Lol looks good, I normally put a black bin bag over the wheel and tie the ends, then cut a hole out of the top and tuck the edges of the hole into the tyre wall. Easy peasy and does the job perfectly!

Good idea,but I wouldn`t be spraying until I sorted out the pitting around the rim(not having a go)

Paint the tyre with washing up liquid.
Then once the paint is dry on the wheel it rinse off with a hose pipe.

I used old engine oil on the wall of the tyre, works a treat
