Top Tip Wheel Spraying

I refurbished a set of minlites for my old car,

took wheels off and bought a pack of playing cards. I then inerted the cards between the tyre and the wheel rim.

Sprayed away and used heatgun between coats and low and behold all of the wheel including the rim was completely coverd but not a bit on the rim

Cheers

BM

Like it a lot!


I had a good idea once for a product that was essentially a doughnut shaped cover to mask off tyres when you are spraying, waxing, whatever you want to do to your wheels and not your tyres.

Thermoformed ABS, clips in round the rim for all common sizes. Anyone want to buy it?
