Need opinions....

Got a Metmachex swingarm in a sweet little purchase awhile back, and it is a little on the scruffy side, not terrible by any means, and I am wondering...should I bring it back to a mirror polish like it was brand new, or have it painted or powdered gloss black? My bike is black and I think it would be pretty freaking sharp blacked out, but I am torn because the polished would be pretty dang smooth too. I put it in your hands ladies and gents...

Paint or powder coat will make your life easer, not having to (polish :huh: spelling?) it to keep it nice.

Once polished it's easy to keep polished.

Was that your first time and how hard is it to bring back a polish, rather than creating one from a rough matte finish? Do you have a link or something. Looks great, thanks Mark.

It gets shiny if I hit it with neverdull, so it isn't too far off. Any info is helpful. What tools did you use? Thanks.
