I use a piece of aluminum "flashing" that is about 4 inches wide, it flexes easily, covers the tire sidewall and goes half way around the tire and bead; I paint half the wheel at a time. A short piece of PEX plumbing pipe fits over the valve stem so it stays black, been using this method for years; well pleased with the ease and the result.
Painters tape for the area where the rim meets the tire, and old rags for the rest of the tire. 2 coats of primer, 3 coats of black Trim and Bumper paint, 2 coats of clear. Did it on my Pilot's wheels and they came out great!
I was able to keep the tire beaded and used a vacuum pump which made the tire recess from the rim enough i just took the carpet plastic and wrapped the tire easily and painted up to the inside of the rim.. good idea on the big wide cheap sticky plastic. Much cheaper than buying the painters sticky plastic. I just wouldnt use it on any painted surfaces.. too sticky..
Brilliant! Been doing it the hard way for a long time. I think I can just use my crash film which is probably the same stuff as the carpet protector. Going to try to find someting to rotate them on.Thanks
I can repaint all 4 wheels in the time it takes you to drive to the tire shop and they can scratch your wheels when remounting and reinstalling the wheel weights.
Ive only painted 1 set of wheels on a 2003 silverado and sprayed a good amount of a greasy tire shine on first. Then I just sprayed the wheels without masking anything and wiped the overspray off with a damp rag.
Or you could use that old deck of cards you have lying around by sliding them between the bead and rim and overlapping them. Takes under a minute and youre spraying.
Я так под низ, с внутренней стороны диска, вплотную подкладываю вырезанную в размер круглую картонку. Значительно сокращается расход краски. Можешь не благодарить😉
This is not plastic wrap! It is carpet protector. It has a gum adhesive on one side and will stick to rubber tires. I wipe tire first with lacquer thinner.
Being a painter just have to say that spinning the wheel & holding gun straight above the paint would not cover the side parts of rim. You have to do them individually.
What brand did you use? I just tried the surface shields brand from home depot and it's absolute garbage. It doesn't stick to the tire well and does not cut clean.
I tried this. I was skeptical that this method would allow me to get paint on the entire rim including underneath where the tire is instead of painting half a rim, but.....well.....maybe you can guess how that turned out.
It's carpet protector not shrink wrap. It comes with a tacky material on the back and will stick great to a rubber tire. maybe a quick wipe with lacquer thinner.
Please! For the love of God don't do this method! Cutting around the plastic with a blade?!??!! Are you nuts? Use the card/cue card method. Takes about the same amount of time to prep and much less risk of having to buy brand new tires!
Have you ever tried to purposely cut the bead on a tire? You don't have to cut hard or deep. doesn't even scratch the rubber. Playing cards are for PLAYING CARDS!
You could use whatever you like but it must be VERY sharp or the plastic will ball up instead of cut. It takes very little pressure to cut the plastic. Try to cut an old tire sometime and you will see that you can't cut a tire very easily.
I use tape and paper or cardboard. Don't care that he cut the plastic. The paint method bothered me. Id rather yse my hand to move and spray then spin the tire but whatever works
...it takes me 34 seconds to take a tire off a rim... And then I paint the entire rim...not just the outside, like these guys, and they charge for a full paint job, when they literally do only half, these GOOFS needs to be slapped

Absolutely nothing wrong in that at all. As long as the old painted surface is prepped properly ( sanded to produce a key for the new paint and degreased thoroughly.) this is completely normal. Your laughter just exposes your ignorance.
Yeah, this video was clearly made to be a quick showcase about how to mask the wheels and spin them rather than being something in depth of how to to prep and paint the metal surfaces. I did something similar for bike wheels where I held them with a long screw driver and spun them while holding the spray can. I've gotten pretty good with spray paint so even from a stationary position I don't have issues, but this is definitely a neat way to do it.

How I've done it as well.
If its worked so well for you for years why are you watching a video on masking tires for paint???

I never would have done it way…that’s a dang good idea to use clear plastic wrap! Turned out great 👍🏼
Great idea to use that wrapping plastic. I use a lazy susan myself I have a ton of it leftover from when I moved, and I’m painting rims today. Thanks.
Brilliant! Been doing it the hard way for a long time. I think I can just use my crash film which is probably the same stuff as the carpet protector. Going to try to find someting to rotate them on.Thanks
Try getting a lazy Suzanne or old office chair to rotate on
It may cost more but removing the the tire will give you better access to good painting angles and lighter to handle.

@@Desertsat The scratching part is the worry for me, keep it controllable do all at home.
Lmao wrong video pal
That's awesome, my neighbor gave me a roll of shrink wrap, I didn't know what to do w it. Now I know haha
Brilliantly done and demonstrated!
Great idea with the carpet protector! Just what I was looking for
Ive only painted 1 set of wheels on a 2003 silverado and sprayed a good amount of a greasy tire shine on first. Then I just sprayed the wheels without masking anything and wiped the overspray off with a damp rag.
All this time I have been using the plastic moving wrap, I was so close, never thought of the carpet plastic
Thanks! Loved the credits list.
Straight to the point! Simple and easy! Thanks
Playing cards stuck between tire bead and rim works great
Takes forever.
Spinning wheel! Genius!
Thanks. Just what I was looking for. Off the Home Cheapo.
Or you could use that old deck of cards you have lying around by sliding them between the bead and rim and overlapping them. Takes under a minute and youre spraying.
Thanks for posting. Since there's no one way is the right way, I appreciate the ingenuity shown in your vid. Haters just hate. Hit the mute button...

I've tried plastic wrap doesn't stay tight against edge of rim. I found duct tape works best and adheres best and can removed and used for each wheel.
This is not plastic wrap! It is carpet protector. It has a gum adhesive on one side and will stick to rubber tires. I wipe tire first with lacquer thinner.
God dammit. I've been doing prep work that took long af. Now I'll try usin nylon wrap. Should be quick masking.
Paint dish soap on tyre then spray let paint dry remove dish soap etc simples.
Being a painter just have to say that spinning the wheel & holding gun straight above the paint would not cover the side parts of rim. You have to do them individually.
Watch it again and see that we hold the gun at an angle. then reverse the angle and direction of the spin. I've done this hundreds of times.
As some one who been repairing and spraying wheels for over 5 years now this is extremely painful to watch. I'm sure they are looking great now 😅
I dunno how you were able to cut the stuff then get it around the rim without it sticking to itself or bunching up right there.. i couldnt do it..
smart! thank you for sharing
Yes thank you!!

Freakin awesome, thanks for sharing. 👏👏👏👍😎👍👉💥🛎
Mines didn't stick to the wheel. I cleaned the rubber but it keep rising up. I'm using cards now
It's carpet protector not shrink wrap. It comes with a tacky material on the back and will stick great to a rubber tire. maybe a quick wipe with lacquer thinner.
Very clever!
I just paint the tyre with washing up liquid , the paint does not stick to it and when dry just wash off !!
Great idea but what is that wrap called for me to buy it or link?
It is carpet protector. It is tacky on one side and can be bought at a home Depot or Lowe's
Super , gefällt mir 👍
Genius
Thanks 🙏
Brilliant.
notecards do work well though.
Brilliant
Good idea
Imagine if someone invented a machine that removes tyres from the rims
Yeah we all have a tire changer at home for that one time every 6-7 years you decide to paint your rims.
Nice job god bless
use cards and frog tape on the tires.
Using a blade is a idea on the tires
May I ask what kind of clear paper is that dose it stick to the tire ty Vernon
Roll of carpet protector from Lowes or Home Depot
Please! For the love of God don't do this method! Cutting around the plastic with a blade?!??!! Are you nuts? Use the card/cue card method. Takes about the same amount of time to prep and much less risk of having to buy brand new tires!
Have you ever tried to purposely cut the bead on a tire? You don't have to cut hard or deep. doesn't even scratch the rubber. Playing cards are for PLAYING CARDS!
I literally just came on here to say the same thing. Buy a 99 cent deck of cards
Some people know how to use razor blades and are not retarded
Playing cards method seems easier. I used painter’s tape the last time I did this and wished I’d gone the card route to save time.
Dude are you 10yrs old? It's a tire, not a balloon...
I used to use card from cereal boxes, never had any paint on tyres.
Just use some washing up liquid. And paint them silver.
It would be good if you could use something like a sharpened piece of plastic instead of a knife, wouldn't it? It scared me when you got to that part.
You could use whatever you like but it must be VERY sharp or the plastic will ball up instead of cut. It takes very little pressure to cut the plastic. Try to cut an old tire sometime and you will see that you can't cut a tire very easily.
It's more better and efficient without tires it's my opinion
Which sandpaper did you use ??
Index cards way easier but same thing
Wheels or Rims?
Yeah, no. I'll just use post cards to mask. I am not running a knife across the tire like that, I don't trust myself! lol
La idea es genial pero porqué arruinar una llanta tan bonita???
👏🏽
Yeah, I'm not putting a razorblade that close to a rubber tire
Have you ever tried to cut the bead of a tire before? I do it without touching the tire.
What’s the wheel sling on?
In the video it says he used an old washing machine drum so they spin! How it’s set up I have no clue!
I use tape and paper or cardboard. Don't care that he cut the plastic. The paint method bothered me. Id rather yse my hand to move and spray then spin the tire but whatever works
What’s the name of that tape your using
It's carpet protector film. Tacky on one side. From home improvement store or online.
Whoops! *slashes tires*
Apparently you have never tried to cut the bead on a steel belted radial tire.
Just take the wheel off
Why make your life/job harder
Thank you
Why not just dismount the tire
Time, and Paint is not as tough as factory wheel powder coat. I have painted wheels bare and had them scratched while mounting tires.
Use a pack of cards...much easier
I use magic
Just take the tire off of the rim
...it takes me 34 seconds to take a tire off a rim...
And then I paint the entire rim...not just the outside, like these guys, and they charge for a full paint job, when they literally do only half, these GOOFS needs to be slapped
Playing card method way quicker and easier than this
Good way to destroy a good set of rubber
This means you know nothing about rubber or tires! 😂

Don't do this !!!
Done it 100's of times with NO problems.
