The Novice’s Wheel Spraying Guide
Step 1:
Make sure the Alloy you wish to spray is completely clean then give it a light sand all over using a fine grade of wet and dry sandpaper. Once you have removed the top layer of paint, get rid of the remaining dirt / dust with a wet rag and leave to completely dry.

Step 2:
Using a thin type of masking tape, go round the entire edge of the alloy in-between the alloy and the tire (unless you can afford to have your tires taken off and replaced again afterwards).

Step 3:
Once you have masked off the entire edge of the alloy, cover the rest of the tire in newspaper and securely fasten it down using lots of masking tape (to prevent the wind or air from the spray canister blowing it up onto your freshly painted alloy)
Step 4:
Give your alloy and very light bottom coat
