Wheel Painting Advice

TJ,
How did you go about masking off the rim of the bottlecaps?

Masking tape - lots of it.

I used RUstoleum Professional. got it at Lowes . its in a big can. like 5 bucks each can. I just barely finished on can on all four of my wheels. masking is a PITA I didnt even sand. I just washed them. they were kinda corroded on the dish part. the chrome was peeling. thats why I painted them. to cover up some stuff.


* I painted everything BUT the lip. and my bottlecaps started out as chromies. TJ painted only the center. he did not paint the lip nor the dish part.
Have fun.

My bottle caps look so bad. Dam winter. I dunno about all this effort though. Im thinking flat black.

I think I am going to spray the basketweaves black and leave the lip silver....sick of cleaning them damn wheels :roll:

Woo! Thank you sir. I did use index cards, but somehow I got crazy with the spray can and ended up with overspray.
