Default So I was bored...

And this is what happened... What do ya think? I figured I'd give it a try, and if I didn't like it I'd just get them powdercoated, but I'm diggin it. I'll snap some better daytime pics tomorrow.

They were black, i intended on stripping the spokes and polishing them, but that turned out to be WAAAAAY more work than i had anticipated, so I said fug it, I'll spray them aluminum and clear it.

I polished a whole frame, swing arm, and wheels. I swore to myself that I would NEVER polish anything again.
