Painting my race wheels… did the first color (a few shades more grey than gunmetal black) and now I’m ready to mask off the lip to do it a different color.
I have amazing patience, so I know I can do it by hand, but anyone have any ideas on how to more quickly tape off a good circle?
The wheels are (picture taken before painting started):
Bring them over, bring me some (decent) beer (like a growler of spaten optimator from McGregors) and I’ll do them for you. Call the cell, I’m headed outside.
take regular painters tape (thicker goes faster) and tape off horizontally accross the wheel. then use a razor and cut out wherever you want paint to touch. thats how i did the wheels on the Camaro.
3M makes a vinyl tape (blue) is very plyable and easy to run without wrinkles. Similar feel to electrical tape. Can find it at automotive stores or Urban Paint in Tonawanda.
