Hey, Tony,

Another master lesson in progress, as far as I can see,

And also, I think that your truly nickname is "Indefatigable" ...

Cheers, Tony

Tony ,sorry mate ,I only caught this one : maybe too late ,but I start by painting the rim first ,then usually I find a coin the same size as the rim ,set it on and paint the sidewall a washer or something will do as long as ya cover the hole ;D

Chris.

 

[Tony lee]

Now Chris that is a pregnant idea. ;D
I'll go right now and look through my wife's purse for MY change.

Road wheels are not a problem but to pay $40 plus postage to only paint a few front tires for half tracks
is not worth it.
I appreciate the suggestion but it's not practical for me.

Thanks

Go to a stationary store and pick yourself up a circle template....all different sizes of circles. Then all you have to do is match a circle to the size of the rim, mask the surrounding ones and spray.

Easy Peasy

Alright my bestist nephew just the guy I need.

How do you paint the tires???? The tire sidewalls bulge out a bunch and my circle template won't fit down enough to cover the tires to paint the rims without getting over spray on the tires.
What do you do paint the rims then use a disk to cover the center and then paint the tire?

Thanks ???

Hey unc!

what I do is free, only maybe a little time consuming but Im in no rush.

I thin my tire color to an almost wash consistency, when I apply it, it flows around the rim via capilary action. It may take a couple of applications due to its thinness but its really simple and easy and best of all the demarcation between tire and rim is clean, sharp amd consistent.

HTH

Thanks Kid
Not having the steadiest hands anymore I was trying to stay away from a brush but your way would take care of that problem. As you know i'm a neat freak and take pride in being so.

Hope you stayed dry over there.

My hand isnt always so steady either but as you mentioned, it wont matter much. The thinned paint flows on its own.

Rain stopped a long time ago, now its just some gusty wind. A few trees in the street but that just means free firewood to me, havent had power since this morning, well not supplied by nat. Grid that is, the generator is singing along, keepng the necesities up and running.

This storm was merely a baby, Gods way of clearing out the deadwood.

 

[XXXNITRO]

[Tony lee]

I don't know about a masterpiece Nitro but maybe presentable. ;D

I'll let you guys be the judge
