GTS wheel painting

[ozbox]

I made fiberglass paint masks

I got a rim put some glue stick glue on it (easy release)
covered the rim with tin foil
Applied the fiberglass
after it's set ridged i popped it from the rim to be sure it wouldn't stick to the rim.
I then left it for a couple of days to set fully and used a die grinder and sanding disk to cut the mask.

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..

Is that how they dont them in the factory? How sharp where the lines?

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.

Luke we bought them from eBay it was about 2 years ago and we have used them so don't remember the brand sorry, they were good. I will see if they are in my eBay purchases and get back to you
