I had used some tire-black spray on my tires a while before I had painted.. tried taping off the tires but it wouldn't stick.. so I figured if tape wont stick to the greasy tire, neither will paint. I cant remember what grit sand paper I used, but scuffed it up good, laid down 2 or 3 coats of color and a couple coats of clear, then the overspray just came right off the tires.
I'm almost ready for new tires though and I expect to have a lot of the paint on the lip scraped off by the tire machine.. I'll just touch them up after I get new tires mounted and balanced. I guess masking off the lip and keeping it silver would avoid that problem though.
