Not with a camera shoved in the middle of me face i couldnt.
Took about 4 hours of constant wet n dry from 120 grit to 1200 grit an hour or so of surface prep on main wheel followed by 2 coats of paint and 1 coat of laquer.
I tried it basically coz i dont have 300 spare quid to hand having just bought a house total outlay = 59p per sheet of wet n dry 5 intotal and partly used and about 6pounds on paint, then will fit them and see if i should have paid the 300 after all.
Ty for the positive feedback, much appreciated.

I think they look spot on. If you had said they had been professionally refurbed I would have beleived you from that pic.

but what the hell was going on with them before ?!?!?
Very nice sir!!!
Top job id say!!!
What did you use to get the old paint of the body of the wheel?? Did you blast them or use chemicals or other?
