Take a deck of cards and slip them between the rim and tire.

Go to CT and pick up Duplicolor Metalcast Anodized Blue  
with/ Duplicolr Metalcast Anodized Primer and you are Set.

My friend did his Valve cover in Red looks like an SR.

I recommend buying a couple cans of aerosol stripper. Spray it on, rinse it off, and you’ll have a nice clean surface to paint on.

i used the same paint on my calipers on my old car and it chipped away over the winter…but a couple touchups here and there and it was all good…that was with about 2coats primer, 4coats anodized red…
