GTS wheel painting

[vanman]

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

What a shit hot idea.
You should make and sell these you'd make a killing. :D

Making things yourself is half the fun...You learn more that way
Anyway It's not my idea so i'm not about to profit from someone's hard work...

Interesting idea, no there are two spares, will have to go and get the other 4 off the red van and do them....:Tongue:

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?
