Default nice trick when painting your rims

use a deck of playing cards wedging the cards between the bead and the rim
no overspray on the tires & no taping needed

So I was telling my friend and he has a better one...rub vaseleen on the sidewalls, paint rim and wipe off...added effect is it makes the tires nice and shiny...they do it to all the used cars with steel rims @ his dealership
