coating a raw swingarm

There is a good powder in clear made for polished lips on wheels that has been holding real good on a few of my buddies cars...its made to withstand the elements and it doesnt turn yellow with UV light...I will get you the exact powder brand if you like...other than that it sounds like these guys gave you plenty of other avenues to choose from...

No, it was run through a machine that brushes the steel before it's even assembled.

I was just curious to see if any moisture was on the metal before it got PC's. I thought about doing a swing arm, pipes and a-arms raw but looks like i'll pass due to rust.

I attempted it with a raw drag pipe a LONG time ago. What a pita that was. You couldn't actually ride the bike anywhere. Shit would cake up on it. Then you end up scraping it off which looks nice on the pipe. If its a clean sand drag bike you might be able to pull it off. But not on something that gets trail ridden or even a duner I'd think.

most clear PC is porous, its classed as a decorative PC not a protective PC, at least working with clear coatings (paint or PC) nothing is hidden and you can keep an eye whats going on corrosion-wise, or if something like a swinger was starting to crack somewhere you could see it and sort it before it becomes a break.
