Foxer Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) I need to do a set of Fuchs with aluminum outside rings and black centers. I planned to paint the aluminum first and then mask the centers, but how to get a good mask for this is throwing me. Here's a shot of the 1:1 wheels like I need .. and these are the wheels before primer. It's just the deeper center that has to be black, the shape not exactly as the 1:1 photo above. I'd appreciate any thoughts greatly. Edited October 6, 2013 by Foxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I would use some type of aluminum sleeve, and insert the center web from the back. Getting a really nice separation line between the black and (natural/bare?) aluminum is going to be very difficult via masking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kucaba Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Find anything circular(like a coin) and paint the center. Drop the circular mask on the center held with a dab of Liquitape then paint the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
