2007 GSA swing arm paint color?  Preferably aftermarket.  Might repaint.

If you have it off, cleaned up and ready, consider powder coat if budget allows.

Good idea.  $ and it’s not off.

Morning David

 

I don't have an exact match for an aftermarket color for you but a guy in my riding group repainted his swingarm a couple of years ago  & it looked fairly decent.  

 

He found a silver "wheel paint" at an auto parts store that was a close match when dry. Wheel paint is typically not real shinny or real flat but has that semi-gloss but somewhat shinny look. 

 

If you haven't removed your swing arm yet then you might try a few test patches using auto store silver wheel paint. Test in inconspicuous  places on your swing arm to find something that looks close. Or just test on a piece of metal then see if it matches.

Will look into it..

I found that many of the "silver" pieces on my '06 RT were called white aluminum (code 954), a metallic matte, used on the swing arm, valve covers, and luggage rack. After buying exact match paint from ColorRite, I found that it was indistinguishable from generic rattle can aluminum paint from the hardware store, at a tenth of the price.

I recently painted my valve covers. I found an exact match rattle can.
