swingarm painted or anodised

[midden]

I remember from reading on here somewhere that it is anodised and is a real arse to get down to metal to polish and i think the foc'er wished they had not started. I also think that once it is polished that it is going to be a problem to keep that way due to all that is attached to it and round the back - and so on, what about just doing the flat side that faces out. 

I don't want to remove the anodised coat, way too much elbow grease and sweat involved for life.  I just figured if it was paint then I could rain it to tidy it up a little..........even then that's on the if I can be arsed list  :rollin
