Finishing my latest S2 build...

Anyone know a color match paint in a rattle can to match the grey swingarm? It has one area of surface rust that I can easily get to with swingarm mounted on bike, so I'd like to sand and paint without removing swingarm so I'm looking for a close to perfect match.

I was hoping for an answer to this too.

No one knows the answer to this?

Just a wild ass guess here, but try some regular ol' steel wheel paint from the auto parts store. I can't imagine it being THAT different. Worst case, paint the whole swingarm a close shade, and make note of what color you painted it so you can touch it up later.

I have found a close match at the auto parts store in silver bumper paint, there are several different shades of paint available

Likely a shade of "argent" wheel color...pick one you like, it isn't like it matches any other piece of an S2 : )

Guess that's the answer.
