How to get that brushed aluminium finish on rims?

(1/3) > >>

MartyC:
I am after doing something a little different on a pair of Araya Aero rims and am thinking that instead of doing the usual bling thing and that I would go for a brushed finish. 

So, what would be the best way to get that brushed look on the rims and to get it even looking?

oldschoolace:
Cupped piece of wet or dry in one hand, drop the rim in the paper and rotate the rim with your other hand  :)

oldschoolace:
Depending on the "grade" of brushed effect you want you could also use a good quality wire wool  :daumenhoch:

bmxbandit:
WIRE WOOL !!  "wantit"

use wet and dry 1200 or 1000 grade
use water and fairy liquid as well
cup the paper in your hand and grip the wheel then rotate round the rim

hope makes sense  :daumenhoch:

Marty, put wheels on bike and then ride really fast through a long, dense bramble bush.  :daumenhoch:
