Any recommendations for the best matching silver paint for touching up the swing arm on a K3 please.
Hey mate, dont know of any matching paint. Its brushed aluminium, I managed to blend in some blemishes using wet n dry paper and finally a scotch-brite pad, no need to paint.
They're brushed aluminium with a clear anodised coating on top. Eric's suggestion would be best if you don't want to remove and refinish it.
Ditto, I thought I had pulled my swing arm, but I cleaned it in situ, no paint needed.
D.D.

If you're that far in, I'd drop the swingarm out anyway. The bearings benefit from a regrease, particularly the left side where any condensation etc in there runs when parked.
