Frank, Ya been lookin in my bag a tricks! Really it does work great . Years ago when I worked for a Construction, Trucking Co. as the resident painter-bodyman I had a local sheet metal shop roll me some heaver gauge for the 10 hunnerd 22's and it saved a ton of time!

Re: Neat fast trick for masking/painting wheels with the tires still on

Another idea... Use any liquid soap and paint it on your tires. Let it dry a bit and paint your wheels. then just hose off the soap and the overspray comes w/ it!

I like it!
That should work on any surface.
That's more better than the bearing grease I've been using for YEARS!!!!!!!!!!
Thanx!

Always open to new ideas.

That's kinda what I do. Except I mix a solution of Comet Cleanser and water until it looks like latex paint. Brush it on the tire, let it dry, paint, let dry, then hose it off. Overspray's gone and your tires are clean too. Also, you can use it with a small artist's brush on the valve stem.

Re: Neat fast trick for masking/painting wheels with the tires still on

if you are painting chrome or rust use etch primer so the paint will stick well

also the bulldog paint adhesive stuff works good too

learned the hard way when I blasted my wheels with the high preasure wand
