Minging bonnet and alloys - advice please

[raymond.harper]

"Anyway, the difference is night and day - thanks for all the tips, really helped. I now have a lovely crusty bonnet ornament in my room. Anyone know a good way to get rid? Local scrap man?"
Could be aluminum so maybe a scrap metal merchant may want it. Stick it in Facebook Marketplace or here in the for sale section.

Here's the pics in daylight.

I'm very happy with it tbh, couldn't be any worse than before!

Is anyone able to point me in the direction of someone who offers a swap + cash thing for alloys? Read a few posts about it I think..

Looks right enough in the sunshine
First Aid Wheels in West Hampstead do a huge range of exchange refurbished alloys. https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/firstaidwheels?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=jw3w1j2NTo-&sssrc=3418065&ssuid=gngtrv3rtq2&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Update on the wheels:

See pictures below. Firstly, I know it's not very good, I've overshot with the paint in places, and the old lacquer outlines can still be seen below. But, it's infinitely better than it was earlier, and until tonight I'd never held a can of spray paint

But... relatively happy with the results. This was all done for £50 and I think that's a bargain - yes it's nowhere near as good as a refurbishment, but I've spent a tonne already on maintenance and this is all my budget will allow for.

Anyway, some photos of my prep incase any lunatic feels like doing the same :roll:
