[QUOTE="Rut Rider, post: 705936, member: 24844"] It's been awhile (about 4 yrs. ago) since I done this so I may be a little off with my info. There have been threads posted on this site about doing this, that is how I found the info. I bought some paint stripper at AutoZone, I think the paint stripper was actually called Airline aluminum paint remover?. It comes in an aeresol can. I found it in the paint section. That stuff is potent, it burns like a son of a #***! I sprayed this on the swingarm. Let it dry a few minutes and then the paint peeled right off with your fingers or rag. I then cleaned the swingarm with wadding polish (bought at AutoZone). Buffed with aluminum polish and walah! Be careful where you spray the cleaner. It would be rough on seals and bearings I imagine. The hardest part was getting the paint off of the small cracks and crevices. Do a search for threads on this subject. It looked great when I got finished. Much better than that scratched up paint. I was also going to do the front forks. That was before I rode an orange (KTM) bike and decided to just trade in the KDX and go to the orange side where things come already polished. [/QUOTE]
