Front wheel painted and putting things together

I sandblasted the front wheel with crushed glass then painted the whole thing white, including the spokes and hub. I did this because getting new spokes is difficult for this bike and finding someone to lace them even more difficult.
Then I taped off all the spokes and hub, except for the spoke adjusters


Then I painted the rim turquoise
Once the tape was removed, I was left with a pretty sharp looking wheel
I assembled as many pieces as I could to get an idea if everything looks good together. I'm pleased with the results so far but am dreading the mounting of the tires and the electrical.
