I got a bee in my bonnet this weekend and decided to paint my Burgie's wheels red. Check the Gallery page.

Cheers,

Bob

Thats an outstanding job, must have taken some time.

Was it really spur of the moment stuff? :?

Looks good.

Norman, it was a photo of the Aprilia Leonardo SR500 that I saw a while ago that prompted me to do it, but was too lazy until now to do it! It took an hour or so to remove and clean each wheel, 5 minutes with a rattle can to paint, then another hour or so to put them back on! I think they look pretty cool.

Cheers,

Bob

havent seen those wheels but i did the same to mine. took off all the bright metal and repainted semi gloss. fork tubes all screws wheels muffler guard and tip. also did the swing arm and rear shocks. looks good to me. too a few hours to do and then a few hours to dry, and reinstall. sure make the bike stand out now. so go for it and make your burgy your very own custom.

How would you wash the rims, doesn't the paint get scraped off? Also does that give a smooth finish like powder coating or a rough matt finish?

It's a mix. A crude hue of magniesium cutting, but pretty smooth as well.

I don't know about it's crap catching quotient.

Prsnly I liked the red rims.

Red rims

Burger Bob,

Definately your own custom look. I like it. :lol: I think even a bright darker blue to match your flames also would have been interesting.
