sandblasting parts of my brake caliper and wheel adjusters and things.

Bit of paint on the adjusters

Put everything back on and im pretty damn happy with how it turned out Very Happy
