Can I powder coat the swing arm?


Oxxa

Question

My swing arm needs a little restoration and I thought I would ask if its possible to powder coat it, or is it a job for the auto paint shop?

Powder coat is not as good as everybody thinks.
The layer is thick and hard and will chip quickly, a thin layer with a good 2K paint applied the right way will look good much longer.

Powder coating vs paint.  Which is more durable?   Powder coating.  No ifs, ands or buts.   Ask any painter or any powder coated that does it for a living.

Yes, you 100% can powder coat anything. Not going to get into the discussion of paint vs powder vs wrap vs cerakote vs whatever else. I've powder coated mine, and I'm pretty happy.
