probably great.

One tip I've found that works great for us lazy folks:
-If you're painting wheels with the tires still on them, and bunch of notecards stuck between the tire and rim is a fast and easy way to keep overspray off of the rubber

how does that look on a red car? with polished lip :)

[DarkWing6]

If you wanted polished lips you would do the polish instead of the paint on the lips and everything would work, right?
