    That there is one of those bloody obvious ideas that wouldn't have ever occurred to me if I hadn't see it done. Pretty sure I'm not the only one here who wouldn't have thought of this either. :D
    Thanks for sharing mate.

    Outstanding. I have always used tape & paper to protect the tire and it takes a long time. Thank you for an excellent tip.

    I just learned more from this short video than I've learned from watching a dozen of those "hack" videos. This is so easy, fast, and simple...definitely come in useful in the future. I'm bookmarking this video now!

      Nice and clever idea. But what with surface preparing, eg. sanding? The Paint won’t stick properly to old unprepared paint.

    • @DinanReforged
      @DinanReforged 2 роки тому +3

      It is a brilliant technique,that is undisputed,but if you can’t take out the wheels (lack of space and jacks or the experience of doing such a thing) the deck of cards it’s the only way :)

  • @mike130557

    What a brilliant solution! Having spent ages cutting curved pieces of newspaper, the taping them together, cutting a hole in an old bed sheet to mask the tyre behind the newspaper sections, tearing my hair out when my paper circle won’t stay tucked under the rim!!! Grrrrr!!!
    Letting the tyre down was also a brilliant idea, thank you so much!!!

    That is the most elegant solution to tire masking I have ever seen. I suspect the results might depend on the mil thickness of the plastic sheet, 1 mil or less perhaps?

    A trick a lot of wheel repairers use is let the tyre down and slip playing cards in the gap. It works well but doesnt cover the complete tyre like this trick. Well done!
