Cosmic

I have a set of 5 Cosmic wheels for my Triumph. They are Mk2 ones apparently, or so says Lord Leon off Club Triumph forums (he's not actually a Lord, you know).

A have them a while so I decided to give one of them some attention and see what they would clean up like. Here is the before shots.



































I did this is the shed at the house, so all I had was some paint stripper, a wire brush and brillo pads (!). I gave it a go anyway. Here's what I got.




































Pity I didn't have a sand blaster. But I think I did alright with what I had. I originally planned to strip all the front, but I wanted to see what they would look like with just the spokes painted. I quite like them like that, so I may keep them that way. I don't have any wheel paint that would replace the balck, so it'll stay like that! =P




Ps - pictures are so akward on these blogs...
