Wrap the tire in plastic wrap, overlapping the sidewall, then you only have to tape up the edge of the rim.

I n related news:  my partner is not a subtle woman, and Montana Gold graffiti spray paint is my favorite way to paint rims.

This is a really great technique. Thanks for sharing, the results look great.

If you’ve never used it, “ tape and drape ” is magical stuff and accomplishes the same goal.

That’s freaking genious. I’ll do that next time instead of using newspapers to tape and retape and tape and retape and tape and retape on the tires.

Yeah. B efore this I’d use half a newspaper and a whole roll of tape.

The only thing I’d add is to use index cards on the rim instead of tape. Then you can be pretty rough with the plastic and don’t need to use 50 pieces of tape that don’t really want to make that curve...

I’ve never had that work, every attempt the spray paint either blew the cards out or got under the cards.

Best way to mask tires is to just let overspray get all over the old tires before getting new ones!

I just used index cards around the rim. Better for the dolphins and urchins.
