The powder coatings an easy job on that swinger. I did mine when I did my s4 conversion. Satin black will look good. As long as you dont use the bike for a few weeks your ok. Take it off and stripped in 2 hours. You just need to brace your bike or suspend it from rafters.
Wheel off, suspension disconnect, disconnect exhaust, rearsets off so you can remove swing pivot, caliper off, split chain, unclamp to remove pinch bolts. Remove end circlips and pull out pivot saving the shims. Then un clamp to remove hub. There is a huge circlip to get out and thats it basically. I used a company in hackney called armourtex. They mask off areas pretty well.
