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.
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

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.

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.
