Its a bit of a pain in the arse tbh. Use thin card to wedge between the rim and the tyre and overlap them. You can then mask over that up and over the tyre. Takes a little bit of time, but worth it not to get paint all over your tyres!

Those are yours? There great bud. look great!!! Really good finnish!!!

Going to try a refurb myself then. Not sure on the bbs or audi wheels thou.

Iv done a bit of painting, but not alot. Whats 2k stuff? Probably a really stupid question but as far as my paint knowledge goes halfrauds is as far as it goes :-P


Yes mate have a go,2k/2pack,its how the paint is made up as it requires an activator to make it dry/harden,1 part paint 1 part activator,this sort of paint is really tough and durable ,i have had really good results with aerosol cans too so that is an option if youve got no spraying equipment. :smiley:
