Rostyle Wheels

[Rebel Yell 1]

I'm cleaning my rostyle wheels at the moment, the chrome spokes are a little pitted but should come up a lot with some polish. The black areas need a lot of attention.

Does anyone know of a masking kit available to cover the chrome spokes while painting the black areas, looks like a right pain to have to mask off the chrome areas properly ?

Not really but it is possible to get line tape that wont get so much paint build up as much as normal masking tape and is a lot more pliable.

Masking out for paint work its like thin plastic masking tape normally yellow and comes in different widths ...try a bodyshop supplier near you ...or nip into a bodyshop and ask em if you can buy or have some..

go with the fineline tape and dont be tempted to use masking tape instead as you will find the paint bleeds under the edge...

I think they do a refurb kit apart from offering a full service.

Finished my DIY refurb, felt like one of the American Chopper pin stripping dudes when I was using the fine line tape ! :winner: worked great though !

Just hope they last now !
