[model-a]

Got a question,might be a dumb one but anyway. Can and what do you do to paint wheels is there something to do to the wheels before painting,or a special paint I feel sure that prepping the wheels is very important. Thanks for any info.

Tin foil. bunch it up around your spoke nipples. A lot easier than taping them off or taking them out. It will come off super easy when you're done

I use drinking straws, split them and slide them over the spokes, you don't even have to tape them and I've never had any paint get on the spoke nipples. Plus, drinking straws are either cheap or free and you can reuse them.
