I don't care for the polished cast wheel spokes on my new Bonneville. As a visual experiment I decided to black out the spokes to see what the effect would be. With the wheels on the bench I began by cleaning the surface and applying the first of two coats with a wide artists brush. The finish is a bit lumpy but it will serve its purpose. When the bike is back together I'll see what I think of the new look. And if I don't like it, It'll peel right off.
