    Easy tire mask trick

    I may not be the first to do this but I have never seen it done before so I thought I would share. I had perfect results , was even able to get paint into the bead. Used 3 decks with about 15/20 cards left so 3 decks should work up to 17" rim. Bought the cards at the dollar store, was cheaper than a roll of blue masking tape, and took less than 5 minutes to set up.

        Did that once to repaint some old winter wheels. Works like a charm!

                +1 on the index cards as well. Worked great for a quick repaint on my stock weaves.
