    i want to spray my rims but getting my tires off to do it is kinda loong, so i was wondering if anyone has done it with the tires on and taped over them.
    or is it possible to take my tires off myself and do it.

    iv dun a few sets for m8s now
    what i do is let the tyres down so makes it easyer to put tape around the edge

    works fine and u cant tell if u have or havnt taken the tyres of when the tyres are pumped back up

    tyres

    ive used a similar trick,let the tyres down then put cardboard between the tyre and the rim(breakfast cereal box type)fill in any little gaps with masking tape. then spray away :D bit of a short cut but it works :D

    yh that would work but if you use masking tape you can paint both sides at the same time

    best way to do this ( i have done alot of rims ) is to let the tire flat fold it over to one side masking tape it down then spray trust me its the best way :w00t:
