Raizer Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Thin smear of Vaseline anywhere you dont want paint. Or spend fucking ages with masking tape and a raiser blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Mask off the dish, turn them upside down and spray through the holes, let them dry, lightly sand off the wires and polish with minimal polishing compound so it dosent make the fresh paint look arse, thn maybe another coat from behind, flip over and wipe excess paint off wires.

kyteler Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Get some pinstripe of the same width as the spokes. Mask up. For larger area's/rim then use regular masking tape. Spray. Win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubblegoose Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 two 10cfm compressors linked with a good water trap will do a car nicley the lower the cfm the more the compressors will struggle and the more water you get in the air and the paint goes shit go too low and it runs out of air and you cry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 For some reason I lold a lot at that drawing. Probably for its cruidness and kiwi way of thinking... "More flo bro" I find for wheels spray cans are where its at, unless they are a large flat surface area or are nice nice wheels. For cars I get someone to do it haha.
