    Default Painting rims

    I have a set of ANZ rims the paints all buggered on. What I want to do is respray them so that the spokes are black and the outside of the rim is red...So...round bit red spokes black. What would be the best way to make that happen? I'm a little worried in terms of where the spoke meets the outside of the rim where the colour is going to change from red to black. Is it just going to be a case of painting red then taping and masking and then spraying black or the other way around...Or is there a better way?

    but yes do them in a base coat paint one colour probably the red will be best first then the black.

    yeah thats probably the only way to do it, red first then black would be better because black will cover the red easier
    and unless your wheels are 2peice or 3peice, then thats the easiest way
