[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 100985, member: 60"] wheel lining is a job to be done properly or not at all At the Bicester show in the summer there was an auction on the sunday I had a quick look round on the Saturday and there was a shiny Comet it looked quite tidy including the wheels then I saw the rear wheel red line looked strange just behind the chain. The thin red line was tape and it had come undone for 2 or 3 inches and stretched across the last contact points in a straight line so tape lines are no good. You may think that you can use automotive masking tape which comes in one roll with 3 parts you tape it down and then pull off the center section and apply paint I have used it on a tank but you need a good watch and lots of testing because the margin of time when the paint is not to soft and not too hard when the side strips can pull off cleanly is very narrow. All in all you need a good tail brush and a spun wheel - not a job I want to do I will stick to alloy rims:) [/QUOTE]
