Ok so a colleague at work got me a present for helping him out with his son’s Australian citizenship.

It was this.

Here’s a video of how everything is meant to turn out.

It looks pretty decent to be honest, and the idea is that at night, as there is some fluorescent powder in there it makes motorbikes easier to see. Brilliant!

So how did it all turn out?

So yep, it looks pretty damn ugly, and it takes a lot of effort.

They said in the video somewhere that it doesn’t need to be super neat because the wear on the road of the excess paint on the wheel will rub that off …however i’m left thinking…. why don’t you just dip the whole wheel in a bucket of paint? and then you can do exactly that later,  and it will saves heaps of time.
