Title: Wheel painting question
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 19 November 2008, 15:01:52
This is not my area of expertise, so asking for advice here.

When refurbing a wheel, do you do it with the tyre fitted, or tyre removed?

I guess with tyre off it's easier access, but I didn't want to get any paint  on the inner rim, and the (old) tyre is probably a better mask than any tape  ::)

Tyres will all be replaced once wheels finished...

tyre off to do a wheel refurb

if its just to paint it (i wouldnt)  then you can mask off the tyre

normally this must be done wheels off.. Because before the paint step

 a final check and correction is required mostly..and this cant be done

with a wheel on it..The last time I paint the original miggy wheels

there was a fracture which was not visible with wheels on :o

but if you trust your wheels condition then no problem :y
