Smile custom painted swingarm

Has anyone custom painted their swingarm? I'm not talking black either. Everyone has chrome or black it seems . I'd be interested in seeing one painted to match the color of the bike.

I think the Rockers were factory painted to match the tins

Both of my bikes have factory painted matching frames and swing arms.

Some great pictures have been posted where guys have stripped their bikes down and repainted the frame to something other than the typical black.

I had just seen a bike last weekend. This guy had a custom painted bike, it was silver with a very heavy gold flake in the paint. He painted the swing arm the same silver and gold flake as the rest of the bike and it not only looked different, it looked pretty sweet too! Mine is chrome, I am a open and honest chrome ***** but next winter I may be painting my bike and if I do I am now considering doing the same thing, only if I can find another swing arm though. I won't peel the chrome off of this one so that I can paint it. I already have another tank, just need fenders now. I don't want to lose or ruin my stock painted tins, I want to save them. The same goes for my chrome swing arm. If you decide to do it I would love to see some good pics posted.

You might get lucky on ebay. Swapped out stock stuff listed from time to time.
