Alloy Wheel Refurbish

[normanr]

Hi Guys
I know this has been done before (as picture).
I did it this way as I was able to tuck the tape right under the rim of the wheel,I bought some cheap masking tape from Pound savers (4 for a pound).

Continue from ist one.
I went round the wheel using a small piece of tape at a time and when I finished I went round and pushed the tape under the rim with a blunt screwdriver.
Then I cut the plastic to cover the rest of the wheel and sprayed away,the finished picture shows some marks around the centre cap but it must have pixilated a bit because there are no marks on the actual wheel.
I tried using just plastic but found it awkward to get it under the rim nice and tight.
This only took an hour to clean, tape up, and paint so not to bad on a nice day as it is today.
I did this in two sections because it said I had used my picture quota up,probably doing something wrong

Thanks for the comments guys but I don't think I should have done it because I have made it rain.
It is peeing down in Bristol (good old global warming I DON'T THINK)

I was wondering why the wheels had changed design too !!

I wondered why they wouldn't fit,that paint was stronger than I thought.
