    good luck

    I've got 15 rims to do so this will make painting rims a breeze

    I got these pics from a web site (cant remember where) Credits to who ever thought of this method

    you got the pics from scotts ss resto website...
    just a point with these..the ones pictured on scotts site are canadian rims which have a sharper edge..from what scott tells me the roh rims will need a template taken from them as well to do properly..

    Hey jennie i just found this post was wondering which site you bought masking kit from? Had a set if wheels painted recently by spraypainter using masking kit and werent anywhere near as good as yours . Painter is not cheap and said that was the best he could do .

    Luke, I bought the sticker kit from pontiworld and they were not exactly accurate, but close. Still had to use masking tape. Also recommend using 3 coats of clear. I only put two and on some of the rims it is a little thin.
