There is another thread in here were I painted my frame and swingarm with regular Dupont spraypaint and it is holding up fine. Hi-temp spray might have been better for the swingarm, as it gets pretty hot (I may go over it with hi temp clearcoat) and it will definitely be needed if you want to paint the lower fairing by the muffler. It can look pretty good if you take your time taping up the bike.

I am currently in the process of doing the wifes bike. I am using Duplicolor brake caliper paint and it holds up pretty good. I will post some pics when I get them done.
