Stencil kits for GN wheels?

[gn1220]

Putting th GN wheels back on but I want to paint them first. Does anybody make a stencil kit to speed the painting process?

Nope, I just went through a year or so ago looking for a stencil, no one makes it that I know of. I finally gave up & broke out the masking tape 12 hours or so later all 4 wheels where ready for paint. Good Luck

Eastwood has a satin finish wheel paint. I did not want a glossy look.

Painting mine now masking tape and a razor blade, and yes its a pain and takes alot of time.

When I painted my GS wheels years ago, I cut out a stencil that covered just the outside of the rim, masked the center off. Then I gave it a thin coat of paint, then wiped off the chrome (where it wasn't supposed to be painted) with a rag with a little bit of thinner on it (just a small amount so it wouldn't run). Repeated this a couple of times on each wheel, turned out great. Much faster than masking the entire wheel.

I did mine and what a pain in the A**! I used gloss black as I wanted it to shine. I think it was a month later and Brian comes out with his rechhomes! I'll be buying a set of them soon off him as my chrome is crap for the most part. But man what a pain doing those rims. I did the 2 fronts then waited a week and did the rears just to break it up. You can see the difference here.. Look at my turned front wheel in this pic..
