Any easy way to paint the rims? I have masked off tires before but it takes a ton of tape and I still get some overspary out of a rattle can. what have others done?
I have used a thin piece of grey cardboard to wedge between the rubber and the rim. Carefully shoot that area and move it around and repeat. Did some 66 mustang rims that way. They looked new when I finished. You can do a lot of masking with just cardboard. Just don't get in a hurry with the spray. Light dusting on tires will easily come off with lacquer thinner or similar.Any easy way to paint the rims?

Or just use grease...........wipe off when finished painting.Cover the tire with vasaline, paint, then clean it off.
