Wheels

Being strapped for cash means not being able to afford the luxury of bead blasting or powdercoating what you want to have done... So, the next logical solution is a lot of elbow grease, and some rattle-can enamel..

Rear wheel as it was when I pulled it off the bike.


Rear wheel as it began transformation. Notice the aluminum oxidation and overall 'gross factor' of the surface.. Note, after some hard work, the lower left portion of the wheel looks quite a bit shinier than the rest of the surface.


After hours of cleaning and masking, I devised a coat-hanger rigging on the garage door to begin painting. For this, i chose a gloss enamel to offset the flat black of the frame.




Another view of my redneck ways- hanging the wheel from the garage door in the apt. complex.
