i left the tyres on, masked majority up and held a piece of card just shaped to the tyre as i sprayed, bit of overspray on tyres but soon scrubbed off, and nope didnt laquer as he wanted a matt black finish if you are going for a gloss or metalic thats when you gotta use the laquer
 , boost look nice in black if there done right  |

Sorry guys painting them is well ok but recoating is better
Remove tyres Chemical strip (not as invasive as shot / sand) repair alloys as required never resin re-weld then smooth on a lathe then powder coat in your desired colour remount tyre balance if dark alloys use dark weights |

Same, I can't afford, so I'll be having a go myself, though it's going to be quite entertaining trying to take a wheel off, prep and spray it, put it back on, take another off and so on ha ha 90 Puma HT
